Wireless Frame Termination Signaling for Priority Data Handover
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In wireless communication networks, once a device begins transmitting a data frame over a particular wireless channel, the channel remains unavailable for other frames until the current frame's transmission is complete, which can hinder the timely transmission of higher priority data.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a termination signal to indicate premature termination of a lower priority data frame, allowing the channel to be released for higher priority data transmission, and detecting this signal within the network to facilitate timely communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a device transmits a data frame over a wireless channel, then the data frame is transmitted successfully, but the channel remains unavailable for other frames until transmission is complete
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by transmitting a termination signal before the actual termination of data frame transmission. This allows receiving devices to prepare for channel reuse in advance, reducing the time the channel remains unavailable for other transmissions.
Solution Approach 2:
The termination signal acts as an intermediary between the transmitting device and receiving devices. It conveys the intent to terminate transmission before the actual termination occurs, enabling receiving devices to adjust their behavior and release channel resources prematurely without causing data corruption.
2Manufacturing precision
If transmission of a lower priority data frame is completed, then data integrity is maintained, but higher priority data transmission is delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The transmitting device sends a termination signal in advance to indicate that lower priority frame transmission will be terminated. This allows higher priority data to be transmitted immediately after the termination signal, maintaining data integrity for the lower priority frame while enabling faster transmission of higher priority data.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts transmission priorities by allowing premature termination of lower priority frames. The termination signal enables a smooth transition from lower priority to higher priority transmission, making the channel allocation flexible and adaptive to changing priority requirements.
3Loss of time
If the wireless channel is released early for higher priority data, then transmission time for time-sensitive data is reduced, but receiving devices may not be ready to receive
Solution Approach 1:
The termination signal is transmitted before the actual termination of the data frame, giving receiving devices advance notice to prepare for channel reuse. This preliminary notification ensures that receiving devices are ready to receive higher priority data immediately when the channel becomes available, maintaining reliability while reducing transmission delays.
Data Source
AI summary
Example operations may include initiating wireless transmission of a first data frame of data designated for wireless transmission. The wireless transmission of the first data frame may be via a first wireless signal packet configured to carry the data of the first data frame. The operations include directing termination of the wireless transmission of the first data frame via the first wireless signal packet prior to wireless transmission, via the first wireless signal packet, of all of the data of the first data frame. In addition, the operations include directing, in response to termination of transmission of the first data frame, wireless transmission of a termination signal, the termination signal indicating that transmission of the first data frame via the first wireless signal packet terminated prior to completion of transmission of all of the data of the first data frame via the first wireless signal packet.
