Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In current multi-link connection systems, the uneven allocation of link resources among multiple links and the uncertain determination of the first anchor point lead to inefficient utilization of links.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for determining the initial anchor point of each connection link based on the relationship between the time to send a connection request and the time point of a connection event in a first connection link, ensuring an identical connection interval and balanced distribution of connection events across links.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the first anchor point in each link is determined from the time point at which the slave device is scanned by the master device, then the connection can be established, but the first anchor points are determined at random with uncertainty leading to uneven allocation of link resources
Solution Approach 1:
The master device pre-calculates and determines the initial anchor point for each connection link before actual data transmission begins. By performing this calculation in advance based on the connection interval and target time points, the system eliminates random determination and ensures even distribution of connection events across multiple links, thereby improving link utilization efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the determination parameter from random time points to calculated time points based on the formula involving connection interval and target time points. This parameter change transforms the anchor point determination from an uncertain process to a controlled one, ensuring even allocation of link resources across multiple simultaneous connections
2Productivity
If multiple connection links are established simultaneously to transmit data to multiple slave devices, then the data transmission capacity is improved, but the link resources cannot be efficiently utilized due to uncertain determination of first anchor points
Solution Approach 1:
The master device pre-calculates the initial anchor point for each connection link before actual data transmission begins. By performing this calculation in advance based on the connection interval and target time points, the system eliminates random determination and ensures even distribution of connection events across multiple links, thereby improving link utilization efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements periodic connection events distributed across multiple links with identical connection intervals. By scheduling connection events at periodic intervals and distributing them evenly across M links, the system maximizes data transmission capacity while minimizing link resource waste through balanced utilization
3Device complexity
If the initial anchor point is determined randomly, then the connection setup is simple, but the connection events are not evenly distributed leading to uneven allocation of link resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the determination parameter from random time points to calculated time points based on the formula involving connection interval and target time points. This parameter change transforms the anchor point determination from an uncertain process to a controlled one, ensuring even allocation of link resources across multiple simultaneous connections
