Access Load Control in Peer-to-Peer Networks - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17879023 titled 'Access Load Control in Peer-to-Peer Networks
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for a relay device to prioritize messages received from multiple requesting devices and transmit them to a remote device.
- The relay device identifies the first and second messages received from different requesting devices.
- It determines the priority level of the first message based on a parameter and checks if it meets a priority threshold.
- If the first message satisfies the priority threshold, the relay device transmits a relay message to the remote device based on the first message.
- However, if the second message does not meet the priority threshold, the relay device sends a backoff message to the second requesting device.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in communication systems where multiple devices send messages to a central remote device.
- It can be used in network relays or routers to prioritize and manage incoming messages from different sources.
Problems Solved
- The technology solves the problem of efficiently handling and prioritizing messages from multiple requesting devices.
- It ensures that messages meeting a certain priority threshold are given priority in transmission, while lower priority messages are handled differently.
Benefits
- The method allows for efficient management of message transmission by prioritizing higher priority messages.
- It helps in optimizing network resources by ensuring that important messages are transmitted promptly.
- The technology improves overall communication system performance by effectively handling message prioritization.
Original Abstract Submitted
Implementations relate to identifying, by a relay device, a first message received from a first requesting device of a plurality of requesting devices; identifying, by the relay device, a second message received from a second requesting device of the plurality of requesting devices; determining, by the relay device based at least in part on a parameter of the first message, that the first message has a first priority level that satisfies a priority threshold; determining, by the relay device based at least in part on a parameter of the second message, that the second message has a second priority level that does not satisfy the priority threshold; transmitting a relay message to a remote device based at least in part on the first message; and transmitting a backoff message to the second requesting device.
