COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18054627 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

Abstract

A communication apparatus is described that can efficiently transmit packets of data between different devices. The apparatus calculates the total size of a generated packet and a received packet, and determines whether this total size exceeds a threshold value. If the total size is below the threshold, both packets are transmitted via a first transmission path to a second device. If the total size exceeds the threshold, the received packet is transmitted via the first transmission path, while the generated packet is transmitted via a second transmission path to the second device.

Bullet Points

  • Communication apparatus for efficient packet transmission
  • Calculates total size of generated and received packets
  • Determines if total size exceeds threshold value
  • Transmits both packets via first transmission path if total size is below threshold
  • Transmits received packet via first transmission path and generated packet via second transmission path if total size exceeds threshold

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various communication systems, such as computer networks, telecommunication networks, and IoT devices.
  • It can be used in scenarios where efficient packet transmission is crucial, such as real-time data streaming, video conferencing, and online gaming.
  • The technology can also be beneficial in situations where network congestion or limited bandwidth is a concern, allowing for optimized packet transmission.

Problems Solved

  • Efficiently transmitting packets of data is essential in modern communication systems, but it can be challenging when dealing with varying packet sizes and limited bandwidth.
  • This technology solves the problem of optimizing packet transmission by dynamically determining the best path based on the total size of the packets.
  • It ensures that packets are transmitted in the most efficient manner, reducing delays, improving overall network performance, and minimizing the risk of congestion.

Benefits

  • Improved efficiency in packet transmission, leading to reduced latency and improved overall network performance.
  • Dynamic determination of transmission paths based on packet size helps optimize bandwidth usage and reduces the risk of network congestion.
  • Enables seamless transmission of packets even when the total size exceeds a threshold, ensuring uninterrupted communication between devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication apparatus generates a packet, receives a packet from a first other apparatus, calculates a sum value of a data size of the generated packet and a data size of the received packet, in a case where it is determined the sum value does not exceed a threshold value, transmits the generated packet and the received packet to a second other apparatus via a first transmission path and, in a case where it is determined that the sum value exceeds the threshold value, transmits the received packet to the second other apparatus via the first transmission path and transmits the generated packet to the second other apparatus via a second transmission path.
