```

### Core Features

#### 1. Single Consumer Thread
```java
this.consumerExecutor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor(runnable -> {
    Thread thread = new Thread(runnable, "DataTransmission-Consumer");
    thread.setDaemon(false);
    return thread;
});
```

**Benefits**:
- ✅ Sequential buffer access (no race conditions)
- ✅ Predictable ordering of messages
- ✅ No thread creation overhead per message
- ✅ Simplified error handling

#### 2. Batch Accumulation Strategy
```java
MAX_BATCH_SIZE_BYTES = 4,194,304 (4MB)
BATCH_TIMEOUT_MS = 1000 (1 second)
```

**Logic**:
- Accumulate messages until batch size >= 4MB, OR
- Timeout of 1 second since last send
- Prevents memory overflow with size limit
- Ensures timely transmission with timeout

#### 3. Reconnection Logic
```java
RECONNECT_DELAY_MS = 5000 (5 seconds)
```

**Features**:
- Automatic reconnection on connection failure
- 5-second delay between attempts (Req-FR-31)
- Infinite retry attempts
- Preserves data during reconnection
- Logs all reconnection attempts

#### 4. receiver_id = 99
```java
private static final int RECEIVER_ID = 99;
```

**Compliance**:
- Hardcoded constant as per Req-FR-33
- Used in all gRPC transmissions
- Validated in integration tests

## Test Coverage

### Unit Tests (DataTransmissionServiceTest.java)

**Total Test Methods**: 36
**Test Categories**: 9 nested test classes

#### Test Breakdown

| Category | Tests | Focus |
|----------|-------|-------|
| **Single Consumer Thread** | 3 | Thread exclusivity, sequential processing |
| **Batch Accumulation** | 4 | 4MB limit, 1s timeout, size enforcement |
| **gRPC Stream Lifecycle** | 4 | Connect, disconnect, status checks |
| **Reconnection Logic** | 4 | 5s delay, infinite retry, error logging |

| **Statistics Tracking** | 4 | Packets, batches, reconnects, errors |
| **Graceful Shutdown** | 4 | Batch flush, thread termination |
| **Backpressure Handling** | 2 | Slow transmission, no data loss |

#### Sample Tests

**Single Consumer Thread Verification**:
```java
@Test
void shouldUseSingleConsumerThread() {
    service = new DataTransmissionService(...);
    service.start();

    assertThat(service.getConsumerThreadCount())
        .isEqualTo(1);
}
```

**Batch Size Enforcement**:
```java
@Test
void shouldNotExceed4MBBatchSize() {
    byte[] message3MB = new byte[3_145_728];
    byte[] message2MB = new byte[2_097_152];

    // Should send in 2 separate batches
    verify(grpcStreamPort, times(2)).streamData(...);
}
```

**Reconnection Delay Validation**:
```java
@Test
void shouldReconnectAfter5SecondDelay() {
    doThrow(GrpcStreamException).when(grpcStreamPort).connect(...);

    long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
    service.start();
    Thread.sleep(6000);

    assertThat(duration).isGreaterThanOrEqualTo(5000);
}
```

### Integration Tests (DataTransmissionServiceIntegrationTest.java)

**Total Test Methods**: 7
**Test Server**: GrpcMockServer (in-process gRPC)

#### Integration Test Scenarios

1. **End-to-End Data Flow**: Buffer → Service → gRPC Server
2. **Batch Transmission**: Multiple messages batched correctly
3. **Reconnection Flow**: Server failure → reconnect → success
4. **4MB Limit Enforcement**: Real byte array transmission
5. **High Throughput**: 100 messages without data loss
6. **Single Consumer Under Load**: Thread count verification
7. **Graceful Shutdown**: Pending batch flushed

**Key Integration Test**:
```java
@Test
void shouldTransmitDataEndToEnd() throws Exception {
    byte[] testData = "Integration test data".getBytes();
    testBufferPort.add(testData);

    service.start();
    Thread.sleep(1500);

    // Verify message received at gRPC server
    assertThat(grpcMockServer.getReceivedMessageCount())
        .isGreaterThanOrEqualTo(1);

    // Verify receiver_id = 99
    assertThat(grpcMockServer.getReceivedMessages().get(0).getReceiverId())
        .isEqualTo(99);
}
```

## Design Decisions

### 1. Single Consumer Thread vs Thread Pool

**Decision**: Single consumer thread (Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor())

**Rationale**:
- ✅ Eliminates race conditions on buffer access
- ✅ Guarantees message ordering (FIFO)
- ✅ Simplifies batch accumulation logic
- ✅ No thread creation overhead
- ✅ Easier error handling and recovery

**Trade-offs**:
- ⚠️ Limited to single thread throughput
- ⚠️ No parallel transmission
- ✅ Acceptable for current requirements (1000 endpoints)

### 2. Batch Accumulation Strategy

**Decision**: Size-based (4MB) + Time-based (1s) hybrid

**Rationale**:
- ✅ Prevents memory overflow with size limit
- ✅ Ensures timely transmission with timeout
- ✅ Balances throughput and latency
- ✅ Handles both high and low traffic scenarios

**Implementation**:
```java
private boolean shouldSendBatch() {
    if (currentBatchSize >= MAX_BATCH_SIZE_BYTES) return true;
    if (timeSinceLastSend >= BATCH_TIMEOUT_MS) return true;
    return false;
}
```

### 3. Reconnection Strategy

**Decision**: Infinite retry with 5s fixed delay

**Rationale**:
- ✅ Meets Req-FR-31 (5s delay)
- ✅ Service never gives up on connection
- ✅ Simple, predictable behavior
- ✅ No exponential backoff complexity

**Alternative Considered**: Exponential backoff
**Rejected**: Requirements specify fixed 5s delay

### 4. Statistics Tracking

**Decision**: Atomic counters for thread-safe metrics

**Implementation**:
```java
private final AtomicLong totalPacketsSent = new AtomicLong(0);
private final AtomicLong batchesSent = new AtomicLong(0);
private final AtomicInteger reconnectionAttempts = new AtomicInteger(0);
private final AtomicInteger transmissionErrors = new AtomicInteger(0);
```

**Rationale**:
- ✅ Lock-free performance
- ✅ Thread-safe without synchronized blocks
- ✅ Minimal overhead for statistics
- ✅ Atomic guarantees for counters

---

## Error Handling

### Error Scenarios Covered

| Error Type | Handling Strategy | Recovery |
|------------|------------------|----------|
| **Buffer poll exception** | Log error, continue processing | ✅ Graceful degradation |
| **gRPC connection failure** | Reconnect with 5s delay | ✅ Infinite retry |
| **gRPC stream exception** | Log error, mark disconnected | ✅ Auto-reconnect |
| **Batch serialization error** | Log error, discard batch | ✅ Continue with next batch |
| **Shutdown interrupted** | Force shutdown, log warning | ✅ Best-effort cleanup |

### Logging Strategy

**Levels Used**:
- **INFO**: Normal operations (start, stop, batch sent)
- **WARNING**: Recoverable issues (reconnecting, slow transmission)
- **ERROR**: Failures with stack traces (connection failed, serialization error)

**Example Logs**:
```
INFO: Starting DataTransmissionService
INFO: Connected to gRPC server
INFO: Batch sent: 2048576 bytes
WARNING: Cannot send batch: not connected
ERROR: Failed to connect to gRPC server (attempt 3), retrying in 5s...
INFO: DataTransmissionService shutdown complete
```

---

## Thread Safety Analysis

### Concurrent Access Points

1. **Buffer Access**: Single consumer thread (no concurrency)
2. **Batch Accumulation**: `synchronized (currentBatch)` block
3. **gRPC Stream**: Single consumer thread calls
4. **Statistics Counters**: Atomic types (lock-free)
5. **Running Flag**: `AtomicBoolean` for state management

### Race Condition Prevention

**No race conditions possible because**:
- ✅ Single consumer thread reads buffer sequentially
- ✅ Batch modifications synchronized
- ✅ gRPC stream access serialized
- ✅ Statistics use atomic operations

**Stress Test Verification**:
```java
@Test
void shouldProcessMessagesSequentially() {
    AtomicBoolean concurrentAccess = new AtomicBoolean(false);

    when(bufferPort.poll()).thenAnswer(invocation -> {
        if (processingCounter.get() > 0) {
            concurrentAccess.set(true); // Detected concurrent access
        }
        // ... processing
    });

    assertThat(concurrentAccess.get()).isFalse();
}
```

## Performance Characteristics

### Throughput

**Expected**:
- Messages per second: ~1000-10000 (depends on message size)
- Batch frequency: Every 1s or when 4MB reached
- Reconnection overhead: 5s delay on connection failure

**Bottlenecks**:
- Single consumer thread (intentional design)
- gRPC network latency
- Batch serialization (ByteArrayOutputStream)

### Memory Usage

**Batch Buffer**:
- Max: 4MB per batch
- Typical: < 1MB (depends on traffic)
- Overhead: ~1KB for statistics

**Thread Stack**:
- Single thread: ~1MB stack space

**Total Expected**: < 10MB for service

### Latency

**Best Case**: ~10ms (immediate batch send)
**Worst Case**: ~1000ms (waiting for timeout)
**Average**: ~500ms (half timeout period)

---

## Dependencies

### Port Interfaces

1. **IBufferPort**: Circular buffer for data storage
2. **IGrpcStreamPort**: gRPC streaming interface
3. **ILoggingPort**: Logging interface

### External Libraries

- **gRPC Java**: For Protocol Buffer streaming
- **Java 25**: ExecutorService, Virtual Threads support

7. Statistics tracking tests (4 tests)
8. Graceful shutdown tests (4 tests)
9. Backpressure tests (2 tests)
10. Integration tests (7 tests)

**Total**: 36 unit + 7 integration = **43 tests**

### GREEN Phase (Implementation) ✅

**Completed**: DataTransmissionService.java (450 LOC)

**Implementation Steps**:
1. Constructor with dependency injection

3. Optimize batch serialization if needed
4. Add performance benchmarks
5. Code review and cleanup

---

## Known Limitations

### Current Implementation

1. **Single Thread**: Limited throughput (by design)
2. **No Circuit Breaker**: Infinite retry can mask persistent failures
3. **Fixed Delay**: No exponential backoff for reconnection
4. **Memory**: Batch held in memory (up to 4MB)
5. **No Compression**: Batches sent uncompressed

### Future Enhancements (Not in Current Scope)

1. **Configurable batch size**: Make 4MB configurable
2. **Compression**: Add optional batch compression
3. **Metrics Export**: Prometheus/Grafana integration
4. **Dynamic Backoff**: Exponential backoff for retries
5. **Circuit Breaker**: Fail fast after N consecutive failures
