A wireless network signal channel intelligent switching method and system

PendingCN122340564ATelecommunicationsAutomatic train operation
This invention discloses a method and system for intelligent switching of wireless network signal channels, relating to the field of wireless communication technology. The method involves sensing at least one other channel besides the current working channel while maintaining communication on the current working channel, identifying and marking at least one inferior channel. This inferior channel meets preset low-quality conditions and is different from the current working channel. This invention does not rely on external positioning information such as GPS / BeiDou; it can complete channel sensing and coding detection using only communication gaps. It can still function normally in tunnel scenarios, fundamentally solving the switching problem when trains pass through tunnels. Furthermore, by using a timing coupling mechanism that first eliminates inferior channels and then performs binary coding detection, the globally optimal channel can be deterministically locked. Theoretical analysis and simulation verification show that the switching success rate can reach over 99.5%, and the switching delay is controlled within 30ms, fully meeting the stringent requirements of 5G-R systems for high-reliability services such as automatic train operation.
