Redundant Communication Apparatus for Dynamic Bandwidth Optimization

The patent applies dynamics by making the redundancy level adjustable rather than fixed. The redundancy level determination unit dynamically changes the redundancy level based on network state information (packet loss rate) to optimize the balance between reliability and transmission time. When packet loss rate is high, redundancy level increases to improve reliability; when packet loss rate is low, redundancy level decreases to reduce transmission time.

The patent changes the parameter of redundancy level based on network conditions. The system monitors packet loss rate and adjusts the redundancy level parameter accordingly. This parameter change allows the system to adapt to varying network states, ensuring reliable transmission when needed while minimizing transmission time when network conditions are good.

The patent applies universality by making the communication device perform multiple functions within a single integrated system. The encoding unit can operate at different redundancy levels, the system can switch between forward error correction and retransmission modes, and the redundancy level determination unit integrates network monitoring and control functions. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated systems for each function.

The system applies self-service through automatic redundancy level adjustment based on monitored network conditions. The redundancy level determination unit automatically determines the appropriate redundancy level based on packet loss rate information, eliminating the need for manual configuration or external control. The system monitors its own performance and adjusts parameters autonomously.
