Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing relay communication systems face challenges in dynamically adapting relay paths when the connection destination apparatus changes, leading to inefficient communication and potential signal mistransfer.
Innovation Solution
A relay apparatus equipped with a determination unit to assess whether the base station apparatus connected via the changed connection destination is the same or different, and a setting unit to execute specific relay path settings based on this determination, ensuring seamless communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the relay apparatus uses fixed relay path settings, then the system configuration is simple, but the system cannot adapt when connection destination changes
Solution Approach 1:
The relay path setting is changed from fixed to dynamic. The determination unit dynamically identifies whether a base station apparatus is the same or different based on connection changes, and the setting unit dynamically adjusts relay path settings accordingly. This enables the system to adapt to connection destination changes while maintaining manageable complexity through automated determination and setting processes.
2Productivity
If the relay apparatus dynamically adjusts relay paths, then communication efficiency improves, but the risk of signal mistransfer increases
Solution Approach 1:
The determination unit provides feedback by identifying whether the base station apparatus is the same or different, which guides the setting unit in making appropriate relay path settings. This feedback mechanism ensures that dynamic adjustments are made with accurate information, maintaining signal transfer accuracy while improving communication efficiency through adaptive path selection.
Solution Approach 2:
The determination unit acts as an intermediary between the connection status and the relay path setting. It mediates the information about base station identity and translates it into appropriate setting instructions, reducing the risk of mistransfer by ensuring that settings are based on accurate determination of the current connection state.
3Reliability
If the relay apparatus implements detailed determination and setting processes, then communication reliability improves, but the processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The relay apparatus performs preliminary determination of base station identity before making relay path settings. By identifying whether the base station is the same or different in advance, the system can prepare appropriate settings beforehand, ensuring reliability while minimizing processing time during actual connection changes.

AI summary
A relay apparatus for wirelessly relaying communication between a base station apparatus and a terminal apparatus determines, when a connection destination apparatus of wireless connection in a relay path is changed while being connected to a first base station apparatus via a relay path, whether a base station apparatus connected via the changed connection destination apparatus is the first base station apparatus or a second base station apparatus different from the first base station apparatus, and executes, when the base station apparatus connected via the changed connection destination apparatus is the second base station apparatus, first setting concerning a relay path after the change, and executing, when the base station apparatus connected via the changed connection destination apparatus is the first base station apparatus, second setting different from the first setting and concerning a relay path after the change.
