Relay Terminal Routing for Long-Distance End-to-End Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
End-to-end communication between devices is not possible when the distance between the sending and receiving ends is too far.
Innovation Solution
Convert end-to-end communication into point-to-point communication by using a first relay terminal to relay the communication link between a first and second remote terminal, enabling long-distance communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If end-to-end communication is attempted directly between sending and receiving ends, then communication simplicity is maintained, but communication cannot be realized when distance is too far
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a relay terminal as an intermediary device between the sending end and receiving end. When direct communication fails due to excessive distance, the relay terminal receives and forwards communication signals, enabling indirect communication paths. This mediator approach resolves the contradiction by allowing communication realization without requiring direct line-of-sight connections.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the direct end-to-end communication link into multiple point-to-point segments through relay terminals. Instead of requiring a single direct connection between sending and receiving ends, the communication path is divided into multiple shorter hops, each within feasible transmission ranges, thereby enabling long-distance communication.
2Length of moving object
If relay terminals are introduced to extend communication distance, then long-distance communication is enabled, but communication link complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The relay terminal serves as a mediator that simplifies the complexity management by providing standardized interfaces and protocols for signal reception and forwarding. This mediator approach allows the system to extend communication distance while maintaining manageable link complexity through modular relay nodes.
3Reliability
If end-to-end communication is converted to point-to-point communication through relay terminals, then long-distance communication is achieved, but communication path complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex end-to-end communication path into simpler point-to-point links between adjacent nodes (sending end-relay terminal, relay terminal-receiving end). Each segment operates independently with simplified protocols, reducing the complexity of individual communication paths while achieving long-distance connectivity through the series of segments.

AI summary
Provided are a wireless communication method and a remote terminal. The method includes that: a first remote terminal determines a first relay terminal for point-to-point communication; and the first remote terminal performs end-to-end communication with a second remote terminal through the first relay terminal. End-to-end communication is converted into point-to-point communication through the first relay terminal, so that when the distance between a sending end and a requesting end is too far, relaying may be performed on a communication link between the first remote terminal and the second remote terminal through the first relay terminal, so as to realize end-to-end communication.
