Surgical Robotic Li-Fi Alignment for Packet-Loss-Resilient Control

The patent applies local quality by using different communication technologies and frequencies for different communication channels. Each channel has distinct characteristics (e.g., Wi-Fi, 5G, Li-Fi, Bluetooth at different frequencies) optimized for specific conditions, allowing the system to select the most reliable channel for each particular communication need while maintaining overall wireless operation simplicity.

The system dynamically changes communication parameters by switching between different wireless channels based on real-time channel quality monitoring. When interference or packet loss is detected on one channel, the system transitions to another channel with better quality, thereby maintaining reliability without sacrificing the ease of wireless operation.

The control tower and robotic system components are designed with multi-functionality, housing multiple transceivers that can operate across different wireless channels. This universal design allows a single system to manage multiple communication channels through integrated channel quality monitoring and switching logic, reducing the need for separate dedicated systems for each channel and thereby limiting the increase in overall device complexity.

The system implements feedback mechanisms where channel quality is continuously monitored and used to automatically select the optimal communication channel. This closed-loop approach simplifies complexity management by automating channel selection based on real-time conditions, eliminating the need for manual intervention or complex user-side decision-making logic.

The system performs preliminary actions by continuously monitoring channel quality in advance and maintaining readiness to switch channels before actual packet loss occurs. This proactive approach minimizes the time required for channel switching during critical moments, as the switching logic and alternative channels are already prepared and identified.

The patent implements partial monitoring of channel quality rather than exhaustive analysis of all possible channels. By monitoring key parameters and using threshold-based decisions, the system achieves sufficient reliability improvement while minimizing the time overhead associated with comprehensive channel assessment and switching operations.
