Solution Overview

Problem

Existing road-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication systems struggle to maintain stable communication when vehicle speeds are high, as vehicles quickly move through multiple cells, leading to frequent handovers and instability in communication.

Innovation Solution

A communication system that detects vehicle speed and adjusts the communication frequency accordingly, using a first frequency for lower speeds and a second, lower frequency for higher speeds, allowing for stable communication even at high speeds by maintaining connectivity within a wider cell.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If a vehicle travels at high speed through multiple cells, then communication coverage area is improved, but communication stability deteriorates due to frequent handovers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecell coverage areaVSAvoidcommunication stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the frequency parameter of the radio signal based on vehicle speed. When vehicle speed exceeds a threshold, the system switches to a lower frequency band, which has better propagation characteristics and can maintain stable communication over longer distances and through multiple cells, thus resolving the contradiction between coverage area and communication stability.
