Vehicle Information Relay Server for Poor Communication Quality
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In communication systems where vehicles transmit vehicle information to a server, delays can occur due to deteriorating communication quality with certain vehicles, affecting the server's ability to acquire this information efficiently.
Innovation Solution
A server system that determines communication quality with vehicles and, when it falls below a predetermined threshold, requests other vehicles in the network to collect and transmit the delayed vehicle's information, thereby reducing the likelihood of acquisition delays and improving data accuracy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the server directly receives vehicle information from the first vehicle, then the communication protocol is simple, but the server may be delayed in acquiring vehicle information when communication quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a second vehicle as an intermediary to relay vehicle information when the first vehicle's communication quality deteriorates. The server detects poor communication quality with the first vehicle and requests the second vehicle to transmit the first vehicle's information instead, thereby reducing acquisition delay while maintaining protocol simplicity.
2Reliability
If the server requests other vehicles to transmit information when communication quality is low, then the vehicle information acquisition reliability improves, but the communication system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic communication strategy where the server adaptively switches between direct reception mode and intermediary relay mode based on real-time communication quality assessment. When communication quality with the first vehicle is above a threshold, the server receives information directly; when below the threshold, it requests relay from the second vehicle, thereby improving reliability without permanently increasing system complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
A server is configured to communicate with a first vehicle and a second vehicle. When determination is made that a communication quality with the first vehicle is lower than a predetermined quality, the server is configured to transmit, to the second vehicle, information indicating a request of transmitting vehicle information of the first vehicle from the second vehicle.
