Wireless Control Plan Segmentation for Reliable AGV and Drone Commands
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for wirelessly controlling control target apparatuses, such as AGVs or drones, often require multiple wireless resources to improve reliability, but this can be inefficient in terms of resource usage.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus that generates a control plan for a control target apparatus and determines a partial control plan based on control risk information, transmitting the control plan using one wireless resource and the partial control plan using a different wireless resource.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple wireless resources are used to transmit control signals, then reliability of control is improved, but resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control signal is segmented into a full control plan and a partial control plan. The full control plan is transmitted using one wireless resource, while the partial control plan (containing only essential information for high-risk operations) is transmitted using a different wireless resource. This segmentation allows the system to maintain high reliability by ensuring critical commands are delivered while reducing overall resource consumption by not transmitting complete control plans through multiple channels.
Solution Approach 2:
Different parts of the control signal receive different transmission treatments based on their importance. The partial control plan containing critical control information is transmitted with higher reliability (through multiple wireless resources), while less critical information is transmitted through a single channel. This local quality approach optimizes resource allocation by applying enhanced transmission only where necessary.
2Reliability
If multiple wireless resources are used for control signal transmission, then control reliability is improved, but communication time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control information is divided into full control plan and partial control plan, transmitted through different wireless resources. This segmentation enables parallel transmission of different control components, reducing total communication time compared to transmitting complete control plans sequentially through multiple channels for reliability verification.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of transmitting complete control plans through multiple wireless resources for verification, the system transmits only the essential partial control plan through additional channels. This partial action approach maintains reliability for critical operations while significantly reducing the time required for redundant transmissions.
