Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication networks face challenges in maintaining steady communication when a mission-critical wireless communication apparatus fails, as rebuilding the network requires significant radio and power resources, limiting data allocation and affecting communication stability.

Innovation Solution

A wireless communication apparatus with a redundant configuration, where a control section designates a first device as active and a second device as redundant, copies data and coupling information to the redundant device, allowing seamless takeover without rebuilding the network, thus maintaining communication without resource-intensive packet exchanges.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the wireless network is rebuilt when a mission-critical wireless communication apparatus becomes faulty, then communication can be restored, but a large amount of radio resources and power resources are consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication restorationVSAvoidradio resources and power resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing a standby wireless communication apparatus that maintains synchronization with the active apparatus before failure occurs. The standby apparatus continuously receives and stores system information including identification numbers, radio frequencies, and transmission powers, so that when the active apparatus fails, the standby can immediately take over without requiring resource-intensive network rebuilding procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies copying by creating a redundant standby wireless communication apparatus that maintains copies of all essential system information from the active apparatus. The standby apparatus receives and stores copies of identification numbers, radio frequencies, transmission powers, and other coupling information, enabling seamless takeover without requiring the network to exchange large numbers of communication packets to re-establish these parameters

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If the wireless network is rebuilt when a mission-critical wireless communication apparatus becomes faulty, then communication can be restored, but the load on the wireless network and apparatuses increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

AI summary

Provided are a wireless communication apparatus, a system and a method that are suitable for establishing steady communication by using a redundant configuration. The wireless communication apparatus includes a plurality of devices that transmit and receive data through a wireless network. The devices each include a control section and a decision section. The decision section in one of the devices designates a first device from among the devices as a first valid device, and designates a second device as a second valid device. The control section in the first device copies to the second device the data and coupling information for transmitting and receiving the data. When the second device is determined to valid, the control section in the second device transmits the copied data from the second device.
