Zone Controller Wireless Node Relational Structure Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless node systems fail to establish a relational structure that accurately meets the needs of a specific area due to the inability to determine relation levels among equipment controllers and sensors, leading to inefficient automatic connection and requiring extensive manual fine-tuning.
Innovation Solution
A zone controller receives relational structure information, classifies sub-relational structure information, performs optimized searches, and establishes sub-relational structures for each type of wireless node, ensuring the highest relation levels are connected first, thereby automating the connection process and reducing the need for manual configuration.

1Speed
If automatic connection is implemented without relation level calculation, then connection speed is improved, but connection accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary calculation of relation levels among wireless nodes before establishing connections. The zone controller calculates relation levels between the zone controller and equipment controllers, and between equipment controllers and sensors, based on positional information. This preliminary calculation ensures that connections are established in the correct hierarchical order (zone controller → equipment controller → sensor), thereby maintaining connection accuracy while still enabling automatic connection without manual intervention.
2Manufacturing precision
If manual fine-tuning is performed after automatic connection, then connection accuracy is improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables wireless nodes to automatically establish correct relational structures through self-service mechanisms. Each wireless node calculates its own relation level with other nodes and automatically connects to nodes with higher relation levels. The zone controller orchestrates this process by providing positional information and receiving connection status updates, but does not require manual intervention. This self-service approach achieves both high connection accuracy and time efficiency by eliminating the need for manual fine-tuning while ensuring proper hierarchical connections.
3Manufacturing precision
If relation levels are calculated for all wireless nodes, then connection accuracy is improved, but calculation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the calculation of relation levels into distinct hierarchical stages. First, the zone controller calculates relation levels between itself and equipment controllers based on positional information. Second, each equipment controller calculates its relation level with sensors. This segmentation avoids the need for every node to calculate relation levels with every other node simultaneously, thereby reducing overall calculation complexity while maintaining connection accuracy through systematic hierarchical evaluation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies local quality by having each wireless node calculate relation levels only with its immediate neighboring nodes in the hierarchical structure, rather than with all nodes in the network. The zone controller focuses on calculating relation levels with equipment controllers, while equipment controllers focus on calculating relation levels with sensors. This localized calculation approach reduces computational complexity for each individual node while ensuring overall connection accuracy through the cumulative effect of local calculations.

AI summary
An optimizing method for a relational structure is presented. Firstly, a zone controller (ZC) receives a relational structure information related to a located zone and executes a classification for multiple sub-relational structure information thereof. The ZC then executes searching and calculation respectively based on different types of the sub-relational structure information, and receives multiple optimum solutions for each type of the sub-relational structure information respectively. Finally, the ZC establishes different types of sub-relational structures based on the multiple optimum solutions, wherein each sub-relational structure comprises at least one wireless node of the located zone, and connects with the multiple sub-relational structures for establishing the relational structure.
