SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING MOBILE NODE GROUP, AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240317427 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING MOBILE NODE GROUP, AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system to control a group of mobile nodes that fly in formation. The system includes follower and leader mobile nodes, as well as a ground station that communicates wirelessly with the mobile nodes. The leader node collects information on the followers and controls their movements, while the nodes communicate with each other using beamforming or MIMO technology. The leader node uses an on-board processor to control the follower nodes' positions and attitudes for the formation flight.

Questions about Formation Flight Control Systems

What are the key advantages of using beamforming or MIMO technology in wireless communication between mobile nodes?

Using beamforming or MIMO technology allows for improved signal strength, increased data rates, and better reliability in wireless communication between mobile nodes.

How does the leader node in a formation flight control system collect information on follower nodes and manage their movements?

The leader node uses an on-board processor to gather data on follower nodes and send control signals to adjust their positions and attitudes during the formation flight.


Original Abstract Submitted

to control a mobile node group that performs a formation flight, mobile nodes constituting the mobile node group and a ground station that wirelessly communicates with each of the mobile nodes are included. the mobile nodes are classified into a follower mobile node and a leader mobile node that collects information on the follower mobile node and controls the follower mobile node. the mobile nodes wirelessly communicate with one another based on beamforming or mimo. based on an installed on-board processor, the leader mobile node controls the follower mobile node, and the mobile node controls a position or an attitude of the mobile node itself for performing the formation flight. the ground station performs link control of the wireless communication with the mobile node or link control of the wireless communication between the mobile nodes, and control of selecting any ground station that wirelessly communicates with the mobile node.
