MESSAGE RELAY APPARATUS, ONBOARD APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, MESSAGE RELAY METHOD AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18280844 titled 'MESSAGE RELAY APPARATUS, ONBOARD APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, MESSAGE RELAY METHOD AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a message relay apparatus that includes multiple antennas with different directivities to receive and transmit messages between mobile devices based on setting information defining the relationship between distribution request areas and selected antennas.
- The apparatus includes a first antenna with directivity in one direction and a second antenna with directivity in a different direction.
- A reception part receives messages from a first mobile body directed to a second mobile body, including distribution request area information.
- An antenna selection part chooses an antenna (either the first or second) based on setting information related to the distribution request area indicated in the message.
- A transmission part then sends the message using the selected antenna.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Mobile communication systems
- Internet of Things (IoT) networks
- Wireless sensor networks
Problems Solved
This technology solves issues related to:
- Efficient message relay in wireless communication
- Optimal antenna selection for message transmission
- Improved signal reception in different directions
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Enhanced message delivery reliability
- Increased network efficiency
- Better utilization of antenna resources
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include:
- Telecommunication companies
- IoT device manufacturers
- Wireless network providers
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be:
- Antenna selection algorithms in wireless communication systems
What are the specific criteria used to select the antenna for message transmission in this apparatus?
The specific criteria used to select the antenna for message transmission in this apparatus are based on the setting information defining the relationship between the distribution request area indicated in the message and the antennas available (first and second).
How does this technology improve message relay efficiency compared to traditional methods?
This technology improves message relay efficiency by selecting the most suitable antenna based on the distribution request area information, ensuring optimal signal reception and transmission for improved communication reliability.
Original Abstract Submitted
A message relay apparatus includes: a first antenna that has a directivity in a first direction; a second antenna that has a directivity in a second direction different from the first direction; a reception part that can receive a message from a first mobile body, the message being directed to a second mobile body and including distribution request area information; an antenna selection part that selects a selection antenna from the first antenna and the second antenna on a basis of setting information, the setting information defining a relationship between a distribution request area indicated in the distribution request area information and an antenna to be selected as the selection antenna; and a transmission part that transmits the message received by the reception part using the selection antenna.
