COMMUNICATION TERMINAL, SIGNAL CONTROL APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR COMMUNICATION TERMINAL, AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18284632 titled 'COMMUNICATION TERMINAL, SIGNAL CONTROL APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR COMMUNICATION TERMINAL, AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM

The patent application describes a communication terminal that can select between two antennas to communicate wirelessly with a base station, based on traffic flow detection on intersecting roads.

  • The communication terminal includes a communication part for selecting between a first antenna and a second antenna.
  • The first antenna is installed across a first road, while the second antenna is installed across a second road intersecting the first road.
  • A traffic flow detection part detects traffic flow on at least one of the roads.
  • A selection part chooses which antenna to connect to based on the traffic flow.

Potential Applications: - Traffic management systems - Smart city infrastructure - Wireless communication technology

Problems Solved: - Efficient antenna selection based on real-time traffic conditions - Improved communication reliability in dynamic environments

Benefits: - Enhanced communication performance - Optimal antenna usage for better signal strength - Adaptive system for changing traffic patterns

Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Traffic Communication Systems for Urban Environments" This technology can be used in smart traffic management systems for cities to improve communication reliability and efficiency in dynamic traffic conditions.

Prior Art: Research on dynamic antenna selection based on environmental factors and traffic conditions in wireless communication systems.

Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing studies on intelligent antenna selection algorithms for improving wireless communication performance in urban environments.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the communication terminal determine which antenna to connect to based on traffic flow? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in real-world traffic scenarios?


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication terminal includes a communication part for selecting one of a first antenna and a second antenna and for being capable of communicating via a wireless connection with a base station connected to the first antenna and the second antenna, the first antenna being installed at a first location across a first road, the second antenna being installed at a second location across a second road intersecting the first road; a traffic flow detection part for detecting a traffic flow on at least one of the first road and the second road; and a selection part for selecting an antenna to be connected from the first antenna and the second antenna depending on the traffic flow.
