Method of near real-time band jamming prevention
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a method of near real-time band jamming prevention, which provides a vehicle controller with the ability of examining autonomously the communication band between itself and a remote guidance and control apparatus, so that the vehicle controller can judge the jamming extent suffered by the communication band between the vehicle controller and the remote guidance and control apparatus. Thereby, the vehicle controller can execute corresponding actions in accordance with the judgment result of the method of near real-time band jamming prevention according to the present invention. In particular, when multiple vehicles operate synchronously and operators of the vehicles have no time to handle at the same time, the method of near real-time band jamming prevention according to the present invention provides the vehicle controllers with the ability of judging autonomously the communication band with preferred received signal strength intensity. Thereby, the channel for data link between the vehicle controller and the remote guidance and control apparatus is maintained normally and continuously.
