Here, the operation state response signal may be characterized by including the operation state information of each component of the wireless transceiver.
Here, each component of the wireless transceiver includes an RF module unit for converting input data into the wireless data, an antenna unit for transmitting and receiving the wireless data with the terminal and an operation state response generating unit for generating the operation state response signal. It may be characterized by.
The method may further include determining that an operation of the wireless transceiver corresponding to the case where the operation state response signal is not received for a predetermined time or longer is abnormal.
Here, after the determination, the second step generates a modem control signal for controlling the modem unit and an operation selection signal for activating the wireless transceiver in normal operation, and outputs the modem control signal to the modem unit and outputs the operation selection signal. May be output to the wireless transceiver.
Here, the modem control signal is a signal for controlling the overall operation of the modem unit, the modem unit may receive the modem control signal to operate and transmit the data only to the wireless transmission and reception unit in the normal operation selected. .
Here, the wireless transceiver may receive and receive data from the modem unit and convert the wireless data into the wireless data only when the operation selection signal is input.
Here, the operation state monitoring and modem control unit further comprises the step of performing the operation of controlling the switching operation of the plurality of radio transceivers by periodically determining the operation state of each of the plurality of radio transceivers. can do.
According to the present invention, since the modem unit is controlled to periodically monitor the plurality of radio transceivers and use only the radio transceivers in normal operation, there is an effect of preventing the loss of data through the radio transceivers in abnormal operation.
In addition, since the data is transmitted and received by performing the transfer function using only the wireless transceiver that is operating normally, there is an effect of using the communication time efficiently.

The operation state monitoring and modem control unit generates an operation state monitoring signal and periodically outputs it to the wireless transceiver (S410).
Here, the period refers to a period for checking whether the wireless transceiver performs normal operation before performing the transfer function during the normal transfer function. For example, it can be several seconds apart or tens to hours.
When the wireless transceiver receives the operation state monitoring signal, the wireless transceiver generates an operation state response signal including information on the operation state of each component of the wireless transceiver and transmits the operation state monitoring and the modem controller (S420).
The wireless transceiver includes an operation state
Thereafter, the operation state monitoring and modem control unit receives an operation state response signal to determine whether each of the plurality of wireless transmissions and receptions is operating normally (S430).
The method of determining the normal operation of the wireless transceiver is as follows.
The operation state monitoring and modem control unit may analyze the operation state response signal to determine an operation state of the wireless transceiver, and when the operation state response signal corresponding to the operation state monitoring signal is not received for a predetermined time, the operation state response signal may be determined. The wireless transceiver that did not receive it is determined to be abnormal.
The operation state monitoring and modem control unit deactivates the corresponding wireless transceiver when there is a wireless transceiver determined to be in an abnormal state (S440).
The operation state monitoring and modem control unit selects only the wireless transceiver that is determined to be in a normal state to perform a computational switching function, and controls the modem unit so as not to transmit data to the wireless transceiver that is determined to be abnormal (S440).
That is, only the wireless transceiver that is in normal operation is selected to control transmission and reception of data with the modem unit.
For example, when two wireless transceivers are present, if one wireless transceiver is determined to be in an abnormal state, the operation state monitoring and modem controller deactivates the wireless transceiver that is determined to be in an abnormal state and the other wireless transceiver is determined to be in a normal operation state. By generating a selection control signal and a modem control signal for selecting only, the modem unit controls to transmit and receive data only with a wireless transceiver unit in which the normal operation is performed.
Here, the selection control signal is a signal for enabling the operation of the wireless transceiver that performs the settlement operation. Only the wireless transceiver to which the selection control signal is input is activated to perform normal operation, or the selection control signal is disabled. The wireless transceiver to which the selection control signal is input as a) signal may be deactivated so as not to operate.
Here, the modem control signal is a signal for controlling the overall operation of the modem unit, and the modem unit receives the modem control signal and operates to transmit data only to the selected wireless transceiver which is operating normally.
Although the above has been described with reference to embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may variously modify the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the claims below. And can be changed.
