MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631014689 A) filed by National Institute Of Technology, Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, on Feb. 10, for 'a system and method for solar-driven edge-cloud collaboration in autonomous vehicles utilizing quantum-inspired multi-objective optimization.'
Inventor(s) include Mrs. Mamta Kumari; Dr. Mayukh Sarkar; Mr. Rohit Kumar Nonia; Dr. Dilip Kumar Shaw; Dr. Subrata Dutta; Dr. Amit Majumder; and Prof. Danish Ali Khan.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a system (100) and method for solar-driven edge-cloud collaboration in autonomous vehicles (AVs). The system integrates roof-mounted photovoltaic (PV) arrays (102) divided into multiple tilted tiles (102a) with dynamic orientation and shading detection (102b) to generate real-time solar power using continuous solar geometry and irradiance estimation. A maximum power point tracking and DC/DC converter unit (106) optimizes power extraction from each tile (102a), while a battery management system (108) forecasts available energy and ensures safe battery operation. A network interface (110) connects the AV (104) with mobile edge computing-enabled roadside units (112) and a cloud server (114), enabling adaptive data rate computation. A computation delay calculator (116) and energy consumption estimator (118) evaluate local, edge, and cloud execution options. A central computing unit (120) employs a solar-aware multi-population quantum state optimizer (122) to select optimal task offloading decisions enforced by a task dispatcher (126)."
