Abstract: A method for controlling an air conditioner system may include receiving, by one of an outdoor unit and a plurality of indoor units in a group, a command; transmitting, by the outdoor unit, a channel scan command to the plurality of indoor units; performing a channel scan by each of the outdoor unit and the plurality of indoor units; transmitting, by the plurality of indoor units, channel scan results to the outdoor unit; determining, by the outdoor unit, a channel to be used among a plurality of pre-set channels of a particular group based on a result of the channel scan performed by the outdoor unit and the channel scan results received from the plurality of indoor units; and outputting, by the outdoor unit, information on the channel to the plurality of indoor units. According to this method, an optimal wireless communication channel may be set.

Abstract: A method for controlling an air conditioner system may include a preset reception rate degradation error occurs in one or more indoor unit, transmitting a channel switch request signal to an outdoor unit belonging to a particular group; performing a channel scan by each of the outdoor unit and the plurality of indoor units; transmitting, by the plurality of indoor units, channel scan results to the outdoor unit; determining, by the outdoor unit, a channel to be used by the particular group based on a result of a channel scan performed by the outdoor unit and the channel scan results received from the plurality of indoor units; and outputting, by the outdoor unit, information on the channel to the plurality of indoor units. Accordingly, the communication channel may be changed to an optimal communication channel according to a change a communication environment.

Abstract: Disclosed is an air conditioner system comprising at least one outdoor unit and a plurality of indoor units. The plurality of units may be grouped into one or more groups. A wireless communication module may be provided at each of the plurality of units and configured to perform wireless communication using a Sub-GHz frequency band. The wireless communication module may include an encoder configured to encode a predetermined signal, a modulator configured to modulate the encoded signal according to Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) using multiple subcarriers, at least one antenna having an antenna pattern formed on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), and configured to output a signal based on the modulated signal, a demodulator configured to demodulate a signal received at the at least one antenna, according to the OFDM, and a decoder configured to decode the demodulated signal. Accordingly, a high-quality wireless communication environment may be implemented.
