COMMUNICATION METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17959343 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
Abstract: The patent application describes a communication method and apparatus that improves communication reliability by obtaining high-precision time information. A terminal device determines that a second network device has more precise time information than the first network device based on received information. The terminal device then obtains the high-precision time information of the second network device to enhance communication reliability.
Bullet Points:
- Communication method and apparatus for improved communication reliability
- Terminal device determines if a second network device has more precise time information than the first network device
- First information received from the first network device is used to make the determination
- High-precision time information of the second network device is obtained by the terminal device
- Obtaining high-precision time information helps enhance communication reliability
Potential Applications:
- Telecommunications networks
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Industrial automation systems
- Financial trading platforms
- Real-time communication systems
Problems Solved:
- Inaccurate time synchronization between network devices
- Communication reliability issues due to imprecise time information
- Delay and synchronization errors in time-sensitive applications
Benefits:
- Improved communication reliability
- Enhanced accuracy in time-sensitive applications
- Reduced delay and synchronization errors
- Better performance in real-time systems
Original Abstract Submitted
A communication method and apparatus. A terminal device determines, based on first information received from a first network device, that a second network device has first time information, where the first time information is time information having precision that is higher than precision of second time information of the first network device. The terminal device obtains the first time information of the second network device based on the first information. The terminal device obtains high-precision time information to improve communication reliability.
