ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SYNCHRONIZATION IN D2D COMMUNICATION ENVIRONMENT AND METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18161354 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SYNCHRONIZATION IN D2D COMMUNICATION ENVIRONMENT AND METHOD THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that includes a communication circuit, memory, and processor. The processor is capable of detecting an event for transmitting a synchronization signal in a device-to-device (D2D) mode. It starts a timer and transmits the synchronization signal at a specified timing during a first time period. If the synchronization signal and a valid data packet are not received by the time the timer expires, the device attempts to receive a synchronization signal at the designated timing during a second time period after the timer has expired.
- The electronic device has a communication circuit, memory, and processor.
- The processor can detect an event for transmitting a synchronization signal in a device-to-device (D2D) mode.
- It starts a timer and transmits the synchronization signal at a specified timing during a first time period.
- If the synchronization signal and a valid data packet are not received before the timer expires, the device attempts to receive a synchronization signal at the designated timing during a second time period after the timer has expired.
Potential Applications
- Wireless communication devices
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Mobile devices
Problems Solved
- Ensures synchronization between devices in a D2D mode
- Improves reliability of data transmission
Benefits
- Efficient synchronization in device-to-device communication
- Enhanced reliability of data transmission
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication circuit, a memory, and a processor operatively connected to the communication circuit and the memory, wherein the processor may be configured to detect an event for transmission of a synchronization signal in a device-to-device (D2D) mode, start a first timer stored in the memory, transmit a synchronization signal at a specified first timing during a first time period during which the first timer operates, and attempt to receive a synchronization signal at a specified second timing during the first time period, sense that a synchronization signal and a valid data packet have not been received by the time that the first timer expires, and attempt to receive a synchronization signal at a timing corresponding to the designated first timing during the second time period after the first timer has expired.
