TRIGGER ASSISTED SYNCHRONIZATION FOR DEVICE-TO-DEVICE DISCOVERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18401222 titled 'TRIGGER ASSISTED SYNCHRONIZATION FOR DEVICE-TO-DEVICE DISCOVERY
The abstract of this patent application describes a method involving wireless communication between devices using multiple radios sharing a clock.
- The method involves receiving a trigger from a second device via a first radio on a first device.
- The trigger includes a timing indication used to determine the timing of operations for a discovery session between the devices.
- Based on the timing indication and the time of reception of the trigger, the method determines the timing of operations for the discovery session.
- The discovery session with the second device is then started based on the determined timing of operations.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in IoT devices for seamless communication and synchronization. - It could also be applied in smart home systems for efficient device discovery and connection.
Problems Solved: - Enables devices to communicate effectively using multiple radios sharing a clock. - Facilitates the synchronization of operations for discovery sessions between devices.
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in wireless communication. - Enhanced synchronization between devices. - Streamlined device discovery and connection processes.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Wireless Communication Method for IoT Devices" This technology could be valuable for companies developing IoT devices, smart home systems, and other wireless communication solutions. It can improve the overall performance and user experience of these products, potentially leading to increased market competitiveness.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the method ensure accurate timing for operations between devices? - The method uses the timing indication in the trigger and the time of reception to determine the timing of operations accurately. 2. What are the key advantages of using multiple radios sharing a clock for wireless communication? - Using multiple radios sharing a clock allows for more efficient communication and synchronization between devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method includes receiving, at a first device via a first radio, a trigger from a second device, the first device configured for wireless communication using multiple radios sharing a clock, the multiple radios comprising the first radio and a second radio, the trigger including a timing indication. The method also includes determining, based on the timing indication in the trigger and a time of reception of the trigger, a timing of one or more operations of a radio of the second device for a discovery session between the first device and the second device. The method further includes starting the discovery session with the second device based on the determined timing of the one or more operations.
