TRIGGER ASSISTED SYNCHRONIZATION FOR DEVICE-TO-DEVICE DISCOVERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240306102 titled 'TRIGGER ASSISTED SYNCHRONIZATION FOR DEVICE-TO-DEVICE DISCOVERY
The abstract describes a method where a first device receives a trigger from a second device via a first radio, with the trigger containing a timing indication. The method involves determining the timing of operations of a radio of the second device for a discovery session based on the timing indication and the time of reception of the trigger. The discovery session with the second device is then initiated according to the determined timing.
- The method involves wireless communication using multiple radios that share a clock.
- The first device has multiple radios, including the first radio and a second radio.
- The trigger from the second device includes a timing indication.
- The timing of operations of the second device's radio for a discovery session is determined based on the trigger's timing indication and the time of reception.
- The discovery session with the second device is started based on the determined timing of operations.
Potential Applications: - This method can be applied in IoT devices for seamless communication and synchronization. - It can be used in smart home systems for efficient device discovery and connection.
Problems Solved: - Enables precise timing synchronization between devices for effective communication. - Facilitates quick and accurate discovery sessions between devices.
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in wireless communication. - Enhanced synchronization capabilities for connected devices.
Commercial Applications: Title: Wireless Communication Optimization for IoT Devices This technology can be utilized in IoT devices, smart home systems, and industrial automation for streamlined communication and synchronization processes. It can enhance the overall performance and reliability of wireless networks in various commercial applications.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the method ensure accurate timing synchronization between devices? - The method determines the timing of operations based on the trigger's timing indication and the time of reception, ensuring precise synchronization. 2. What are the potential implications of this technology in industrial automation? - This technology can improve communication efficiency and synchronization in industrial automation systems, leading to enhanced productivity and reliability.
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.
