DYNAMIC SWITCHING OF BLUETOOTH LE PHY FOR EXTENDED NON-CONNECTABLE ADVERTISEMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18069434 titled 'DYNAMIC SWITCHING OF BLUETOOTH LE PHY FOR EXTENDED NON-CONNECTABLE ADVERTISEMENTS
The patent application describes a system for dynamically switching the BLE PHY (Physical Layer) of a transceiver in a host vehicle between two modes based on trigger parameters.
- The transceiver can operate in a first mode without forward error correction, or in a second mode with forward error correction and enhanced non-line-of-sight performance.
- The TCU (Telematics Control Unit) in the host vehicle is programmed to receive trigger parameters and switch the BLE PHY mode based on trigger conditions being met.
- When the first trigger conditions are met, the BLE PHY transitions from the first mode to the second mode, and vice versa when the second trigger conditions are met.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for improving communication reliability in vehicles. - IoT devices for enhancing connectivity in various applications. - Industrial automation for more robust wireless communication.
Problems Solved: - Addressing the need for flexible and adaptive BLE PHY modes in different scenarios. - Improving communication performance in challenging environments.
Benefits: - Enhanced communication reliability and performance. - Efficient use of power based on the communication requirements. - Adaptability to different operating conditions.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Adaptive BLE PHY Switching Technology for Enhanced Communication" This technology can be utilized in automotive telematics systems, IoT devices, and industrial automation for improved wireless communication capabilities, leading to better overall performance and reliability in various applications.
Questions about BLE PHY Switching Technology: 1. How does dynamic switching of BLE PHY modes benefit the performance of wireless communication systems? - Dynamic switching allows for adaptability to different communication scenarios, improving reliability and performance as needed.
2. What are the key factors that trigger the transition between BLE PHY modes in the system? - Trigger parameters indicating specific conditions prompt the system to switch between modes for optimal communication efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
Dynamic switching of BLE PHY is provided. A host vehicle includes a transceiver configured to operate in a first mode in which the transceiver supports communications without forward error correction or in a second mode in which the transceiver provides forward error correction and enhanced non-line-of-sight (NLOS) performance with higher current usage than in the first mode. The host vehicle further includes a TCU, programmed to receive trigger parameters indicative of whether to dynamically switch the modes of the transceiver, responsive to first trigger conditions being met by the trigger parameters, transition the BLE PHY of the transceiver from the first mode to the second mode, and responsive to second trigger conditions being met by the trigger parameters, transition the BLE PHY of the transceiver from the second mode to the first mode.
