Abstract
A method of providing communication between a wireless mission critical communication link (MCCL) and a wired MCCL, comprising: determining a wireless communication cycle of a primary device coupled to the wireless MCCL; determining a wired communication cycle of a secondary device, wherein the secondary device is coupled via the wired MCCL; receiving a feedback signal from the secondary device over the wired MCCL; synchronizing a start time of the wireless communication cycle to a start of the wired communication cycle; and transmitting the feedback signal over the wireless MCCL to the primary device at an aligned start time of the wired communication cycle.

A method of providing communication between a wireless mission critical communication link (MCCL) and a wired MCCL, comprising:
- determining a wireless communication cycle of a primary device coupled to the wireless MCCL;
- determining a wired communication cycle of a secondary device, wherein the secondary device is coupled via the wired MCCL;
- receiving a feedback signal from the secondary device over the wired MCCL;
- synchronizing a start time of the wireless communication cycle to a start of the wired communication cycle;
- and
- transmitting the feedback signal over the wireless MCCL to the primary device at an aligned start time of the wired communication cycle.
A hub for interfacing between a wireless mission critical communication link (MCCL) and a wired MCCL, comprising:
- a wired interface a providing a physical layer connectivity to the wired MCCL;
- a plurality of ports coupled to the wired interface;
- a wireless interface providing a physical layer connectivity to the wireless MCCL;
- and
- processing circuitry;
- and
- a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the hub to:
- determine a wireless communication cycle of a primary device coupled to the wireless MCCL;
- determine a wired communication cycle of a secondary device, wherein the secondary device is coupled via one of the plurality of ports to the wired MCCL;
- receive a feedback signal from the secondary device over the wired MCCL;
- synchronize a start time of the wireless communication cycle to a start of the wired communication cycle;
- and
- transmit the feedback signal over the wireless MCCL to the primary device at an aligned start time of the wired communication cycle.
