Abstract
A communication circuit includes network formation circuitry configured to establish a wireless network between a primary wireless transceiver and a secondary wireless transceiver. The communication circuit also includes data transfer circuitry configured to perform data transfers between the primary wireless transceiver and the secondary wireless transceiver. The communication circuit further includes resynchronization circuitry configured to resynchronize the secondary wireless transceiver with the established wireless network within a target time interval.
Claims21
A communication circuit comprising:
- network formation circuitry configured to establish a wireless network between a primary wireless transceiver and a secondary wireless transceiver;
- data transfer circuitry configured to perform data transfers between the primary wireless transceiver and the secondary wireless transceiver;
- and
- resynchronization circuitry configured to:
- estimate a number of missed superframes of the established wireless network in response to the secondary wireless transceiver losing synchronization with the established wireless network;
- and
- perform resynchronization of the secondary wireless transceiver with the established wireless network using the estimated number of missed superframes.
A system, comprising:
- a primary wireless transceiver adapted to be coupled to a controller of the system;
- and
- a secondary wireless transceiver adapted to be coupled to a subsystem of the system, wherein the primary wireless transceiver and the secondary wireless transceiver are configured to establish a wireless network, and the secondary wireless transceiver is configured to:
- identify a resynchronization trigger;
- estimate a number of missed superframes of the established wireless network in response to the identified resynchronization trigger;
- and
- perform resynchronization with the established wireless network using the estimated number of missed superframes.
A method performed by a communication circuit between a controller and a subsystem, the method comprising:
- establishing a wireless network with another communication circuit to transfer data between the controller and the subsystem;
- identifying a resynchronization trigger;
- estimating a number of missed superframes of the established wireless network in response to the identified resynchronization trigger;
- and
- performing resynchronization with the established wireless network using the estimated number of missed superframes.
