Abstract
In situations in which a given communication device may be a slave node on multiple communication sub-networks, a communication resource of the communication device may be allocated so as to serve the various sub-networks according to a device-centric control protocol.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- providing a queue of communication links on which a device is a slave node;
- and
- allocating a communication resource of said device to a link to be selected from said queue, said link to be selected such that at least one condition selected from the following group is met:
- (a) a remote master device expects said device to be listening on said link;
- and
- (b) said device expects to be polled by a remote master device on said link.
3 more elements
A machine-accessible medium that provides instructions, which when executed by a computing platform, cause said computing platform to perform operations comprising:
- providing a queue of communication links on which a device including said computing platform is a slave node;
- and
- allocating a communication resource of said device to a link to be selected from said queue, said link to be selected such that at least one condition selected from the following group is met:
- (a) a remote master device expects said device to be listening on said link;
- and
- (b) said device expects to be polled by a remote master device on said link.
3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one machine-accessible medium coupled to said at least one processor;
- said apparatus to perform a method comprising:
- providing a queue of communication links on which said apparatus is a slave node;
- and
- allocating a communication resource of said apparatus to a link to be selected from said queue, said link to be selected such that at least one condition selected from the following group is met:
- (a) a remote master device expects said apparatus to be listening on said link;
- and
- (b) said apparatus expects to be polled by a remote master device on said link.
7 more elements
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- at least one machine-accessible medium coupled to said at least one processor;
- and
- at least one communication device coupled to said at least one processor;
- and
- at least one antenna coupled to said at least one communication device;
- said apparatus to perform a method comprising:
- providing a queue of communication links on which said system is a slave node;
- and
- allocating a communication device of said system to a link to be selected from said queue, said link to be selected such that at least one condition selected from the following group is met:
- (a) a remote master device expects said system to be listening on said link;
- and
- (b) said system expects to be polled by a remote master device on said link.
