Abstract
The disclosure relates to systems and methods for controlling a delay probability distribution associated with receiving a response to a page. The method entails performing a series of page operations, wherein each page operation entails transmitting a page and scanning for a page response. The method further entails adjusting at least one timing parameter associated with performing the series of page operations based on a characteristic of one or more scans for the page performed by the at least one remote device. The characteristic may be the period of periodic page scans performed by the at least one remote device.
Claims52
A method of controlling a delay distribution associated with receiving a response to a page, comprising:
- performing a series of page operations, wherein each page operation comprises transmitting a page and scanning for a page response;
- and
- adjusting at least one timing parameter associated with performing the series of page operations based on a characteristic of one or more scans for the page performed by at least one remote device.
An apparatus for controlling a delay distribution associated with receiving a response to a page, comprising:
- a page operation module configured to:
- perform a series of page operations, wherein each page operation comprises a transmission of a page and a scan for a page response;
- and
- adjust at least one timing parameter associated with the series of page operations based on a characteristic of one or more scans for the page performed by at least one remote device;
- a transmitter configured to transmit the page to the at least one remote device;
- and
- a receiver configured to scan for the page response from the at least one remote device.
An apparatus for controlling a delay distribution associated with receiving a response to a page, comprising:
- means for performing a series of page operations, wherein each page operation comprises transmitting a page and scanning for a page response;
- means for adjusting at least one timing parameter associated with performing the series of page operations based on a characteristic of one or more scans for the page performed by at least one remote device;
- means for transmitting the page to the at least one remote device;
- and
- means for receiving the page response from the at least one remote device.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer-readable storage medium encoded with codes executable by a processor to:
- perform a series of page operations, wherein each page operation comprises transmitting a page and scanning for a page response;
- and
- adjust at least one timing parameter associated with performing the series of page operations based on a characteristic of one or more scans for the page performed by at least one remote device.
A headset, comprising:
- a page operation module configured to:
- perform a series of page operations, wherein each page operation comprises a transmission of a page and a scan for a page response;
- and
- adjust at least one timing parameter associated with the series of page operations based on a characteristic of one or more scans for the page performed by at least one remote device;
- a transmitter configured to transmit the page to the at least one remote device;
- a receiver configured to scan for the page response from the at least one remote device;
- and
- a transducer configured to generate sound based on data received from the at least one remote device.
A watch, comprising:
- a page operation module configured to:
- perform a series of page operations, wherein each page operation comprises a transmission of a page and a scan for a page response;
- and
- adjust at least one timing parameter associated with the series of page operations based on a characteristic of one or more scans for the page performed by at least one remote device;
- a transmitter configured to transmit the page to the at least one remote device;
- a receiver configured to scan for the page response from the at least one remote device;
- and
- a user interface configured to generate an indication based on data received from the at least one remote device.
A sensing device, comprising:
- a page operation module configured to:
- perform a series of page operations, wherein each page operation comprises a transmission of a page and a scan for a page response;
- and
- adjust at least one timing parameter associated with the series of page operations based on a characteristic of one or more scans for the page performed by at least one remote device;
- a transmitter configured to transmit the page to the at least one remote device;
- a receiver configured to scan for the page response from the at least one remote device;
- and
- a sensor configured to generate data for transmission to the at least one remote device.
