Abstract
Techniques for wireless communications are described. In an example embodiment, a method of configuring wireless communication between two devices comprises using two different communication channels each having a different number of timeslots, in which the first channel is used in a first mode, the second channel is used in the second mode, and operation transitions between the first mode and the second mode in accordance with a predetermined characteristic corresponding to the communication between the two devices.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- configuring a first device to establish first and second wireless communication channels with a second device, the first and second communication channels comprising different numbers of timeslots;
- configuring the first device to communicate using the first communication channel in a first mode of operation;
- configuring the first device to communicate using the second communication channel in a second mode of operation;
- and
- configuring the first device to transition from the first mode of operation to the second mode of operation in accordance with at least one predetermined characteristic corresponding to communication between the first device and the second device.
2 more elements
A device comprising:
- a first protocol control section configured to communicate as a slave with a multi-mode master device using a multi-mode radio in a first operating mode of the device;
- a second protocol control section configured to communicate as the slave with the multi-mode master device using the multi-mode radio in a second operating mode of the device;
- and
- a mode switch control section coupled to the first and second protocol control sections for dynamically switching operations between the first mode and the second mode according to at least one predetermined characteristic corresponding to communication between the device and the multi-mode master device.
1 more element
A device comprising:
- a first protocol control section configured to communicate as a master with a multi-mode slave device using a multi-mode radio in a first operating mode of the device;
- a second protocol control section configured to communicate as the master with the multi-mode slave device using the multi-mode radio in a second operating mode of the device;
- and
- a mode switch control section coupled to the first and second protocol control sections for dynamically switching operations between the first mode and the second mode according to one or more predetermined characteristics corresponding to communication between the device and the multi-mode slave device.
