Abstract
A method of wireless communication is described. The wireless communication method includes detecting, at a first device requesting to communication with a third device, a low link quality of a first link associated with the first device or the third device, the low link quality being below a link quality threshold; broadcasting, after the detecting the low link quality, a message to discover a second device capable of establishing a second link with the first device or the third device; and communicating with the third device via the second device using the second link.
Claims20
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- detecting, at a first device requesting to communication with a third device, a low link quality of a first link associated with the first device or the third device, the low link quality being below a link quality threshold;
- broadcasting, after the detecting the low link quality, a message to discover a second device capable of establishing a second link with the first device or the third device;
- and
- communicating with the third device via the second device using the second link.
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving, at a first device capable of assisting communications between a second device and a third device, a first message, from the second device, to request to communicate with the third device via the first device;
- measuring a link quality between the second device and the first device and comparing the measured link quality with a link quality threshold;
- and
- broadcasting a second message to the third device based on a result of the comparing of the measured link quality such that the second device engages in a communication with the third device via the first device.
An apparatus of wireless communication, comprising a processor operating as a first device requesting to communicate with a third device and configured to:
- detect, a low link quality of a first link associated with the first device or the third device, the low link quality being below a link quality threshold;
- broadcast, after the detecting the low link quality, a message to discover a second device capable of establishing a second link with the first device or the third device;
- and
- communicate with the third device via the second device using the second link.
