Abstract
A method and apparatus are applicable to a first node in a power line communication (PLC) system including at least three nodes. The at least three nodes are in a full-duplex working mode. The method includes the first node receives first information from a second node, where the second node is any node in the at least three nodes other than the first node. The first node determines, based on a priority of the second node and/or a priority of the first information, whether to interrupt transmission of second information, where the second information is information currently transmitted by the first node.
Claims20
A power line communication (PLC) method, applied to a first node in a PLC system comprising at least three nodes, wherein the at least three nodes are in a full-duplex working mode, and wherein the method comprises:
- transmitting, by the first node, first information;
- receiving, by the first node and from a second node, second information, wherein the second node is any node in the at least three nodes other than the first node;
- and
- interrupting, by the first node and based on a first priority of the second node or a second a priority of the second information, transmission of the first information.
A power line communication (PLC) apparatus, comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to:
- transmit first information;
- receive, from a second node, second information, wherein the second node is any node in at least three nodes other than a first node;
- and
- interrupt, based on a first priority of the second node or a second a priority of the second information, transmission of the first information.
A computer program product comprising instructions that are stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a power line communication (PLC) apparatus to:
- transmit first information;
- receive, from a second node, second information, wherein the second node is any node in at least three nodes other than a first node;
- and
- interrupt, based on a first priority of the second node or a second priority of the second information, transmission of the first information.
