Abstract
Embodiments of this disclosure provide a communication method and device. In the disclosure, when the first device and the second device in the Point-to-Multipoint network communicate with each other, if there is a first channel in inactive state between the two devices, which is active between the second device and the third device, and there is a second channel in inactive state between the second device and the third device, the second channel will be adopted to transmit the signal on the first channel, and then the state of the first channel will be changed to inactive state. After that, the state of the first channel between the first device and the second device will be changed to active state.
Claims27
-26. (canceled)
A second device, comprising:
- a memory for storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors for executing the instructions to cause the second device to perform operations including:
- receiving a first request from a first device, wherein the first request requests a state shift of a first channel between the first device and the second device from an inactive state to an active state;
- transmitting a first signal through a second channel to a third device, when detecting channels between the second device and the third device including the second channel in the inactive state and the first channel in the active state, wherein the first signal is formerly transmitted by the second device to the third device through the first channel;
- and
- communicating with the first device through the first channel, making a state of the first channel between the first device and the second device to be shifted into the active state.
A third device, comprising:
- a memory for storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors for executing the instructions to cause the third device to perform operations including:
- receiving a third instruction from a second device;
- and
- receiving a first signal through a second channel from the second device, and shifting a state of a first channel between the third device and the second device into an inactive state in response to the third instruction, wherein the first signal is formerly transmitted by the second device to the third device through the first channel.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a second device, a first request from a first device, wherein the first request requests a state shift of a first channel between the first device and the second device from an inactive state to an active state;
- transmitting a first signal, by the second device, through a second channel to a third device when detecting channels between the second device and the third device including the second channel in the inactive state and the first channel in the active state, wherein the first signal is formerly transmitted by the second device to the third device through the first channel;
- and
- communicating with the first device, by the second device, through the first channel, making a state of the first channel to be shifted into the active state.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a third instruction, by a third device, from a second device;
- and
- receiving a first signal, by the third device, through a second channel from the second device, and shifting a state of a first channel between the third device and the second device into an inactive state in response to the third instruction, wherein the first signal is formerly transmitted by the second device to the third device through the first channel.
