Distributed Antenna Firmware Update Management

The patent merges multiple individual firmware update operations into a single batch update process. The server groups multiple devices into a batch and transmits firmware updates to all devices in the batch simultaneously through a coordinated multi-device update mechanism, reducing the total update time while maintaining completeness through batch-level acknowledgment and retry logic.

The patent implements preliminary actions by pre-packaging firmware updates into batch groups before transmission. The server prepares update batches in advance, organizes devices into update groups, and sequences the update transmission to optimize the overall update process efficiency while ensuring all devices receive their required updates.

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that manages the complexity of batch firmware updates. The server handles device grouping, update coordination, transmission scheduling, and acknowledgment tracking, thereby maintaining update accuracy while reducing operational complexity at the device level by centralizing control functions.

The patent implements a universal batch update mechanism that can handle multiple devices simultaneously through a single update process. The system uses standardized protocols and data structures that work across different device types, allowing the same batch update framework to manage heterogeneous devices without requiring device-specific update procedures.
