Wireless Connection Scheduling Using PAwR to Skip Idle Exchanges
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wireless devices inefficiently manage periods of activity, leading to unnecessary data exchange operations that increase power consumption and channel usage.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a periodic advertisement period with response assistance (PAwR) to dynamically modify network schedules based on data transmission information, allowing the primary device to skip unnecessary data exchange operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional wireless devices perform scheduled data exchange operations to manage activity periods, then connection reliability is maintained, but power consumption increases due to unnecessary data exchanges
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by transmitting data transmission information during the advertisement period before the actual data exchange period. This allows the primary device to advance-know which secondary devices have data to transmit, enabling it to skip unnecessary wake-ups and data exchange operations for devices with no data, thus reducing power consumption while maintaining connection reliability.
2Reliability
If conventional wireless devices execute all scheduled data exchange operations, then data transmission completeness is ensured, but wireless channel usage increases due to redundant transmissions
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and utilizes data transmission information from secondary devices during the advertisement period. This information is then used to identify and eliminate redundant data exchange operations in the subsequent data exchange period, removing only the unnecessary transmissions while preserving all essential data communications.
3Stability of the object's composition
If wireless devices follow fixed negotiated schedules for data exchanges, then connection stability is maintained, but adaptability to actual data transmission needs decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces dynamics by allowing the data exchange schedule to be adaptively adjusted based on actual data transmission needs. While the overall connection framework remains stable, the specific data exchange operations become dynamic - the primary device can skip anchor points for devices with no data and proceed directly to devices that have data to transmit, making the system responsive to real-time conditions.

AI summary
Systems, methods, and devices provide wireless connection and power management for wireless devices. Methods include receiving data transmission information during an advertisement period via at least one advertisement response data packets, and determining, using one or more processors of a primary wireless device, if any of a plurality of secondary wireless devices has data to transmit during an upcoming data exchange period, the determining being based on the data transmission information. Methods further include updating, using the one or more processors, a network schedule based on a result of the determining, the updating comprising skipping data exchange operations for at least one of the plurality of secondary wireless devices, and performing, using the one or more processors, data exchange operations using the updated network schedule.
