Method for operating a short haul radio transmitting/radio receiving system conforming to a short haul radio communication standard and a master device for implementing said method
View Patent ↗A method and apparatus for operating a short-haul radio transmitting/radio receiving system conforming to a short-haul radio communication standard wherein a maximum number of devices able to communicate is exceeded. The devices exceeding the maximum number of devices communicating with a master device are switched to a park mode and, continually in keeping with a predefined strategy, parked devices are switched to active while active devices are switched to parked.
1. A method for operating a short haul radio transmitting/radio receiving system comprising:
determining a maximum number of devices that may communicate with a master device;
determining devices present that exceed the maximum number;
switching devices that exceed the maximum number to a park mode;
switching the parked devices exceeding the maximum number into an active mode, according to a predefined strategy;
continually switching active devices into a park mode according to the predefined strategy; and
switching at least one further device, in addition to a minimum number of devices switched to the park mode, from an active mode device to a park mode.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the predefined strategy is based on timeslices that are cyclically assigned to the individual devices.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the predefined strategy is based on priority criteria according to which a dynamically changeable sequence of devices is specified in which the parked devices are switched to the active mode.
4. The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the data rate of the individual devices is used as the priority criterion.
5. The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the predefined strategy further comprises a timeslice assignment cyclically assigned to each device that is combined with the priority criteria.
