  • Patent number: 11363498
    Abstract: A mesh network flow control method comprising: allocating a receiving window of a certain size between a parent node and each child node; the child node transmitting a window request to the parent node prior to transmitting a packet; upon receipt of the request, the parent node extracting the sequence number of the request of the child node; comparing the sequence number with a sequence number of the packet last received; calculating the size of an available window and replying to the child node with the size; and the child node transmitting the packet according to the size. Another method includes: a root node broadcasting information concerning a connection state between the root node and a server in a management frame of Wi-Fi, such that through information communication within a network, each node within the network can obtain the information, and then devices within the network transmit packets to the root node, thereby avoiding occupancy of bandwidth by unnecessary packet-transmissions.

  • Patent number: 11272470
    Abstract: Provided are a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT), with a transmission and receipt processing method and device for time-frequency synchronization between V2X terminals. When a synchronization signal to be transmitted is identical to a synchronization signal of an existing D2D terminal, time-frequency resources configured for the D2D terminal in a cell are reused to transmit the synchronization signal. When synchronization signal to be transmitted is different from a synchronization signal of an existing D2D terminal, reconfigured time-frequency resources are used to transmit the synchronization signal. The synchronization signal transmitted by a V2X terminal indicates a corresponding synchronization source type by using a value of an SLSS sequence index and/or a value of a PSBCH specified field.
