  • Responder device binding in a wireless system
    Patent number: 9955407
    Abstract: A wireless system (10) comprises an initiator device (11) and a plurality of responder devices (15-18) which can bind with the initiator device (11). The method comprises, at one of the plurality of responder devices, receiving (101) a discovery request from the initiator device and forming a discovery response and sending the discovery response to the initiator device. The step of forming a discovery response comprises: collecting (102) at least two parameters indicative of the initiator device wanting to bind with the responder device; computing (103) a score using the at least two parameters, the score being indicative of a likelihood of the initiator device wanting to bind with the responder device; and including (104) the score as an element of the discovery response.
