  • Publication number: 20210126741
    Abstract: This application provide a retransmission control method, a communications interface, and an electronic device. When a transmit end transmits a first data packet to a receive end and does not receive an acknowledgement corresponding to the first data packet within a first RTO, the transmit end retransmits a second data packet based on a second RTO. The second data packet is a data packet transmitted by the transmit end after the transmit end transmits the first data packet. The second RTO is related to a receive timestamp of the acknowledgement corresponding to the first data packet and a transmit timestamp of the first data packet.

  • Patent number: 10906581
    Abstract: Technical solutions are described herein for steer-by-wire (SBW) steering systems to detect a rack-limiting condition and generate feedback signal that can provide responsive handwheel torque for a driver. According to one or more embodiments the steer-by-wire steering system includes a processor that receives input signals comprising a handwheel velocity signal and a vehicle speed signal. The processor determines a simulated left end stop position of a rack based on the input signals, and a simulated right end stop position of a rack based on the input signals. The processor compares a rack position with the simulated left end stop position and the simulated right end stop position. The processor generates a feedback signal based on a determination that the rack position is not within a range bound by the left end stop position and the right end stop position.

    Abstract: A data transmission method and related apparatuses are disclosed. A sanding node transmits a plurality of data packets to a receiving node at an initial transmission rate. Each data packet carries a random sequence number and a rolling sequence number. The random sequence number identifies a data part of the data packet, and the rolling sequence number indicates a transmission sequence of the data packet. The sending node receives a packet loss feedback from the receiving node. The packet loss feedback is generated after the receiving node detects a packet loss event according to rolling sequence numbers of received data packets. The sending node determines a random sequence number of a lost data packet based on the received packet loss feedback. The sending node transmits a replacement data packet to the receiving node. The replacement data packet carries a different rolling sequence number.
