  • Method and system for reducing timing uncertainty of data transmission and reception
    Patent number: 8787349
    Abstract: In accordance with the present disclosure, disadvantages and problems associated with timing accuracies of higher data rate communications systems may be reduced. In accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure a wireless communication element comprises a first controller configured to generate data transfer information indicating a trigger value. The wireless communication element further comprises a second controller communicatively coupled to the first controller. The second controller comprises a counter configured to increment a counter value and is configured to receive the data transfer information from the first controller. The second controller is further configured to generate a data transfer trigger when the counter value corresponds with the trigger value such that the wireless communication element initiates a data transfer with a second wireless communication element in response to the data transfer trigger.
