  • Publication number: 20220391339
    Abstract: A control method and device for bidirectional communication are provided. A handshake between the master and slave communication units is realized by sending the training sequence. The master communication unit is controlled to obtain control information from the ECU. The control information is packaged into the custom package, and the custom package is encoded. The master communication unit is controlled to send the custom package to the slave communication unit. The slave communication unit decodes, verifies and corrects the custom package. The slave communication unit feeds back the correct message to the master communication unit if the custom package is verified to be correct, else feeds back the error message to the master communication unit. The master communication unit resends the custom package to the slave communication unit if it receives the error information or does not receive any feedback information within the preset time period.

  • Patent number: 11515987
    Abstract: A method pertaining to leftover bits processing for proportional round-robin resource unit (RU) parsing in extreme high-throughput (EHT) systems involves processing a stream of bits to provide processed bits. The method also involves transmitting the processed bits to a station (STA) over a combination of multiple resource units (RUs) assigned to the STA. In processing the stream of bits, the method may involve parsing the stream of bits to the combination of multiple RUs. Moreover, in an event of leftover bits remaining from the parsing, the method may further involve distributing the leftover bits to one or more RUs but not all RUs of the combination of multiple RUs.
