DATA POLLING FOR ENHANCED COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN ELECTRONIC DEVICES

원문 (중국어)

The subject technology provides for data polling for electronic devices. An apparatus may initiate, based on a wakeup event, a data poll message that includes timing information indicating a time window during which the apparatus expects a data transmission associated with a first wireless communication protocol. The apparatus may provide for transmission, to a parent device, the data poll message. The apparatus may receive, from the parent device, an acknowledgement message indicating whether data is available for transmission to the apparatus. The apparatus may monitor for a data transmission associated with the first wireless communication protocol during at least a portion of the time window based on the acknowledgment message indicating that data is available for transmission to the apparatus. By indicating the time that an end device is available for data reception, the reliability of transmissions in a mesh network is increased.
