Broadband communications devices and methods operate with at least two separate communication paths between the devices and the network, such as the Internet. The broadband devices and methods receive data concurrently over the communication paths or separately. The bandwidth is increased when the separate communication paths are combined. The broadband devices employ packetized data with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technologies combined with RF communications technologies.

A computer device may include a memory storing instructions and processor configured to execute the instructions to host a network function container that implements a microservice for a network function in a wireless communications network, wherein the network function container is deployed by a container orchestration platform; host a service proxy container associated with the network function container, wherein the service proxy container is deployed by the container orchestration platform; and configure the hosted service proxy container to apply a wireless network policy to the microservice for the network function. The processor may be further configured to intercept messages associated with the microservice for the network function using the configured service proxy container; and apply the wireless network policy to the intercepted messages using the configured service proxy container.

An apparatus includes processing circuitry configured to output a first superframe configured in an initial superframe mode that allocates each slot of a plurality of slots for wireless communication to a first protocol at a first frequency band, a second protocol at the first frequency band, or a third protocol at the first frequency band. The processing circuitry is also configured to output a second superframe configured in a multi-frequency superframe mode that allocates: i) at least one slot of a plurality of slots for wireless communication to the first protocol, the second protocol, or the third protocol at the first frequency band, and ii) at least one slot of the plurality of slots for wireless communication to the first protocol, the second protocol, or the third protocol at the second frequency band.

Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to line-powered wireless communications systems, and more specifically to methods and apparatus for providing persistent and ubiquitous wireless communications and sensor networks in physical premises to enable a wide variety of different applications and use cases.

A method for transmitting audio data, including: determining whether a TWS master device and a TWS slave device have received audio data; sending a first additional packet data to the TWS slave device according to a first determination that the TWS master device has received the audio data, and forwarding the audio data to the TWS slave device according to a second determination that the TWS master device has not received a second additional packet data, turning off a resending time window of the TWS master device; sending the second additional packet data to the TWS master device according to a third determination that the TWS slave device has received the audio data, and forwarding the audio data to the TWS master device according to a fourth determination that the TWS slave device has not received the first additional packet data, and turning off the resending time window of the TWS slave device.

Disclosed is a method for channel switching in a wireless mesh network. The method comprises: any slave node in a wireless mesh network receiving a channel switching command broadcast by a master node to perform channel switching; the slave node determining whether the channel switching is successful; and if successful, searching for the master node or a mesh network containing the master node for networking; otherwise, exiting the current invalid mesh network, and scanning for a mesh network after the channel switching, and joining the detected mesh network. According to the present application, after channel switching is performed, a mesh network for a slave node is automatically configured, thereby making up for the defect of an existing mesh network protocol not supporting switching between different frequency bands, and realizing automatic re-establishment of a mesh connection after the channel switching is successful.

Embodiments of this application provide a Bluetooth connection method, a system, and an electronic device. In the method, when a communication connection between an electronic device and a vehicle head unit is disconnected, the electronic device starts to scan a Bluetooth advertising signal. When a user carrying the electronic device is close to the vehicle head unit, the electronic device may obtain, through scanning, a Bluetooth advertising signal sent by the vehicle head unit. When obtaining, through scanning, the Bluetooth advertising signal sent by the vehicle head unit, the electronic device may start a vehicle manufacturer application when the vehicle manufacturer application is cleared by a system. The electronic device may reconnect to the vehicle head unit through Bluetooth by using the vehicle manufacturer application and a Bluetooth chip. Embodiments of this application can improve convenience of unlocking in a scenario in which a vehicle is insensibly unlocked.

Embodiments of this application relate to the field of communications technologies, and provide an interaction control method and apparatus, a terminal, and a storage medium. The interaction control method includes: acquiring near field communication (NFC) device status information in response to triggering of NFC, where the NFC device status information includes status information of a master device and status information of a slave device; and providing an interactive function corresponding to the acquired NFC device status information according to a preset mapping relationship, and executing the interactive function in response to a trigger condition to realize information exchange between the master device and the slave device.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a voice call method, a system, a chip, an electronic device, and a storage medium. In the present disclosure, the voice call method includes: in response to receiving a voice call request instruction from a second terminal in a process of transmitting a voice call data packet with a first terminal, sending a request for disconnecting synchronous data connection to the first terminal (101); transmitting the voice call data packet to the second terminal (102) after receiving a request for establishing the synchronous data connection sent by the second terminal. In a scenario where there are incoming calls from multiple terminals, data communication load of a Bluetooth chip can be lessened, and power consumption of the Bluetooth chip can be reduced.

Processes, methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for pairing a target device with a source device and pairing the target device with a partner device. A user may choose between using the target device and the partner device without actively connecting the partner device to the source device. The target device and the partner device may each be a specialized device providing certain functions. For example, the source device may be a computing device, such as a smart phone or a tablet computer. The target device may be a sound bar dedicated for playing high definition surround sound that outperforms internal speakers of the source device. And the partner device may be a noise-canceling headset. The user may want to seamlessly switch between playing sounds on the sound bard and the headset from time to time under different circumstances, without needing to manually pair the headset to the computing device.
