A multi-radio border router for synchronizing communications of multiple border router radios is provided. For example, the border router includes a border router component connected to each of the plurality of border router radios. The border router component configured for selecting one of the plurality of border router radios as a master radio and assigning channel offset parameters for each of the plurality of border router radios. The master radio is configured for broadcasting synchronization beacons based on which the non-master radios synchronize their respective clocks with that of the master radio. After the synchronization, each of the border router radios communicates with endpoints associated therewith according to a channel hopping pattern modified by applying a channel offset determined based on the channel offset parameters assigned to the respective radio.

A wireless audio output device includes a plurality of audio output units, first and second audio output units among the audio output units being set as first and second roles, respectively. The first role is to establish a multicast link with a source device, to receive one or more media packets from the source device on the multicast link, and to perform bidirectional communication with the source device. The second role is to join the multicast link, to receive the one or more media packets from the source device on the multicast link, to perform unidirectional communication with the source device, and to perform unidirectional and/or bidirectional communication with the first role. An extended packet time slot is divided and each of the first role and the second role transmits or receives one or more extended packets during the extended packet time slot.

In order to achieve objectives and advantages of the present invention, a wireless battery management system for a vehicle, according to the embodiments of the present invention, comprises: one or more slave battery control units (cell module control, CMC), each comprising a wireless communication module and a battery module; and a master battery control unit (battery master control, BMC) which manages the one or more slave battery control units by being wirelessly connected to the wireless communication module of the one or more slave battery control units, wherein the master battery control unit is configured to transmit an advertisement message set for the one or more slave battery control units, and receive a connection instruction message from the one or more slave battery control units, and wherein the master battery control unit manages the one or more slave battery control units without any confirmation of a version and without any exchange of a separate message regarding a supported function and encryption key exchange, on the basis of the set advertisement message and the connection instruction message.

Provided is a high-speed communication system with the high reliability and the low latency under New Radio (NR). A base station device includes a plurality of distributed units (DUs, 802) that transmit and receive radio signals, and a central unit (CU, 801) that controls the plurality of DUs (802). The CU (801) duplicates a downlink packet addressed to a communication terminal device (804), and forwards the duplicated downlink packet to each of at least two DUs (802) among the plurality of DUs (802). Each of the at least two of the DUs (802) transmits, to the communication terminal device (804) by the radio signal, the downlink packet obtained from the CU (801). Upon redundant receipt of the downlink packets, the communication terminal device (804) removes a redundant downlink packet in accordance with a predefined downlink packet removal criterion.

A control device may be configured to delay an attachment procedure while attachment messages are being transmitted over the network. The control device may be configured to initiate an attachment procedure with a router device on a network at the end a back-off period of time. The attachment procedure may include transmitting attachment messages (e.g., parent request messages) that enable the control device to transmit and receive messages over the network through the router device. During the back-off period of time, the control device may determine an attachment message is received from another control device on the network. And, if an attachment message (e.g., a parent request messages and/or a link request message) is received from another control device, the control device may increase the back-off period of time (e.g., delaying when the control device initiates its attachment procedure).

The present application provides a network access method, apparatus and device, the method includes: acquiring device information of a mesh network device after registration; determining a first master node set to be connected according to the device information of the mesh network device; determining a first target master node device from the first master node set based on a master node selection manner, determining the device group corresponding to the first target master node device, and acquiring a target node device in the device group corresponding to the first target master node device; and connecting the mesh network device to the target node device to enable a terminal device connected to the mesh network device to realize network access through a communication link corresponding to the mesh network device.

A monitoring system includes monitoring devices provided in a monitored device, and a controller that wirelessly communicates with the monitoring devices to acquire monitoring information. In an operating state of the monitored device, the controller and the monitoring devices establish individual connections in which the controller acting as a communication master performs wireless communication with each of the monitoring devices acting as communication slaves. In a non-operating state of the monitored device, the controller and the monitoring devices maintain communication between the controller and the monitoring devices by establishing a sequential connection. In the sequential connection, the controller acting as a communication master performs wireless communication with one of the monitoring devices acting as a communication slave, and one of the monitoring devices, in sequence, acting as a communication master performs wireless communication with another one of the monitoring devices acting as a communication slave.
