ADAPTIVE SYNCHRONOUS PROTOCOL FOR MINIMIZING LATENCY IN TDD SYSTEMS
Granted: April 21, 2016
Application Number:
20160112187
Systems and methods are presented that offer significant improvements in the performance of time division duplex (TDD) systems by utilizing an adaptive synchronous protocol. Conventional TDD systems are limited because data is transmitted during discreet and limited intervals of time, and because TDD transceivers may not simultaneously transmit and receive for reasons of insufficiently separated frequencies and limited receiver selectivity. Typically, TDD systems have significant latency…
