Adaptive timing synchronization in packet based radio systems

Abstract:

Methods and apparatuses for adaptive timing synchronization are described. In one example, a method includes determining a data communications packet length relative to a data communications slot length in a time-slotted data communications connection to identify a duty cycle parameter. The method further includes transmitting data communications packets between a first device and a second device utilizing an adaptive timing method. The adaptive timing method includes selecting from a random timing communications method or a synchronization timing communications method responsive to the duty cycle parameter being above or below a predetermined value.
