Patent ID: 11943658
Assignee: CYPRESS SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. A method for operating a multi-protocol communication network comprising:
exchanging first radio frequency (RF) packets between a first transceiver in a first device and a second-transceiver in a second device to establish a wireless-connection using a packet-switched-wireless-protocol;
determining packet duration of the first RF packets;
receiving first Universal Serial Bus (USB) packets in a first interface-controller in the first device from a first wired-connection using a packet-switched-wired-protocol;
converting the first USB packets to second RF packets compatible with the packet-switched-wireless-protocol by proactively starting a preamble transmission and inserting a number of synchronization bits in a preamble field of the first USB packets so a duration of the second RF packets is aligned with the packet duration of the first RF packets;
coupling the second RF packets to the first transceiver and transmitting the second RF packets to the second-transceiver using the packet-switched-wireless-protocol; and
converting the second RF packets received in the second-transceiver to second USB packets compatible with the packet-switched-wireless-protocol by removing the number of synchronization bits in the preamble field of the second RF packets and coupling the second USB packets to a second wired-connection through a second interface-controller in the second device,
wherein the number of synchronization bits include bits of Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter (UART) data.
