Patent ID: 11962678
Assignee: CORETIGO LTD.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 7:
8. A hub for interfacing between a wireless mission critical communication link (MCCL) and a wired MCCL, comprising:
a wired interface a providing a physical layer connectivity to the wired MCCL;
a plurality of ports coupled to the wired interface;
a wireless interface providing a physical layer connectivity to the wireless MCCL; and
processing circuitry; and
a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the hub to:
determine a wireless communication cycle of a primary device coupled to the wireless MCCL;
determine a wired communication cycle of a secondary device, wherein the secondary device is coupled via one of the plurality of ports to the wired MCCL;
receive a feedback signal from the secondary device over the wired MCCL;
synchronize a start time of the wireless communication cycle to a start of the wired communication cycle; and
transmit the feedback signal over the wireless MCCL to the primary device at an aligned start time of the wired communication cycle.
