Patent ID: 11831585

Abstract:
A method and system for controlling a full-duplex communication system to operate as a time domain duplexing system with dynamic bandwidth allocation. One method includes detecting a change in conditions which necessitates an updated transmit time allocation and generating a LLDP advertisement which reflects the updated transmit time allocation. The initiating port transmits the LLDP advertisement to a link partner to notify the link partner of the updated transmit time allocation and in response, the initiating port receives a link partner LLDP advertisement from the link partner. The updated transmit time allocation is provided to a TCI client and the TCI client updates the reconciliation sublayer with updated transmit time allocation. Then implementing, using the reconciliation sublayer, transmit time allocations for a PHY layer and a MAC layer. Transmitting the data with the PHY layer occurs over a channel during transmit time allocations as defined by the reconciliation sublayer.
