Abstract:
The fast synchronization scheduling apparatus includes: a radio frequency (RF) transmission and reception module configured to transmit and receive RF signals from nearby channels, a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) reception and storage module configured to receive RSSI values from the RF signals received from the RF transmission and reception module and store the received RSSI values, a channel sorting module configured to measure Channel Quality Estimation (CQE) values of the respective channels by putting the RSSI values of the respective channels received from the RSSI reception and storage module into a CQE formula and to sort the channels in order of highest CQE value (highest channel quality) based on the measured CQE values.

Claim (Index 11):
The fast synchronization scheduling method of  claim 10 , wherein step (f) comprises:\n a first calculating step of calculating, by a good group channel calculating module, a number of channels classified as being part of the good group on the basis of the CQE value when it is determined that the number of coordinators calculated by a coordinator number calculating module is one; a step of, when the number of channels obtained as a result of the first calculating step is in a range of one to three, allocating a number of channels (ADV slots) corresponding to the number of channels obtained as the result of the first calculating step, and delivering information about the allocation to the coordinator; a second calculating step of calculating, by the good group channel calculating module, a number of channels classified as being part of the good group on the basis of the CQE value when it is determined that the number of coordinators calculated by the coordinator number calculating module is two; a step of, when the number of channels obtained as a result of the second calculating step is one, having the channel (an ADV slot) be primarily allocated to a coordinator with a lower numbered coordinator ID, and delivering information about the allocation to the coordinator; a step of, when the number of channels obtained as a result of the second calculating step is two, having the channels be respectively allocated to the two coordinators, and delivering information about the allocation to the coordinators; a step of, when the number of channels obtained as a result of the second calculating step is three, having two of the channels be allocated to a coordinator with a lower numbered coordinator ID, having the one remaining channel be allocated to the remaining coordinator, and delivering information about the allocation to the coordinators; a step of, when the number of coordinators calculated by the coordinator number calculating module is three or more, comparing the number of coordinators with the number of channels in the good group; a step of, when the number of the channels in the good group is smaller than the number of the coordinators as a result of the comparing, having the channels in the good group be allocated to the coordinators in order of lowest numbered coordinator ID, and delivering information about the allocation to the coordinators; and a step of, when the number of the channels in the good group is larger than or equal to the number of the coordinators as the result of the comparing, having one channel be allocated to one coordinator such that ADV messages are simultaneously transmitted in a plurality of channels, and delivering information about the allocation to the coordinators.
