Abstract: Appearance of simultaneous connections is provided to devices that support two wireless protocols which are not permitted to operation simultaneously. As an example the method and systems disclosed are applied to the communication between a phone and a smartwatch wherein Bluetooth (BT) classic protocol is used for e.g. voice commands and phone calls and Bluetooth low Energy (BLE) protocol is used for data notifications. In a first embodiment of the disclosure automatic mode switching between BT and BLE is provided. In a second embodiment a dual-ID device utilizes separate IDs for both protocols in time multiplexed connections. It operates as logically independent devices with individual ID's although physically it is a single device.

Abstract: A radio-controlled timepiece includes the following. A timekeeping unit keeps date and time. A satellite radio wave receiving unit receives a transmitting radio wave of a positioning satellite. A receiving term setting unit sets a receiving term with the satellite radio wave receiving unit. A date/time obtaining unit obtains date/time information from the transmitting radio wave received by the satellite radio wave receiving unit. An elapsed time counting unit counts elapsed time from when the date and time is obtained by the date/time obtaining unit. A first judging unit judges whether the elapsed time is less than a first reference time determined based on a timekeeping error of the timekeeping unit and a format of a signal transmitted from the positioning satellite.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems for estimating a propagation time between a first node and a second node of a wireless network are disclosed. One method includes determining a first time propagation delay between the first node and the second node based on location of the second node and the kinematic information of a third node, receiving, by the second node, a packet from the first node containing a timestamp representing a transmit time of the packet from the first node, determining a second time propagation delay between the first node and the second node based upon the difference between the reception time of the packet, and the first time stamp included within the packet, transmitting, by a second node a TX packet after a holding delay based on the first propagation delay and the second propagation delay.
