Abstract:
A data transmission/reception method in Near Field Communications (NFC) for enhancing data throughput between at least an initiator device and a target device. The data transmission/reception method typically includes initiating a communication between an initiator and a target that perform NFC, aggregating a plurality of data packet units to be transmitted in order to form an aggregated frame, and transmitting the aggregated frame to a counterpart NFC device.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for managing connections of a plurality of devices by a Near Field Communication (NFC) Controller (NFCC) through NFC. The method includes setting identification information of an entity, the entity being requested from an NFC device for a connection with the NFC device; and setting a logical link between the NFC device and the entity based on the identification information.
Abstract:
A wireless power charging system and a method thereof are provided. The system includes a power transmitter configured to charge one or more power receivers. The power transmitter includes a signal and control unit configured to detect the one or more power receivers present within a radio frequency range of a power transmitter, transmit a request for discovering each of the one or more power receivers, and determine whether a response is received from each of the one or more power receivers. The power transmitter further includes a regulator unit connected to the signal and control unit configured to modulate an amount of radiation to be transmitted based on the number of power receivers that provided a response and a power conversion unit connected to the regulator unit transmitting energy radiation to charge the one or more power receivers.
Abstract:
A method and device for selectively securing records in a Near Field Communication Data Exchange Format (NDEF) message in a Near Field Communication (NFC) device are provided. The method includes generating a record by setting a first field to ‘0’ and setting a second field to a predefined value, wherein the record indicates a beginning of at least one record to be secured in the NDEF message; and placing the record in the NDEF message, wherein, at least one record preceding the record is unsecured and at least one record following the record is secured.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for selectively securing records in a Near Field Communication Data Exchange Format (NDEF) message in a Near Field Communication (NFC) device are provided. The method includes generating a place marker signature record by setting a URI_present field to ‘0’ and setting a signature_type field to a predefined value, wherein a combination of the URI_present field set to ‘0’ and the signature_type field set to the predefined value indicates that a signature Record Type Definition (RTD) is a place marker signature record; and placing the place marker signature record in the NDEF message, wherein a set of records following the place marker signature record are secured.
Abstract:
A method and a system for communicating personal health data in a Near Field Communication (NFC) environment are provided. An NFC manager sets control information in an NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF) for providing synchronized communication of personal health data between the NFC manager and an NFC agent. The control information may include a direction flag, a state flag, sequence identifier field, and request/response flag. The NFC manager writes the NDEF format including the control information and payload data into an NFC tag associated with the NFC agent. Subsequently, the NFC manager reads the NDEF record stored in the NFC tag and determines whether the NDEF record is written into the NFC tag by the NFC agent based on the control information in the read NDEF format. Accordingly, the NFC manager repeats the above mentioned steps if the NDEF record includes payload data of the NFC agent.
Abstract:
For a system providing coexistence between a WPAN coordinator and WLAN Access Point (AP), the WPAN coordinator requests WLAN AP for WPAN operation in a selected WLAN channel. The WLAN AP responds with the allocated time limit for which the WPAN operation can be performed. After expiration of the allocated time limit, the WPAN coordinator relinquishes the channel to the WLAN AP. A method addresses the operation of the WPAN system in 2.4 GHz ISM band when a non-overlapping WPAN channel selection is infeasible.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a system for switching coordinators in a Personal Area Network (PAN) are provided. The method includes initiating a request for switching at least one device present in a network session to a first priority PAN coordinator, the initiated request including a count of the at least one device, transmitting the initiated request to the first priority PAN coordinator, the initiated request including a requirement for supporting the at least one device of that count, determining whether the first priority PAN coordinator is capable of supporting the at least one device, and switching, when the first priority PAN coordinator is capable of supporting the at least one device, the network session of the at least one device with the first priority PAN coordinator to facilitate establishment of the network session with the first priority PAN coordinator.
