System and method for avoiding and resolving conflicts in a wireless mobile display digital interface multicast environment

摘要

Systems and methods for avoiding conflict in a wireless mobile display digital interface (WMDDI) environment including both host and client devices. In one aspect, the presently claimed invention includes a system and/or method that is configured for broadcasting a first multicast MAC address by a first host to at least one first client in a predetermined geographic area and broadcasting the first multicast MAC address by a second host to at least one second client in the predetermined geographic area. The system and/or method can be further configured for determining a priority between the first host and the second host when the second host receives multicast packets transmitted by the first host and changing to a second multicast MAC address by a least priority host of the first host and the second host.

1. A method executed on hardware for selecting a multicast address to avoid conflicts in a digital communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
wirelessly broadcasting a first multicast address selected by a first host to at least one first client in a predetermined geographic area; wirelessly broadcasting the first multicast address selected by a second host to at least one second client in the predetermined geographic area, each of the first host and the second host independently selecting the first multicast address; determining a priority between the first host and the second host when the second host receives the first multicast address rebroadcast by the first client; and changing to a second multicast address by a least priority host of the first host and the second host.
