Methods and apparatus for improving management of NFC logical connections

摘要

Aspects disclosed herein relate to improving mechanisms for managing logical connection establishment between NFCC and a DH. In one example, with a NFC device a NFCC may be configured to receive a core initialization command, from a DH, as part of an initialization and activation procedure. The NFCC may be configured to transmit a core initialization response to the DH without information associated with a static RF connection. Thereafter, the NFC device may detect one or more remote NFC endpoints. The NFCC may further be operable to determine a maximum payload size and an initial number of credits for the static RF connection based, at least in part, on at least one of a RF interface or a RF protocol used by a remote NFC endpoint chosen for communications, and transmit the determined maximum payload size and the initial number of credits to the DH to establish a logical connection.

1. A method of communication, comprising:
receiving a core initialization command, from a device host (DH), as part of an initialization and activation procedure for a near field communications (NFC) controller (NFCC); transmitting a core initialization response to the DH without information associated with a static radio frequency (RF) connection; detecting one or more remote NFC endpoints; determining a maximum payload size and an initial number of credits for the static RF connection based, at least in part, on at least one of a RF interface or a RF protocol used by a remote NFC endpoint chosen for communications; and transmitting the determined maximum payload size and the initial number of credits to the DH to establish a logical connection.
