Abstract

The present disclosure relates to efficient communications in a limited resource environment. "an electronic device may detect a message request to send one or more redundant messages to a response network. The one or more messages may contain information previously sent from the electronic device to the response network.

Description

Method and apparatus for communication Cross Reference to Related Applications The application is a divisional application of an application patent application with a China national application number 202210587170.9, an application date 2022, 5 and 26 and an application name of 'method and equipment for communication'. The present application claims priority from U.S. provisional application 63/245,099 entitled "EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION IN LIMITED RESOURCE ENVIRONMENTS (efficient communications in limited resource environments)" filed on 9.16 of 2021, which application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes. Background The present disclosure relates generally to wireless communications, and more particularly to optimizing or improving wireless communications in environments where device and/or network resources are limited. The mobile communication device may transmit and/or receive data using a network such as a cellular network, wi-Fi network, satellite network, or the like. During high priority communications, such as communications in an emergency (e.g., injury, earthquake, hurricane) to an emergency response network, a user of a mobile device may send one or more redundant messages from the user's mobile device to the response network. Redundant messages may result in delays in conveying important information to the responding network. In addition, redundant messages may cause network congestion that may reduce or delay information sent or received by the responding network during an emergency. In addition, the mobile device emissions may be affected by the location of the device and/or environmental conditions of the device location. This may further result in incomplete data transmission and delays in communications sent over the network. Disclosure of Invention In one embodiment, a mobile device includes a transmitter configured to transmit a first message having a first message fragment to a response network, and processing circuitry configured to receive a request to transmit a second message having a second message fragment to the response network. Further, the processing circuit is configured to send the second message as a redundancy bit based on an entropy factor indicating a similarity of the second message with respect to the first message. In another embodiment, a method for communicating using a mobile device includes receiving a request to send a first message at processing circuitry of the mobile device and dividing the first message into a plurality of pieces of information. Further, the method includes sending the first message via the transmitter of the mobile device and receiving a request to send a second message at the processing circuit. In addition, the method includes determining, via the processing circuit, that the second message includes one or more of the plurality of pieces of information of the first message, and transmitting, via the transmitter, the one or more pieces of information of the second message as one or more redundancy bits that indicate that the one or more pieces of information of the second message repeat the one or more pieces of information of the first message. In yet another embodiment, a mobile device includes a transmitter configured to transmit one or more messages to a network, and a processing circuit configured to receive a request to send a message to a response network, the message having a first message fragment and a second message fragment. Further, the processing circuit is configured to determine that the first message segment corresponds to a previously transmitted message segment and transmit the first message segment as a redundancy bit to the response network and the second message segment to the response network.
