The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.
Abstract: A device-to-device data communication link may be controlled to provide link downtime for maintenance operations. In one of the devices, a link downtime request and a data traffic level indication may be provided. Then, in the device, a link downtime acknowledgement may be provided in response to the link downtime request when the data traffic level indication is less than a threshold. The device may then suspend link traffic and control a link maintenance operation in response to the link downtime acknowledgement. The device may base the data traffic level indication on not only data traffic in that device but also on data traffic in other devices coupled to the data communication link.
