摘要:
A system and method for interacting with a graphical user interface (GUI) on a display means of a computing device. The system includes a multifunctional input device configured to interact with a simplified graphical user interface (GUI) of the computing device. The multifunctional input device is configured to provide improved accessibility to the computing device for users having limited computing knowledge and/or skills, as well as limited physical and/or cognitive abilities.

Briefly, a mechanism to avoid interference and improve channel efficiency in mmWave Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) is disclosed. In particular, interference information during various time periods is tracked and used to optimize transmission scheduling. Further, a mechanism is provided to improve communication latency by distributing responsibility for coordination of slots amongst multiple transmitting devices.

One or more devices or stations include a globally unique media access control (MAC) address, and one or more local virtual MAC Addresses. The local virtual MAC addresses are generated by an external entity, such as server. The stations and the server may be connected through an access point.

An embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus, comprising a transceiver operable in a wireless personal area network, wherein the transceiver is configured to communicate with a coordinator and at least one receiver and wherein the transceiver and the coordinator use a directional reservation of free channel time blocks using contention-based slots, by selecting uniformly at random contention slots by the transceiver and transmitting a bandwidth reservation request message specifying the requested reservation period using directional transmission pointed towards the coordinator.

Methods, apparatuses, and systems to generate accurate interference signatures are disclosed. An apparatus embodiment may be a transmitting device that transmits VBR data. The transmitting device may be allotted a number of sub-slots in which the transmitting device uses to transmit the VBR data. However, the communicating device may rarely use all of the allotted slots and routinely use only a few of the sub-slots. A receiving device that may be affected by transmissions from the transmitting device, such as a receiver in a neighboring network, may monitor the channel to develop an interference pattern or interference signature. To enable the receiving device to develop an accurate interference signature, the transmitting device may transmit data over each of the allotted sub-slots within a predetermined period.
摘要:
A method and apparatus to reduce the idle link power in a platform. In one embodiment of the invention, the host and its coupled endpoint(s) in the platform each has a low power idle link state that allows disabling of the high speed link circuitry in both the host and its coupled endpoint(s). This allows the platform to reduce its idle power as both the host and its coupled endpoint(s) are able to turn off their high speed link circuitry in one embodiment of the invention.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method, comprising dynamically reserving free channel time blocks for directional transmissions in a wireless personal area network (WPAN) by a transceiver communicating with a Coordinator and the Coordinator allocating a part or a whole of unreserved channel time blocks for a directional link during a handshake with the transceiver.
