Abstract: Adapting communication of information based on link-performance characteristics is discussed herein. For the example, an apparatus can include an interface circuit and a processor. The interface circuit communicates with an electronic device via a link. And the processor is communicatively coupled to the interface circuit. The interface circuit provides one or more performance metrics characterizing the link to the processor. And the processor adapts a communication with the electronic device via the link based on the one or more performance metrics.

Abstract: A device implementing a system for multipath connection management may include first and second local communication interfaces, and a processor configured to establish a primary connection for communicating between the first local communication interface and a first remote communication interface of an other device, and a secondary connection for communicating between the second local communication interface and a second remote communication interface. The processor may be configured to transmit application and control data over the primary connection and concurrently transmit a copy of control data over the secondary connection. The processor may be configured to determine that a degradation of the quality of the primary connection is attributable to the other device. The processor may be configured to switch the secondary connection to the first local communication interface and the second remote communication interface. The processor may be configured to transmit a copy of the application and control data over the secondary connection.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for estimating data traffic characteristics for applications to condition data communication channels that support data packet transfer for the applications in wireless communication devices are disclosed. Data connections to support different applications and/or daemon software processes can be established and subsequently adjusted based on data traffic characteristics for data that the different applications/daemons generate and/or consume. Traffic flows for the applications/daemons are classified into traffic classes based on likely data traffic patterns. When data sources are added or deleted, changes to a traffic class state can be determined, and wireless circuitry adjusted based at least in part on the traffic class state and a traffic class policy. Adjusting parameters that affect the periodicity and/or length of active time periods and sleep periods in accordance with estimated data traffic patterns for applications/daemons that use the data connections can reduce power consumption by the wireless circuitry.

Abstract: The embodiments set forth techniques for avoiding network connectivity stalls at a mobile computing device. In an idle state, a performance analyzer executing on the mobile computing device is configured to passively analyze high-level network connectivity information to detect any minor issues with the network connectivity being provided by a primary interface (e.g., WiFi). When minor issues are detected, the mobile computing device transitions into an alerted state, where high emphasis is placed on using the WiFi interface and low emphasis is placed on using a secondary interface (e.g., Cellular). In the alerted state, the mobile computing device actively analyzes low-level connectivity information to detect any major issues with the WiFi interface. When major issues are detected, the mobile computing device transitions into a fallback state, where high emphasis is placed on using the Cellular interface and low emphasis is placed on using the WiFi interface.
