    Abstract: Embodiments may include systems and methods for communication including a communication port with a first lane and a second lane, a first power controller and a second power controller coupled to the communication port. The first power controller is to control, at a first time instance, the first lane to operate in a first power state selected from a first set of power states for the first lane. The second power controller is to control, at a second time instance, the second lane to operate in a second power state selected from a second set of power states for the second lane, wherein the first power state is different from the second power state. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: An apparatus is provided, where the apparatus may include a first terminal and a second terminal to be coupled to a host via a first wire and a second wire, respectively; a rechargeable storage; and a data circuitry. The apparatus may, during a first time-period, receive power via the first wire and the second wire from the host, and store the power in the rechargeable storage, and during a second time-period, transmit data from the data circuitry to the host via the first wire and the second wire. The first and second time-periods may be non-overlapping time periods. The apparatus is to refrain from transmitting any data to, or receiving any data from, the host during the first time period.

    Abstract: A source component includes a clock source to generate a clock signal, a plurality of front-end driver circuits to transmit signals to a sink component over a plurality of data lanes of an interconnect, and a clock distribution circuit coupled to the clock source and the plurality of front-end driver circuits. The clock distribution circuit is to distribute a first clock pulse of the clock signal on a first data lane and a second clock pulse of the clock signal on a second data lane. A sink component is to recover the first clock pulse of the clock signal from the first data lane and the second clock pulse of the clock signal from the second data lane, wherein the clock recovery circuit includes clock reconstruction logic to reconstruct the clock signal from the first clock pulse and the second clock pulse.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a multi-transceiver wireless communication device and methods for adaptive multi-band communication are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the multi-transceiver wireless communication device is configurable for half-duplex operation and for asymmetrical full-duplex operation on two non-interfering channels. In some embodiments, a contention-based channel access procedure may be performed to attempt to gain access to both a primary channel and an auxiliary channel. A primary transceiver and an auxiliary transceiver may be configured for asymmetrical full-duplex operation when access to both the primary channel and the auxiliary channel is granted. One of the transceivers may be configured for half-duplex operation when access to only one of the channels is granted. During asymmetrical full-duplex operation, the primary transceiver may be configured to communicate data packets using the primary channel, and the auxiliary transceiver may be configured to communicate control packets using an auxiliary channel.

    Abstract: Techniques for sampling a data signal are described. An example of an electronic device includes a data bus, a transmitting device coupled to the data bus, and a receiving device coupled to the data bus by a bus interface. The bus interface is to receive a data signal from the transmitting device, wherein the data signal includes a known data pattern. Additionally, the bus interface is to receive a forwarded clock signal from the transmitting device and generate a sampling clock signal based on the forwarded clock signal. Additionally, the bus interface is to sample the known data pattern to obtain phase tracking data and adjust a sampling phase of the sampling clock signal based on the phase tracking data.

    Abstract: A method and system for communicating data between two devices are described herein. The method detects an electrical signal of a first protocol from a first device in a repeater, wherein the first protocol comprises single-ended signaling. The method also determines the speed of the electrical signal. Additionally, the method converts the electrical signal of the first protocol into an electrical signal of a second protocol based on the speed of the electrical signal. The second protocol comprises differential signaling. Furthermore, the method sends the electrical signal of the second protocol to a second device. In addition, the method stops the electrical signal of the second protocol to the second device when the electrical signal of the second protocol indicates an end of data flow.
