    摘要: Apparatus and methods for rapid, cost effective testing of wireless systems. In one embodiment, a unit under test (UUT) is tested by a test “server”. The UUT and test server communicate via a “connectionless” protocol which is based on beacons (and beacon responses) which can carry one or more test primitives. The aforementioned “connection-less” test protocol can be performed without wireless network configuration, which greatly reduces test time, Additionally, exemplary solutions are presented for “lock-up” of the UUT and the test server.

    摘要: Methods and systems are disclosed for joint scheduling of wireless and video activities. Video data may be accessed to estimate an encoding time interval for the video data, identify a per-frame display duration for the video data, and to define a non-encoding time interval. A schedule may be generated for a set of network-calibration events that indicates, for each network-calibration event of the set of network-calibration events. Streaming of the video data to a display device may be initiated such that for each frame of a set of frames represented in the video data: the frame is encoded, transmitted, and the set of network-calibration events is initiated according to the schedule. Each of the network-calibration event being configured to be initiated during a non-encoding time interval during which none of the set of frames are being encoded.

    摘要: Devices, systems, and methods utilize coexistence-based frequency hopping. Methods are performed at a user equipment including an antenna arrangement comprising a first plurality of antennas configured for use with a first connection and a second plurality of antennas configured for use with a second connection. The methods include determining, for each of a plurality of combinations of one of the first antennas and one of the second antennas, an individual expected interference limiting a number of usable channels for the first connection. The methods include determining a combined expected interference based at least in part on at least one of the individual expected interferences. The methods also include selecting, based at least in part on the combined expected interference, an operational antenna of the first plurality of antennas for communication associated with the first connection.

    摘要: A wireless device can perform non-line-of-sight detection. The wireless device may establish a wireless link with another wireless device using a wireless channel. The wireless device may perform one or more channel measurements for the wireless channel. The wireless device may determine whether a line-of-sight path is available for the wireless channel based at least in part on the one or more channel measurements. The wireless device may determine whether to trigger beamforming selection, antenna selection, and/or any other link maintenance operations based at least in part on the determined line-of-sight availability.
