摘要: Methods performed by a first sink device, a source device, or a second sink device. The first sink device is connected to a source device via a first communication link and a second sink device via a second communication link, wherein the second sink device is configured to eavesdrop on communications between the first sink device and the source device on the first communication link. The methods include determining an occurrence of a trigger event and modifying an operation of at least one of the first sink device, the second sink device or the source device based at least on the trigger event occurring.

摘要: Exemplary embodiments include a system having a first wireless audio output device and a second wireless audio output device. One of the first or second audio output devices is configured to one of connect as a slave to a source device in a first piconet and connect as a master to the other one of the first or second audio output devices in a second piconet. The one of the first or second wireless audio output devices determines whether an audio packet transmitted by the source device via the first piconet was received by the first wireless audio output device and the second wireless audio output device, and, when at least one of the first wireless audio output device or the second wireless audio output device did not receive the audio packet, the audio packet is exchanged between the first and second wireless audio output devices via the second piconet.

摘要: In order to improve the quality of communication between electronic devices, one or more sub-channels used during communication between the electronic devices are dynamically modified based on one or more performance metrics and allowed transmit powers of the sub-channels. In particular, when the one or more performance metrics indicate that a distance between the electronic devices falls within a mid-range of distances, the one or more performance metrics may be used to guide selective changes to the sub-channels used during the communication based on the allowed transmit powers. The changes to the sub-channels used during the communication may increase, decrease or leave the total bandwidth unchanged. Moreover, by changing the sub-channels used during the communication, the allowed transmit power(s) of the sub-channel(s) used may be increased, which may improve the performance during the communication.

摘要: A wireless communication device includes a number of radio-frequency (RF) antennas and one or more radio circuits. Each radio circuit includes a receive (RX) chain to process RX signals and a transmit (TX) chain to process TX signals. An RF switch network couples at least one RF antenna to at least one radio circuit. A baseband processor controls a configuration of the RF switch network. The baseband processor determines a plurality of parameters and controls the RF switch network based on at least one of the parameters. The parameters are determined during a training interval including at least an inter-frame space (IFS). The configuration of the RF switch network is based on the determined parameters and is employed for selection of an antenna to improve a link performance when used for communication of a next packet following the IFS.

摘要: Exemplary embodiments include a system having a first wireless audio output device configured to connect to a source device via a first piconet and a second wireless audio output device configured to connect to the first wireless audio output device via a second piconet. A schedule of the first piconet includes a plurality of slots associated with an audio packet, a first subset of the slots used by the source device to transmit the audio packet, the first and second wireless audio output devices tuning to the first piconet to listen for the transmissions of the audio packet, and when, after a last one of the first subset of slots, the first or second wireless audio output devices did not receive the audio packet, the first and second wireless audio output devices exchange information via the second piconet such that the both wireless audio output device receive the audio packet.

摘要: Dynamic antenna switching based on weighted signal to noise ratio (SNR). A wireless device may include multiple antennas. SNR at each active antenna may be calculated. An antenna-specific weight may be applied to each antenna's SNR. The antenna-specific weights may further be radio specific and/or transmit or receive specific in some cases. Antenna selection (possibly just for a specific radio and/or for transmit or receive operations, depending on the specificity of the antenna weights), including potentially switching which antenna is used, may be based on the resulting weighted SNR values for each antenna. If the antenna-specific weights are radio specific and/or transmit or receive operation specific, the method may be performed multiple times with different antenna-specific weights to select antenna(s) for different radios and/or for other operations.
摘要翻译: 基于加权信噪比(SNR)的动态天线切换。 无线设备可以包括多个天线。 可以计算每个有源天线的SNR。 天线特定权重可以应用于每个天线的SNR。 在某些情况下,天线特定权重可以进一步是无线电特定的和/或发送或接收特定的。 天线选择(可能仅适用于特定无线电和/或用于发射或接收操作,取决于天线权重的特异性),包括潜在地切换使用哪个天线,可以基于所得到的每个天线的加权SNR值。 如果天线特定权重是无线电特定的和/或发送或接收操作特定的,则可以使用不同的天线特定权重多次执行该方法,以选择用于不同无线电和/或其他操作的天线。
