Abstract:
In response to determining that a Bluetooth inquiry phase or the Bluetooth paging phase will begin, a power save indicator signal is sent from a first communication device to a second communication device prior to a start of the Bluetooth inquiry phase or the Bluetooth paging phase. A gap between a first Bluetooth communication slot and a second Bluetooth communication slot is determined, and a time period within the gap is determined, where an end of the time period occurs at a defined amount of time prior to a start of the second Bluetooth communication slot. During the time period, one or more power save poll messages are sent from the first communication device to the second communication device, each first power save poll message prompting the second communication device to transmit a respective first WLAN packet to the first communication device.
Abstract:
A computer readable storage medium or media stores machine readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to, while a device in a communication network is operating in a first power management mode, simultaneously monitor for an expiration of a first period of time during which no message traffic is observed at all on a communication channel of the communication network, and an expiration of a second period of time during which no message traffic destined for the device is received by the device via the communication channel of the communication network. The instructions also cause the one or more processors to, responsive to the expiration of the first or second period of time, whichever comes first, initiate operation of the device in a second power management mode.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit device of a first device synchronizes to a bus clock of a wired communication bus, wherein the wired communication bus connects the first device to a second device. A power save time period is determined, wherein the power save period is measured in terms of the bus clock. A request is sent, via the wired communication bus, from the first device to the second device. The request is for reduced power operation during the power save time period, and the request indicates, in terms of the bus clock, i) a start time of the power save time period and ii) an end time of the power save time period. The first device is caused to enter a reduced power mode within the power save time period.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting one or more first wireless local area network (WLAN) packets and one or more first Bluetooth (BT) packets. The method includes: prior to transmission of the one or more first wireless local area network (WLAN) packets, predicting a first time at which the transmission of the one or more first wireless local area network (WLAN) packets is going to end, and predicting a second time at which reception of one or more second Bluetooth (BT) packets is going to start; and simultaneously transmitting the one or more first wireless local area network (WLAN) packets and the one or more first Bluetooth (BT) packets in response to the first time being predicted to occur prior to the second time.

Abstract:
A wireless communication device including a first transceiver, a second transceiver, and a coexistence module. The first transceiver transmits a first signal and operates according to a first wireless communication standard. The second transceiver selects a first channel of multiple channels and transmits a second signal on the first channel. The second transceiver operates according to a second wireless communication standard. The first channel is associated with a frequency. The coexistence module, based on the frequency of the first channel, alters a transmission characteristic of the first signal to be transmitted by the first transceiver and alters a transmission characteristic of the second signal to be transmitted by the second transceiver. The transmission characteristic of the first signal and the transmission characteristic of the second signal, as altered by the coexistence module, prevent interference with the first signal and the second signal.
Abstract:
In response to determining that a Bluetooth inquiry phase or a Bluetooth paging phase is beginning, a power save (PS) mode signal is sent from a first device to a second device via a wireless local area network (WLAN) communication link, wherein the PS mode signal indicates that the first device is in a WLAN PS mode. A PS poll signal is sent from the first device to the second device via the WLAN communication link in a gap between Bluetooth inquiry phase message transmissions during the Bluetooth inquiry phase or between Bluetooth paging phase message transmissions during the Bluetooth paging phase.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving samples of audio data and storing the samples of audio data in a buffer. Each of the samples of audio data includes a plurality of bits. The method also includes transmitting each of the plurality of bits, of each of the samples of audio data retrieved from the buffer, across a single-bit bus; and subsequent to transmitting each of the samples, transmitting a selected number of dummy bits across the single-bit bus. The selected number is greater than one. The method further includes analyzing activity of the buffer and, based on the activity of the buffer, dynamically adjusting the selected number. The method also includes acquiring the samples of audio data transmitted across the single-bit bus and ignoring the dummy bits. The method further includes generating analog signals in response to the samples of audio data acquired across the single-bit bus.
