Abstract:
A first message is received that includes a value indicative of a first timeout interval associated with configuring a second device to operate as a peer-to-peer (P2P) group owner or a P2P client in a P2P wireless network. A second timeout interval is determined based at least on the first timeout interval, and it is determined whether the second timeout interval expired. It is determined whether a second message is received from the second device prior to the second timeout interval expiring, and it is determined that a P2P connection with the second device failed based on a determination that the second message was not received from the second device prior to the second timeout interval expiring.
Abstract:
A discovery control system of a first device includes a mode selection module. The module selection module is configured to select a listen mode and a search mode. A discovery control module includes a probe request module. The probe request module is configured to generate a probe request signal within the first device and receive a probe response signal generated by a second device during the search mode. A probe response module is configured to generate a probe response signal within the first device during the listen mode and the search mode and based on a probe request signal generated by the second device.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for switching transmission channels that include monitoring a number of packets within a transmitter buffer of a transmitter, determining that the number of packets within the transmitter buffer exceeds a pre-determined threshold, and changing a transmission channel used by the transmitter for transmission based at least upon the number of packets within the transmitter buffer exceeding a pre-determined threshold.
Abstract:
A network device of a peer-to-peer network includes a parameter monitoring module. The parameter monitoring module is configured to monitor a network device parameter of the network device. A client traffic window adjusting module is configured to adjust at least one of N client traffic window parameters based on the network device parameter. The N client traffic window parameters include at least one of: a length of a client traffic window; and a number of client traffic windows within a predetermined period. A physical layer device is configured to receive a discovery response signal from a peer-to-peer device during a period of the client traffic window.
Abstract:
A wireless network interface includes a component, a first sub-client module that operates using a first wireless protocol, and a second sub-client module that operates using a second wireless protocol. The first and second wireless protocols are different. The first and second sub-client modules share use of the component. A component sharing control module selectively transitions the first sub-client module into and out of a state to allow the second sub-client module to use the component during the state.
Abstract:
Wireless USB connection techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device includes one or more modules configured to communicate data over a wireless USB connection to another USB device. The wireless USB connection is implemented by mimicking a wired USB connection.

Abstract:
A network interface includes a radio frequency system and a media access controller. The media access controller includes first and second client modules and a control module. Each of the client modules wirelessly communicates with a network via the radio frequency system and the antenna. Each of the client modules is controllable to be in an active state or a sleep state. The control module determines priority levels of the first client module and the second client module. The control module also, based on the priority levels, (i) controls the first client module to be in the active state to permit communication between the first client module and the radio frequency system, and (ii) controls the second client module to be in the sleep state to prevent communication between the second client module and the radio frequency system.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for sharing power load in a network. The method includes identifying a first device to serve as an AP of the network in a next time interval, providing network information from a second device that presently serves as the AP to the first device. When the first device starts to serve as the AP of the network, the second device can be configured to enter into a power save state in order to reduce power consumption by the second device in the next time interval.
