20150156797 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ADJUSTING TRANSMISSION INTERVALS FOR DISCOVERY FRAMES - Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of adjusting transmission intervals for discovery frames. For example, an apparatus may include a wireless communication unit to communicate over a wireless communication medium according to a discovery scheme including a plurality of contention-based discovery windows, the wireless communication unit is to select a discovery window according to a transmission interval, to schedule transmission of a discovery frame for the discovery window, and to adjust the transmission interval based on whether or not the wireless communication medium is observed to be busy during a predefined time period of the discovery window. | 06-04-2015 |
20150237654 | METHODS AND ARRANGEMENTS FOR CHANNEL ACCESS IN WIRELESS NETWORKS - Embodiments may define traffic priorities to facilitate transmissions for wireless communications devices. Many embodiments comprise MAC sublayer logic to generate and transmit management frames such as beacon frames, association response frames, reassociation response frames, and probe response frames with an access category for low power consumption stations or sensor stations comprising a parameter record defining a contention window that is the earliest contention window to open amongst contention windows defined for the access categories for traffic. In some embodiments, the MAC sublayer logic may store the parameter record sets for access categories in memory, in logic, or in another manner that facilitates transmission of the frames. Some embodiments may receive and detect communications with frames comprising the access categories and store a parameter set for one or more of the access categories in a management information base. | 08-20-2015 |
20150256615 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD OF SETTING UP AN APPLICATION SERVICE PLATFORM (ASP) PEER TO PEER (P2P) GROUP - Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of setting up an Application Service Platform (ASP) Peer-to-Peer (P2P) persistent group. For example, an apparatus may include a first ASP to communicate with a second ASP to setup one or more ASP-P2P groups over a wireless communication link, the first ASP is to form each ASP-P2P group only as an ASP-P2P persistent group extendable over a plurality of distinct sessions, the first ASP is to store credentials of the ASP-P2P persistent group for use during the sessions. | 09-10-2015 |
20150256643 | METHODS AND ARRANGEMENTS FOR DEVICE PROFILES IN WIRELESS NETWORKS - Embodiments provide a device profile mechanism for wireless devices. Many embodiments comprise a medium access control (MAC) sublayer logic to build frames comprising a device profile index element for a first device. Embodiments may facilitate access by a second device to a device profile for the first device without communication of the entire device profile from the first device. In some embodiments, the second device may access a storage medium integrated with or accessible to the second device to determine the device profile. Some embodiments may store the device profile index element in memory, in logic, or in another manner that facilitates transmission of the device profile index element in frames. Some embodiments may receive and detect communications with the device profile index element. Further embodiments may generate and transmit a communication with the device profile index element. | 09-10-2015 |
20150319555 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BLUETOOTH-BASED WI-FI SYNCHRONIZATION - The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for leveraging Bluetooth (BT) or Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technologies to conserve energy in multi-mode devices. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to synchronizing a first wireless platform with a second wireless platform by exchanging Wi-Fi synchronization information through BT packets. Each of the first and the second wireless platforms may have integrated Wi-Fi (or other communication modalities) with a BT radio. In one embodiment of the disclosure, the Wi-Fi communication modes are kept at sleep mode while the BT modalities exchange synchronization information. | 11-05-2015 |
20150319596 | BLUETOOTH ASSISTED REMOTE DISCOVERY AND WAKEUP - Disclosed herein are techniques to enable remote discovery of connectivity capabilities and remote connection of devices in a power efficient manner. In particular, discovery and connection requests for connectivity capabilities utilizing a first radio may be communicated using a second radio, the second radio utilizing a lower amount of power relative to the first radio. For example, connectivity capabilities such as Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, WiGig, Zigbee can be discovered and connection request communicated using a Bluetooth radio. | 11-05-2015 |
20150319674 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BLUETOOTH-BASED GENERAL SERVICE DISCOVERY - The disclosure relates to a method, system and apparatus for extending Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technology to conserve energy in multi-mode wireless devices. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a device comprising a first module configured for radio communication at a non-BLE communication mode; a second module to communicate at a BLE communication mode; and a controller for controlling the first and the second communication modules, the controller configured to direct the BLE communication mode to at least one of advertise or scan for information relating to the non-BLE communication mode. | 11-05-2015 |
20150350936 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PERFORMING A TIME OF FLIGHT (ToF) MEASUREMENT - Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of performing a Time of Flight (ToF) measurement. For example, a first wireless device may include a radio to communicate a discovery frame with a second wireless device, the discovery frame including an initiator indication to indicate whether a sender of the discovery frame is to be an initiator or a responder of a Time of Flight (ToF) measurement procedure, and availability information to indicate a wireless channel and one or more time intervals; and a controller to perform the ToF measurement procedure with the second wireless device over the wireless channel during the one or more time intervals, the controller be either the initiator or responder of the ToF measurement according to the initiator indication. | 12-03-2015 |
