Abstract:
In one example, a method includes receiving, by a wireless docking center (WDC) and from a wireless dockee (WD), a request to access one or more peripheral functions (PFs) associated with the WDC, and receiving, by the WDC and from the WD, one or more authentication credentials. In this example, the method also includes determining, by the WDC, whether or not the one or more authentication credentials received from the WD grant access to the one or more PFs to which the WD requests access. In this example, the method also includes permitting, by the WDC, the WD to access a first PF of the one or more PFs to which the WD requests access in response to determining that the one or more authentication credentials grant access to the first PF.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for communicating in a wireless communication network. One method of communicating over a wireless communication network includes transmitting, by a first wireless device, a connection capability request message to a second wireless device requesting connection capability information of the second wireless device. The method further includes receiving, by the first wireless device, a connection capability response from the second wireless device indicating one or more communication protocols available for providing a service to the first wireless device. In some aspects, the method may further include selecting, by the first wireless device, based at least in part on the connection capability response, a communication protocol from one of the one or more communication protocols indicated, wherein the communication protocol may be utilized for obtaining the service from the second wireless device.
Abstract:
In one example, a method includes determining, by a wireless dockee (WD), one or more peripheral functions (PFs) associated with a wireless docking center (WDC). In this example, the method further includes establishing a docking session via a direct wireless connection between the WD and the WDC. In this example, the method further includes selecting, by the WD, at least one PF of the one or more PFs associated with the WDC. In this example, the method further includes accessing, by the WD, the at least one PF of the one or more PFs associated with the WDC.

Abstract:
In one example, a method includes performing, by a wireless dockee (WD), a plurality of operations to wirelessly dock with a wireless docking center (WDC) such that the WD may access one or more peripheral functions (PFs) associated with the WDC. In this example, the WD includes a docking service, an application service platform (ASP), and one or more peripheral services that each correspond to at least one PF of the one or more PFs associated with the WDC. In this example, the method also includes interfacing, by the docking service and with the ASP, to perform a first subset of the plurality of operations, and interfacing, by the docking service and with the one or more peripheral services, to perform a second subset of the plurality of operations.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for establishing a Wireless Serial Bus (WSB) service to transport data using a Media Agnostic Universal Serial Bus (MAUSB) protocol according to a selected transport mode in a WSB session of the WSB service. The MAUSB protocol may be deployed either over an Internet Protocol (IP) stack or directly over a Media Access Control (MAC) layer. According to the techniques, the wireless service advertiser and the wireless service seeker negotiate the transport mode for the MAUSB protocol in each WSB session of the WSB service. During a service discovery process, the wireless service advertiser identifies one or more supported transport modes for the MAUSB protocol in service information for the WSB service. During a P2P connection setup and a WSB session setup, the wireless service seeker indicates a selected one of the supported transport modes for the MAUSB protocol in session information for the WSB session.

Abstract:
A wireless dockee device may include a memory, and at least one processor configured to authenticate the wireless dockee to a wireless docking service using a Wi-Fi direct service (WFDS) application service platform (ASP). A wireless docking center device may include a memory, and at least one processor configured to authenticate a wireless dockee to a wireless docking service of a wireless docking center using a Wi-Fi direct service (WFDS) application service platform (ASP).

Abstract:
In one example, a method includes determining, by a wireless dockee (WD), one or more wireless docking environments (WDNs) associated with a wireless docking center (WDC), wherein each WDN of the one or more WDNs corresponds to at least one peripheral function (PF) of one or more PFs that are each associated with the WDC. In this example, the method also includes wirelessly accessing, by the WD, a respective at least one PF corresponding to a particular WDN of the one or more WDNs associated with the WDC.
