Abstract:
A host device receives a Universal Serial Bus (USB) transfer request from a USB host driver, modifies the USB transfer request, encapsulates the modified USB transfer request for transmission via a wireless communication link, transmits the encapsulated modified USB transfer request to a wireless peripheral device via the wireless communication link, receives a transfer response that encapsulates a plurality of USB transfer responses from the wireless peripheral device via the wireless communication link, decapsulates the encapsulated transfer response, and transmits each of the plurality of USB transfer responses to the USB host driver.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides a method, apparatus, and computer program product directed towards enabling internet protocol (IP) connectivity across multi-hop wireless networks. A virtual adapter is generated to facilitate creating a virtual link layer between a virtual link layer node and at least one other virtual link layer node. The virtual link layer is then interfaced with an IP layer via the virtual adapter, such that data transmitted over the virtual link layer is accessible to the IP layer via the virtual adapter.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes wireless communication techniques, protocols, methods, and devices applicable to a docking system environment in which aspects of wireless docking may function using vicinity-based undocking techniques. In some examples, the techniques of this disclosure enable a wireless docking center to undock a wireless dockee in a situation where a wireless dockee moves out of the vicinity of a wireless docking center so as to prevent malicious users from using peripheral devices available through the wireless docking center to interact with the wireless dockee without the wireless dockee user's knowledge. In other examples, the wireless dockee may undock itself from a wireless docking center when the wireless dockee moves out of the vicinity of a wireless docking center.
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:
An apparatus comprising a first wireless computing device further comprises a first a memory and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to: establish a Wi-Fi Direct Services (WFDS) connection to a second wireless computing device via a wireless communication channel, responsive to establishing the WFDS connection, establish a WFDS Application Service Platform (ASP) session between the first wireless computing device and the second wireless computing device, wherein the ASP session uses data link layer communications based on media access control (MAC) addresses via the WFDS connection, and does not use internet protocol (IP) communications, and responsive to establishing the ASP session, communicate to the second wireless computing device, using the ASP session.
Abstract:
A method includes establishing, by a wireless docking center, a secure wireless communication connection with a wireless dockee, receiving, by the wireless docking center, from the wireless dockee, an ASP session request for a wireless docking service of the wireless docking center, receiving, by the wireless docking center, from the wireless dockee, a passphrase for authenticating with the wireless docking service, determining, by the wireless docking center, whether the wireless dockee is authorized to access the wireless docking service based on the received passphrase, responsive to determining that the wireless dockee is not authorized to access the wireless docking service, denying, by the wireless docking center, the wireless dockee access to the wireless docking service, and responsive to determining that the wireless dockee is authorized to access the wireless docking service, granting, by the wireless docking center, the wireless dockee access to the wireless docking service.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes a method of transmitting media data from a source device, the method comprising establishing, with the source device, a first communication session between the source device and a sink device comprising a vehicle head unit, wherein the first communication session conforms to a communication protocol. The method also comprises discovering, with the source device and by the first communication session, the sink device. The method further comprises, during operation of the first communication session, establishing with the source device a second communication session between the source device and the sink device, wherein the second communication session conforms to a wireless display protocol. The method also comprises transmitting, using the second communication session, media data from the source device to the sink device for output to an interface of the sink device.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure enable a docking procedure where a dockee, when docking with a docking host that manages a docking environment, can become directly paired with the peripherals in the docking environment in a straightforward fashion. According to one example, a dockee may transmit a peripheral direct connect request to a docking host. In response, the docking host can send a peripheral direct pair request to the peripheral and a peripheral direct connect response to the dockee, where each message includes respective information to enable the direct pairing between the dockee and the peripheral. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
Abstract:
Aspects of this disclosure relate to data transfer. In an example, aspects of this disclosure include a method that includes generating, at a host device, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) redirect configuration request for establishing a connection between a first USB device connected to a USB hub and a second USB device connected to the USB hub, wherein the connection between the first USB device and the second USB device does not include the host device. The method also includes requesting, after the connection between the first USB device and the second USB device has been established, data to be routed from the first USB device to the second USB device via the USB hub.
Abstract:
A wireless source and an automobile dashboard configured to function as a wireless sink device are configured to communicate with one another including authenticating the source device for communications with the dashboard sink, transmitting user inputs received at the dashboard sink back to the wireless source device to enable a user to control the source device and interact with and control the content that is being transmitted from the source device to the dashboard sink, controlling the operational state of the source device based on the operational state of the automobile in which the dashboard sink is arranged, and transmitting data generated by the automobile from the dashboard sink to the source device so as to enable the source device to process at least some of the data.
