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:
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 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.
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:
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.
