Abstract:
A sink device in a Wireless Display (WD) system may establish a user input device control communication channel between a source device and sink device in a WD system to allow the sink device to send device control inputs to the source device. The user input device control communication channel may include a reverse channel architecture referred to as the Wi-Fi User Input Back Channel (UIBC) that has been modified to transport one or more additional input types over UDP. For example, UIBC may be extended to transport voice input and VNC input types.
Abstract:
Source and sink devices are adapted to facilitate streaming of screen content data over a USB communication channel. According to one example, a source device can capture GPU-executable video data at an input of a GPU, and transmit a graphics domain data frame including the captured video data on a data plane of a USB communication channel. Further, a command message may be transmitted on a management plane of the USB communication channel. The sink device may receive the graphics domain data frame with the captured video data on the data plane, and may receive the command message on the management plane. The sink device may render and display the video data. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides methods, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for setting parameters pertaining to service period (SP) for reduced latency in wireless communication. The apparatus may determine whether an amount of data at a medium access control (MAC) layer at the apparatus exceeds a maximum amount of data transmittable in a single transmission opportunity (TXOP). If so, the apparatus sets a duration of the SP for transmission of the data to be greater than or equal to a duration required for transmitting the data, and the apparatus transmits the data during the set duration of the SP. The apparatus may also set a duration of a service period interval (SPI) to be greater than or equal to the duration of the SP and less than or equal to a duration for transmitting the data using the single TXOP. The data may be latency-sensitive data, such as isochronous data or interrupt data.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure provide for determining whether a condition is satisfied during a docking session with a dockee and transmitting data to the dockee when the condition is satisfied. The transmitted data may control a modality of the dockee. The modality of the dockee may include a behavior of one or more components of the dockee. In some configurations, the condition includes a predetermined user input to a peripheral device communicating with the docking station during the docking session. In some configurations, the condition includes another dockee being docked to the docking station, and the transmitted data controls the modality of the dockee such that the dockee communicates with the another dockee exclusively via the docking station. Additional aspects, embodiments, and features are also provided herein.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure provide for an apparatus configured for determining priority information associated with data traffic at an upper layer, mapping the data traffic to a queue at an intermediate layer based on the priority information determined at the upper layer, and mapping an endpoint associated with the queue to an access category (AC) at a lower layer based on the priority information determined at the upper layer. The priority information of the data traffic may be associated with a classification or type of data in the data traffic. The upper layer may be an application layer. The intermediate layer may be a protocol adaptation layer (PAL). The lower layer may be a media access control (MAC) layer. Various apparatuses, methods, computer-readable medium including similar features are also provided herein. Additional and alternative aspects, embodiments, and features are also provided herein.
Abstract:
In one example, a method for transmitting video data includes outputting, by a source device to a sink device, graphical commands and one or more texture elements that are renderable into video data. In this example, outputting a particular texture element of the one or more texture elements includes streaming, by the source device and to the sink device, a plurality of stages that each respectively correspond to a respective subset of pixels of the particular texture element.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure provide for a first device that may establish a wireless docking session with a second device. The first device may determine whether a profile of a second device matches a profile stored in the first device. When such a match exists, the first device may export data to the second device in a format associated with the profile of the second device. When such a match does not exist, the first device may provide an error message or export data to the second device in a format associated with a default profile of the first device. The profile may indicate an operating system, a peripheral component, a display size, a display resolution, a touch screen-capability, a font type, a user setting, a power source or availability, a hardware component, or a software module. Additional aspects, embodiments, and features are also provided herein.
Abstract:
In one example, a computing device is configured to operate as a first wireless docking center, the computing device comprising one or more processors configured to determine the computing device is proximate to a second wireless docking center; and in response to determining the computing device is proximate to the second wireless docking center, configure the computing device to communicate with the second wireless docking center via a wireless communication channel.
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:
In one example, a method includes receiving, from a user application and with a wireless docking service of a wireless docking communications stack executing on a computing device, a request to discover one or more peripheral functions within wireless communication range of the computing device. The method also includes, responsive to receiving the request, discovering, with the wireless docking service, the one or more peripheral functions without communicating with a wireless docking center. The method further includes consolidating the peripheral functions into a docking session for the user application. The method also includes, responsive to receiving the request, sending a docking session identifier and one or more respective references corresponding to the one or more peripheral functions to the user application.
