Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure provide for detecting a condition indicating that a graphics processing unit (GPU) is in an unstable state while receiving GPU commands in a first wireless display mode, transmitting a GPU refresh request message and switching from the first wireless display mode to a second wireless display mode in response to detecting the condition, receiving data sufficient to reset the GPU from the unstable state to a stable state at a random access point (RAP) in a trace of the GPU commands, and switching from the second wireless display mode to the first wireless display mode after receiving the data. The GPU refresh request message may include information requesting the data sufficient to reset the GPU at an upcoming RAP in the trace of the GPU commands. Various other aspects are also provided throughout the present disclosure.
Abstract:
In one example, a method for processing video data includes receiving, by a sink device and from a source device, one or more graphical command tokens that are executable to render original video data; modifying, by the sink device, the graphical command tokens to generate modified graphical command tokens that are executable to render modified video data different from the original video data; and outputting, for presentation at a display operatively connected to the sink device, the modified video data.

Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques to improve a user experience in a Wireless Display (WD) system. The WD system includes a source device that provides media data to one or more sink devices. The techniques are directed toward reducing end-to-end latency in the WD system while improving video playback quality at the sink devices. More specifically, the techniques include low latency screen capture and buffering at the source device. For example, a processing pipeline of the source device may be configured to include minimum-size buffers between processing steps to reduce latency. The techniques include buffering a most recent frame update captured from the media data in the minimum-size buffers and dropping older frame updates when the minimum-size buffers are full. In addition, the processing pipeline may be configured to use hardware acceleration to retrieve the frame updates from the buffers for processing.
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 enable a docking host that manages a docking environment to establish an initial connection between the docking host and one or more wireless peripheral devices to perform functionality determination of the wireless peripherals devices. The docking host may store the results of the functionality and, upon receiving a request from a dockee to access the functionality that the docking host may provide, will update the results. In one aspect of the disclosed approach, the docking host may determine the current state of the wireless peripheral devices before advertising any functionality information to the dockee. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
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.
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:
As part of a communication session, a wireless source device can transmit audio and video data to a wireless sink device, and the wireless sink device can transmit user input data received at the wireless sink device back to the wireless source device. In this manner, a user of the wireless sink device can control the wireless source device and control the content that is being transmitted from the wireless source device to the wireless sink device. The user input data transmitted by the wireless sink device can be input data obtained at a third party device and forwarded to the wireless source device.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to graphics domain transmission methods that utilize an adaptive compression pipeline to achieve low latency screen mirroring between a source device and a sink device. A source device captures a plurality of graphics domain frames, each of the graphics domain frames including one or more graphics command tokens. The source device utilizes an adaptive compression pipeline to compress the graphics domain frames based on one or more characteristics of the frames, and the adaptive compression pipeline is configured to perform at least one of scalable texture streaming, frame-based prediction, frame dropping, or data compression. The source device transmits the compressed frames to a sink device, and displays a rendered image of the graphics domain frames in time synchronization with a corresponding rendered image of the compressed frames displayed at the sink device.
