Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. A source device of a wireless local area network (WLAN) may identify one or more attributes of a first wireless link and a second wireless link between the source device and a sink device of the WLAN. The one or more attributes may be compared with a source device connection policy associated with a streaming protocol. The source device may determine whether to establish a streaming session with the sink device over the first wireless link or the second wireless link based at least in part on the comparing.
Abstract:
Methods, devices, systems, and non-transitory process-readable storage media for scalable data service distribution in a wireless network. A processor of a source computing device in a wireless network, such as a WiFi Miracast® network, may group all sink computing devices scheduled to receive a frame or packet of a service into a single multicast group and transmit a multicast frame or packet to the sink computing devices. Individual sink computing devices in the network may be configured to send error logs indicating the quality of their respective wireless connections with a source computing device to the source computing device. Operations of estimating a channel state, determining whether the estimated channel state satisfies an error threshold value, and generating an error log may be performed in one or more hardware modules of sink computing devices.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, apparatuses, and devices are described for synchronizing timing of wireless streaming transmissions to multiple sink devices. A source device may identify timing information associated with a common timing source, e.g., a media timing source at Multimedia layer or a Wi-Fi timing source, and send the timing information to the sink devices. The sink devices may receive the timing information and determine a composite timing delay, e.g., a wireless transmission link delay, an internal interface link delay, or combinations thereof. The source device may stream the content to the sink devices which may use a locally adjusted timing signal to synchronize the presentation of the content.
Abstract:
Some aspects of the present application include a wearable, see-through display device. The device includes a source of video information and a micro-display configured to receive video information from the source of video information and to project light forming an image based on the video information. The device also includes a lens system comprising one or more lenses, the lens system configured to receive and collimate light from the micro-display and to propagate the light from the micro-display to an image guide and the image guide positioned to receive light from the lens system and direct the received light to a partial reflector. The device also includes a partial reflector configured to reflect the light received from the image guide out of the display device towards a place where an eye of a user wearing the see-through display device may be positioned.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for remote display of content in a wireless network. A source device capable of displaying content may identify one or more rendering instructions for content to be displayed remotely on a sink device. The source device may transmit the one or more rendering instructions to the sink device via a wireless peer-to-peer connection. The sink device may receive the one or more rendering instructions and may execute the one or more rendering instructions to render a display of at least part of the content. Further, the source device may receive data from the sink device via the wireless peer-to-peer connection. The identifying of the one or more rendering instructions by the source device may thus include identifying at least one rendering instruction based at least in part on the received data.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for service discovery and session establishment framework to enable a synchronous audio/video streaming service from a source to multiple sink devices. In accordance with the present disclosure, a plurality of sink devices (e.g., Wi-Fi speakers) may be deployed in a flexible (e.g., plug-and-play) fashion and may be discoverable by the source device. In some examples, the devices from multiple vendors may interoperate and easily connect with the source device for flexible configuration based on the media content or number of available sink devices. Thus, the present disclosure provides a method for service specific discovery associated with synchronous audio/video streaming by utilizing Application Service Platform (ASP) service discovery prior to establishment of a display service session from a source device to multiple sink devices.

Abstract:
A device for transmitting data to a network includes a source subsystem and a communication subsystem. The source subsystem generates a first data packet that includes first timing information that is based on a time that the first data packet is generated. The first timing information is generated responsive to a first timing generator included in the source subsystem. The communication subsystem is coupled to the source subsystem via one or more abstraction layers and is configured to modify the first data packet to generate a modified data packet for transmission to the network. The modified data packet includes the first timing information and second timing information that is based on a time that the modified data packed is transmitted. The communications subsystem includes a second timing generator that is linked to the first timing generator through the one or more abstraction layers to generate the second timing information.

Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a collaborative demand-based dual-mode Wi-Fi network control framework that may optimize wireless power and performance on wireless devices that may support multiple Wi-Fi networking technologies. In particular, a high performance Wi-Fi link may be reserved to services or applications that have substantial quality of service (QoS) requirements and conventional Wi-Fi links may be utilized to transfer data for services or applications that have typical performance requirements. For example, bandwidth requirements associated with forward traffic may be measured according to sizes and latency requirements associated with the forward traffic and the appropriate Wi-Fi networking mode may be controlled according to the forward traffic bandwidth requirements in combination with the average bandwidth and average retransmission rate associated with the conventional Wi-Fi links, among other factors. Furthermore, when no forward traffic needs to be transmitted, all Wi-Fi subsystems may enter a low power state.
