Abstract: Devices at either end of a wireless communication link are each configured to support multiple different link settings. During communication, a device that is receiving data can monitor the signal quality and initiate a dynamic transition to a new link setting if performance of the current link setting falls below a lower threshold or exceeds an upper threshold. Dynamic link adaptation can be implemented within a wireless communication interface of the device and can be transparent to application and/or operating system software executing on the device.

Abstract: Electronic devices may communicate with each other using a “conducted RF link.” Such a conducted RF link is essentially a link that utilizes a conductor or cable that facilitates communication between electronic devices. Instead of the conductor carrying a traditional signal, it carries a modulated RF signal, such as those produced by a typical wireless RF radio like presently available WiFi/Bluetooth® cores.

Abstract: In order to establish a connection between electronic devices, after receiving an advertising packet from another electronic device, an electronic device compares a performance metric associated with the communication with the other electronic device with a threshold value. Based on the comparison, the electronic device provides pairing-intent information specifying a pairing intent for the electronic device and the other electronic device for presentation by the other electronic device. Moreover, after receiving additional pairing-intent information specifying the pairing intent from the other electronic device, the electronic device establishes the connection with the other electronic device when the additional pairing-intent information matches the pairing-intent information. For example, the pairing intent may include a gesture and/or a sequence of one or more characters, and the additional pairing-intent information may include: the sequence of one or more characters; accelerometer data corresponding to the gesture; and/or user-interface data corresponding to the gesture.

Abstract: Dynamic antenna switching based on weighted signal to noise ratio (SNR). A wireless device may include multiple antennas. SNR at each active antenna may be calculated. An antenna-specific weight may be applied to each antenna's SNR. The antenna-specific weights may further be radio specific and/or transmit or receive specific in some cases. Antenna selection (possibly just for a specific radio and/or for transmit or receive operations, depending on the specificity of the antenna weights), including potentially switching which antenna is used, may be based on the resulting weighted SNR values for each antenna. If the antenna-specific weights are radio specific and/or transmit or receive operation specific, the method may be performed multiple times with different antenna-specific weights to select antenna(s) for different radios and/or for other operations.
