Abstract: A power control method for device-to-device communication includes dynamically backing off transmit power value for synchronization signals and discovery messages when the distance between the two devices is less than a pre-determined threshold. The threshold distance may correspond to a distance where the receive power may exceed a pre-determined value. Embodiments may loop the transmit power of synchronization signals between a default transmit power value and backed-off values in consecutive slots of each frame.

Abstract: An inductive power transmission system electromagnetic field shielding apparatus includes an enclosure. The enclosure is configured to surround an electronic device and an inductive power transmitter that inductively transmits power to the electronic device. A communication window or high pass filter is formed in the enclosure. The communication window may include an arrangement of one or more conductive materials defining one or more apertures. The enclosure and the communication window block passage of magnetic flux generated by the inductive power transmitter. The communication window allows passage of communication transmissions associated with the electronic device.

Abstract: A host device is configured to increase the power output by an internal amplifier of its wireless chipset in response to requests from a remote device. Once the internal amplifier has reached its maximum power, further requests for power increases from the remove device do not similarly lead to automatic power increases being delivered by a external amplifier of the host device. Rather, the host device determines the strength of the link between it and the remote device. If the signal strength is too low, it is an indication that the signal power output by the remote device may not be sufficient to maintain the link and that any further increases in signal power by the host device will have little or no effect on the link. However, if the signal strength from the remote device is sufficient, the host device determines an error rate between it and the remote device. If the error rate is sufficiently low to maintain the link, then the host device will not further increase its signal output power. However, if the error rate is too high, the host device will turn on and/or increase power from its external amplifier to boost the power of its output signal and, thus, improve the error rate between it and the remote device.

Abstract: A wireless network may include devices that wirelessly transmit and receive packets. Each packet may include a preamble, a start-of-frame delimiter, a physical layer header, a sequence of symbols between the start-of-frame delimiter and the physical layer header, and a data payload. The sequence of symbols may have a pattern that is resistant to spoofing attacks. A receiving device may have a correlator that correlates known symbols against the symbols in the sequence using overlapping three-symbol-length correlation windows. Early arrival peaks in the output of the correlator may be used to correct time stamp information in the packets and late arrival peaks corresponding to spoofed signals from an attacker may be ignored. Time stamp information may be processed to determine ranges between transmitting and receiving devices.

Abstract: An electronic device may include wireless circuitry that is configured to transmit wireless signals during operation. A maximum transmit power level may be established that serves as a cap on how much power is transmitted from the electronic device. Adjustments may be made to the maximum transmit power level in real time based on sensor signals and other information on the operating state of the electronic device. The sensor signals may include motion signals from an accelerometer. The sensor signals may also include ultrasonic sound detected by a microphone. Device orientation data may be used by the device to select whether to measure the ultrasonic sound using a front facing or rear facing microphone. Maximum transmit power level may also be adjusted based on whether or not sound is playing through an ear speaker in the device.

Abstract: Electronic devices may be provided that contain wireless communications circuitry. The wireless communications circuitry may include radio-frequency transceiver circuitry and first and second antennas. An electronic device may include a housing. The first antenna may be located at an upper end of the housing and the second antenna may be located at a lower end of the housing. A peripheral conductive member may run around the edges of the housing and may be used in forming the first and second antennas. The radio-frequency transceiver circuitry may have a transmit-receive port and a receive port. Switching circuitry may connect the first antenna to the transmit-receive port and the second antenna to the receiver port or may connect the first antenna to the receive port and the second antenna to the transmit-receive port.
