    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for dynamic selection of a primary wireless earbud device. In one embodiment, an example system may include a first wireless earbud device having first memory and at least one first processor configured to access the first memory. The at least one first processor may execute computer-executable instructions to determine a first RSSI value for a first connection to a device, determine a first packet error rate value for the first connection, and determine a first link quality score using the first RSSI value and the first packet error rate value. The at least one first processor may execute computer-executable instructions to determine that the first link quality score is less than or equal to a handover threshold, disconnect from the device, and cause a second wireless earbud device to establish a second connection to the device.

    Abstract: Technologies directed to improving power for wireless transceivers are described. One method processes, in a first power mode, a first portion of a data packet, the first portion being modulated with a FSK modulation. The method determines a first gain value for an amplifier and determines that the first data packet has a second portion that is modulated with a PSK modulation. The method determines a receive signal strength indicator (RSSI) value associated with the first portion and determines that the RSSI does not exceed a threshold value corresponding to a throughput requirement. The method switches to a second power mode, the second power mode being higher in power than the first power mode. The method determines, in the second power mode, a second gain value for the amplifier and process the second portion of the first data packet. The second gain value is determined before the processing the second portion.

    Abstract: Technologies directed to improving power for wireless transceivers are described. One method receives, in a low power mode, a data packet over a wireless link and determines a RSSI value and a receive signal quality indicator (RSQI) value. The method stores a record with the RSSI and RSQI values in memory. The method determines an average RSSI value and an average RSQI value from historical RSSI and RSQI values, respectively, stored in records. The method categorizes received data in a first channel quality indicator (CQI) category using the average RSSI value and the average RSQI value and configures the wireless device to operate in another power mode, responsive to the data being in the first CQI. The method processes a subsequent data packet while in the other power mode. In some cases, the other power mode is less than a maximum power mode specified by a wireless standard.

    Abstract: The disclosure describes techniques for the isochronous transfer of data between a central device and one or more peripheral devices. For example, the central device may comprise any type of electronic device that is able to distribute data to peripheral devices using a wireless protocol. The isochronous transfer of data from the central device may provide an efficient method for wirelessly delivering data to multiple peripheral devices in an alternating pattern. In some examples, the isochronous transfer of data may help ensure that the peripheral devices receive timely and successful data transfers, improving the overall performance of the network of devices.

    Abstract: Technologies directed to improving signal quality in received wireless signals in the phase domain of shift keying demodulation are described. One method receives digital data, the digital data including a systematic error as a linear function of residual carrier frequency offset and phase noise (PN). The method extracts first phase data from the digital data, determines, in a phase domain, an estimate of the systematic error using historical phase error data of additional digital data received prior to the digital data, and generate second phase data by subtracting the estimate from the first phase data. The method determines a set of symbols from the second phase data and generates a bit sequence of a data packet from the set of symbols.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for using presence detection in order to switch between power modes of a display device. For instance, the display device may operate in a first power mode by deactivating a display. While operating in the first power mode, the display device may use a sensor to detect a presence of a possible object. The display device may then switch to a second power mode in order to verify that the possible object is an actual object. In response, the display device may switch to a third power mode by at least activating the display and presenting a user interface using the display. The display device may then receive an interaction. In response, the display device may switch to a fourth power mode by at least presenting content.
