Abstract: The apparatus of a first wireless communication device includes memory comprising instructions and processing circuitry coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry is to implement the instructions to establish a wireless connection between the first wireless communication device and a second wireless communication device according to a wireless connectivity protocol, establish, using the wireless connectivity protocol, a location profile communication cluster including the first device and the second device, and within the communication cluster: process a message from the second device including location information and determine a provision of location services for the cluster based on the location information.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums that provide location based services such as navigation in an indoor space by utilizing a network of specially configured locator nodes (LNs) and the identified line of sight (LOS) relationships between the LNs. The LOS relationships may be automatically learned by the LNs.

Abstract: A method and system for time synchronization in a mobile device are disclosed. The method includes negotiating a synchronization schedule. The synchronization schedule defines a plurality of synchronization times for receiving synchronization messages. The method further includes transitioning the mobile device from a first state to a second state to receive a synchronization message. The mobile device uses less power in the first state than the second state and the mobile device cannot receive the synchronization message when in the first state. The method further includes synchronizing a clock component in response to receiving the synchronization message.

Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of collaboratively correct location errors. For example, a device may include a collaborative location error corrector to collaboratively correct location errors for at least one group of two or more wireless communication devices, the location error corrector is to receive from at least a first wireless communication device of the group an error report indicating an error in an estimated location of the first wireless communication device, to determine correction information based at least on the error report from the first wireless communication device, and to provide the correction information to at least a second wireless communication device of the group.

Abstract: A system and method for the distribution of time signals is available for devices with multiple communication cores. An embodiment may or may not use a centralized manager for the management of time preservation. When a communication core in a multiple communication core device requires timing information, it may request the time information from another communication core or from the centralized manager. The centralized manager, if present, can obtain time information from an external source or from one of the communication cores. The result can be reduced power consumption at a lower cost.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for offloading services and functionalities from a main host central processing unit (CPU) of a computing device to a dedicated power-efficient offload engine, thereby enabling a longer battery life for the device and an enhanced set of features.
