Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling a personal area network access device are disclosed herein. Aspects of the method may comprise receiving an application event associated with a particular application running on a complex Bluetooth® device that is running a plurality of simultaneous applications, and determining whether a low power mode is allowed by the particular application running on the complex Bluetooth® device. If the low power mode is allowed by the particular application running on the complex Bluetooth® device, the complex Bluetooth® device running the particular application may be configured to operate utilizing the allowed low power mode. The allowed low power mode may be switched by the complex Bluetooth® device based on the application event. An active mode may be switched from a current mode prior to switching to the allowed power mode based on the application event.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a system, apparatus, and method for providing anti-replay protection of data stored in a non-volatile memory device. Some embodiments describe an anti-replay protection (ARP) device that may protect an external non-volatile memory device from replay attacks.

Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling a plurality of personal area network access devices are disclosed herein. In a personal area network device, a new connection is received from another personal area network device in a personal area network. The new connection is associated with a first application having a first role preference. It is determined whether the first role preference conflicts with a current role. It is determined whether the first role preference conflicts with a second role preference associated with a second application using the current role. The current role is switched to a role specified in the first role preference in response to determining that the first role preference conflicts with the current role and that the first role preference does not conflict with the second role preference.

Abstract: According to the present invention, the bandwidth of a TDD channel is increased where multiple slave devices communicate with a master device over the channel. According to an aspect of the present invention, the master device can increase channel bandwidth by utilizing available transmit slots that occur during receipt of a multi-slot packet from a slave device. For example, the master device receives a first packet at a first frequency from a first slave via the channel. The master determines whether the first packet is a multi-slot packet, and if so, transmits a second packet to a second slave via the channel at a second frequency different from the first frequency. The second packet is transmitted after receipt of the first packet, but prior to the end of the first packet.

Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling a plurality of personal area network access devices are disclosed herein. Aspects of the method may comprise determining current roles for communicating complex Bluetooth® devices. In response to receiving a new connection, it may be determined whether to switch from at least one of the determined current roles based on stored role switching information. If a role switch is allowed, at least one new role may be switched based on the stored role switching information. Each of the determined current roles and the new role comprise a master only role, a slave only role, and/or “any” role, where the “any” role may comprise a master or slave role. If the “any” role is allowed, at least one of the master role and/or the slave role may be switched.
