Abstract: Techniques are described for tunneling high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) data over a wireless connection from an HDMI-capable source device to a client device that is physically connected to an HDMI-capable sink device via an HDMI connector. The techniques enable wireless transmission of HDMI data without video compression by using an encapsulation scheme that maps HDMI audio and video channels into a transport stream format and maps HDMI side channels into an IP datagram for transmission over the wireless connection. The source device may operate as an HDMI controller and perform HDMI-based data, control, and security processing required for HDMI connectivity with the sink device via the client device. The client device, therefore, may be a “dummy” client device that does not perform HDMI-based processing, but acts as a wireless HDMI bridge to pass the HDMI data between the source device and the sink device.

Abstract: A device for transmitting data to a network includes a source subsystem and a communication subsystem. The source subsystem generates a first data packet that includes first timing information that is based on a time that the first data packet is generated. The first timing information is generated responsive to a first timing generator included in the source subsystem. The communication subsystem is coupled to the source subsystem via one or more abstraction layers and is configured to modify the first data packet to generate a modified data packet for transmission to the network. The modified data packet includes the first timing information and second timing information that is based on a time that the modified data packed is transmitted. The communications subsystem includes a second timing generator that is linked to the first timing generator through the one or more abstraction layers to generate the second timing information.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a collaborative demand-based dual-mode Wi-Fi network control framework that may optimize wireless power and performance on wireless devices that may support multiple Wi-Fi networking technologies. In particular, a high performance Wi-Fi link may be reserved to services or applications that have substantial quality of service (QoS) requirements and conventional Wi-Fi links may be utilized to transfer data for services or applications that have typical performance requirements. For example, bandwidth requirements associated with forward traffic may be measured according to sizes and latency requirements associated with the forward traffic and the appropriate Wi-Fi networking mode may be controlled according to the forward traffic bandwidth requirements in combination with the average bandwidth and average retransmission rate associated with the conventional Wi-Fi links, among other factors.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a media source transmits, to media presentation device(s) over a local wireless connection, media, a first key for decrypting the media and a second key for decrypting the first key. The second key is transmitted via a unicast protocol and is encrypted is based upon a point-to-point security framework (e.g., IPSec). The media presentation device(s) each decrypt the first key using the second key, and then decrypt the media using the decrypted first key. The media presentation device(s) then present at least a portion of the decrypted media.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer program products for using raw bitstreams and lossless distributed source coded (DSC) video to optimize video performance in wireless dock with ultra-high definition displays. In one aspect, a method of transmitting a video stream from a transmitting device to a wireless video display is described. The method includes determining a resolution of the wireless video display and a native resolution of a video stream, as well as a connection speed between the transmitting device and the wireless video display. Based on this information, the method selects a video compression format, choosing between raw video, DSC video, and high-efficiency video coded video. The method further transmits the video stream in the selected video compression format from the transmitting device to the wireless video display.

For example, the service discovery tasks offloaded to the low-power co-processor subsystem may be determined according to protocol-specific service descriptions associated with one or more services to be provided and/or consumed at a wireless device.

Operations of estimating a channel state, determining whether the estimated channel state satisfies an error threshold value, and generating an error log may be performed in one or more hardware modules of sink computing devices.
