  • Patent number: 11451360
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may utilize priority levels associated with packets or transmissions to determine whether to transmit feedback for a received transmission. The UE may compare priority levels between a transmission subject to a feedback condition and a transmission scheduled to be received when the feedback is scheduled to be transmitted to determine whether to send the feedback. The UE may communicate with the transmitting device according to the comparison and the determining.

  • Patent number: 11432347
    Abstract: An embodiment includes peer-to-peer (P2P) pairing protocols that mutually authenticate both end points and do not rely upon a backend server or a central certificate provisioning server. An embodiment provides a persistent control path for sending inter-peer control information (e.g., synchronization messages). Another inter-peer path includes an “on-demand” data path enabled when a unit determines content is ready for sharing. After the content is shared, the data path may be deconstructed, which saves resources on both sides and makes the framework more scalable. Also, embodiments include graphical user avatars to whereby a first peer shares content with a second peer by dragging content over the avatar.
