Patent number: 9485778Abstract: A system and method for peer-to-peer communications is disclosed. A first wireless device receives a message from a second wireless device identifying communication requirements of a point-to-point communication involving the second wireless device. The first wireless device determines whether the second wireless device's communication requirements can be satisfied based on communication resources already committed for other communications. When the communication requirements of the second wireless device can be satisfied, the first wireless device generates a time sharing schedule to be used by the first and second wireless devices based on the already-committed communication requirements and the second device's communication requirements. The time sharing schedule may include a first portion for broadcast communication among a group of devices to which the first and second wireless devices belong, and a second portion for the point-to-point communications of the second wireless devices.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2014Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Joakim Linde, Aarti Kumar, Christiaan A.

Publication number: 20160262056Abstract: A device may store a plurality of different coexistence profiles for different possible communication scenarios. The device may be initialized with a first one of the coexistence profiles, and may operate to dynamically switch to different ones of the coexistence profiles based on current conditions. Each coexistence profile may include a number of coexistence related parameters stored as a plurality of data structures. During device use, the device may dynamically select an appropriate coexistence profile based on the current communication conditions, such as Wi-Fi RSSI, Bluetooth RSSI, and/or the number of Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth devices with which communication is currently occurring, among other possible factors. The coexistence profile is selected to provide the best possible Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth output performance based on current conditions. The device may repeatedly dynamically select different coexistence profiles as conditions change, e.g.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2015Publication date: September 8, 2016Inventors: Camille Chen, Aarti Kumar, Vladimir Trukhin, Sarin S.

Publication number: 20160224453Abstract: A machine may be configured to monitor the quality of software systems based on key performance indicators associated with versions of various units of code. For example, the machine accesses a current version of a unit of code that is not marked as evaluated, in a database. The machine generates a current key performance indicator (KPI) value for the current version of the unit of code based on an execution of the current version of the unit of code. The machine identifies a previous KPI value associated with a previous version of the unit of code that is marked as evaluated, in the database. The machine determines that the current KPI value is less than the previous KPI value and generates an alert for presentation in a user interface of a device. The alert may indicate a decreasing quality level associated with the current version of the unit of code.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2015Publication date: August 4, 2016Inventors: Yi Wang, Sheng Zhao, Xian Li, Keith Wai Kit Tsang, Aarti Kumar, Alex Ching Lai

Publication number: 20160105488Abstract: A hybrid cloud computing system having a private data center and a public cloud computing system is discussed. The private data center is managed by a first organization. The public cloud computing system is managed by a second organization, and the first organization is a tenant in the public cloud computing system. The hybrid cloud computing system is configured to generate a mapping that contextualizes virtual objects migrated between the private data center and the public cloud computing system based on the objects' location. Such a mapping is maintained to expose the true hybridity of the hybrid cloud rather than present two distinct views of a private data center (or private cloud) and a public cloud.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2014Publication date: April 14, 2016Inventors: Sachin THAKKAR, Debashis BASAK, Serge MASKALIK, Mark Bryan WHIPPLE, Aarti Kumar GUPTA
