Abstract: A device implementing the Bluetooth packet transmit optimization with simultaneous channel sensing may include at least one processor configured to transmit a first packet over a first channel in a first time period; perform channel sensing on a second channel in a second time period subsequent to the first time period; apply a remedial action to a transmission of a second packet based on the channel sensing; and transmit the second packet following the applied remedial action. The subject system utilizes some of the following potential remedial actions, such as 1) deferring transmission of a next Bluetooth frame, 2) increasing the packet transmission power, and/or 3) modifying a transmission packet type or packet length. A method and computer program product implementing the subject Bluetooth packet transmit optimization is also provided.

Abstract: Wireless communication devices capable of both wireless local area network (WLAN) and Bluetooth (BT) network communication, and related methods, are provided. In some implementations, the BT network includes a plurality of BT connections. One wireless communication device is configured to determine an aggregated time schedule for the plurality of BT connections and determine a WLAN schedule based on the aggregated time schedule. The device is configured to remap a BT scan schedule based on a WLAN traffic type, a selected duty cycle of the BT connection, and a remapping window.

Abstract: A device includes circuitry configured to transmit advertisement data to one or more electronic devices at a first advertisement rate. A presence or absence of the electronic devices is detected within communication range of the device based on a detection signal received from at least one of the one or more electronic devices. A predetermined advertisement rate is modified to correspond to a second advertisement rate based on the presence or absence of the one or more electronic devices.

Abstract: A power transmitting device includes a processor circuit. The processor circuit receives messages, such as advertising messages and/or scan response messages, from power receiving devices. The messages include device specific data that pertains to the corresponding power receiving devices that transmitted the messages. The device specific data includes, for example, data pertaining to the hardware, firmware, charging state, and/or device state of the corresponding power receiving device. The processor circuit selects one of the power receiving devices based in part on the device specific data contained in the messages. The processor circuit initiates a wireless power transfer connection to the selected one of the power receiving devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed in which a controller enables communication between a Bluetooth®-wireless-protocol unaware host and a Bluetooth®-wireless-protocol enabled remote device. As such, one embodiment of the invention is a controller, which comprises a controller transport to enable communication of data with a Bluetooth®-wireless-protocol unaware host device. The controller further comprises a controller application and a controller Bluetooth® stack to enable communication of the data using Bluetooth® wireless protocol. One embodiment can be seen as a method comprising the steps of receiving data from a Bluetooth®-wireless-protocol unaware host, converting the received data to a Bluetooth® wireless protocol, and transmitting the converted data to a Bluetooth®-wireless-protocol enabled remote device.
