Abstract: Technologies for improving enumeration of universal serial bus (USB) devices over a media agnostic USB (MAUSB) connection are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, an MAUSB device may send USB configuration data to a host compute device. The host compute device may then perform a virtual enumeration of the USB devices based on the USB configuration data without necessarily communicating with the USB devices. The MAUSB device may perform an enumeration of the USB devices on behalf of the host compute devices without necessarily communicating with the host compute device. The USB devices may not be aware or have any indication that the USB device is not communicating with the host compute device during the enumeration process. Such an approach may improve the latency of USB enumeration over an MAUSB connection.

Abstract: A method for operating a media agnostic universal serial bus (MAUSB) device includes a compute device having a link connection manager, a USB manager, and a state manager. The compute device establishes a link with a MAUSB device and a session with the MAUSB device. Subsequently to receipt of a sleep command for the compute device, the compute device transitions to a sleep state and terminates the link with the MAUSB device while keeping intact the session with the MAUSB device. The compute device transitions back to an active state in response to receipt of a wake command for the compute device. The compute device sends a wake request to the MAUSB device. If the MAUSB device responds to the wake request with an acceptance, then the compute device reestablishes the previous session with the MAUSB device. If instead an error is received, the compute device terminates the session.

Abstract: Certain embodiments herein relate to establishing a personal basic service set (PBSS) before negotiating formation of a peer-to-peer group. A device may discover candidate devices on a wireless network (e.g., operating in the sixty (60) Gigahertz (GHz) range), and may select a target device among the candidate devices with which to engage for establishing the PBSS and forming the peer-to-peer group. A time limit may be implemented for forming the peer-to-peer group, after which time the device or the target device may disengage and discover other devices with which they may engage to form a peer-to-peer group using a PBSS. Devices may conserve power during communication of peer-to-peer messages by virtue of using a PBSS to facilitate the peer-to-peer group formation, among other benefits.
