Abstract: Logic may allocate time slots in a schedule with consideration of thermal dissipation capacities of non-PCP devices. Logic may determine the failure to use a full time slot allocation by a non-PCP device when the non-PCP device has more data to transmit. Logic may determine an adjustment for a schedule based upon duty cycle information provided by a non-PCP device. Logic may receive an indication of a duty cycle. Logic may determine an adjustment to a schedule based upon entrance of the non-PCP device into a power save mode during an incomplete communication with time remaining in the allocated time slot. Logic may determine a duty cycle based upon a thermal measurement. Logic may request a reduced duty cycle based upon a risk of reaching an overheat limit for a non-PCP device. And logic may request an increase in the duty cycle in response to favorable thermal characteristics.

Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, devices, systems and methods of triggering a wireless docking session between a mobile device and a wireless docking device. For example, an apparatus may include circuitry and logic configured to cause a mobile device to detect a wireless charging of the mobile device by a wireless docking device; and to, upon detection of the wireless charging, trigger a wireless docking session between the mobile device and the wireless docking device.

Abstract: A novel docking process introduces a new handshake scheme between a first device (referred to herein as the “Dockee”) and a docking device (referred to simply as the “Dock”) to communicate a user's intention to connect the Dockee and the Dock (i.e., dock the Dockee to the Dock). The handshake consists of two steps: 1) establish a connection over a near field communication (NFC) link to convey information about the docking event; and 2) establish a second connection over the Wireless Channel to connect the Dockee and the Dock. The first step delivers a one-time secure connection token to the Dock over the NFC channel. Further, the presence of the NFC channel establishes the physical proximity of the user to the Dock. During step 2, a new Information Element is introduced to deliver the token back to the Dockee to allow for authentication and “closure” of the handshake.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to methods, system and apparatus to optimize Quality of Service (QoS) for communications using Medium Agnostic Universal Serial Bus (MA USB) protocol. In one embodiment, assignment of specific QoS parameters for certain Endpoint is triggered by the platform running MA USB host once a specific usage model occurs. Once triggered, MA USB Host engages an MA USB Hub or Device in a two-way handshake to communicate QoS parameters. The two-way handshake includes transmitting an Update Endpoint Quality-of-Service (QoS) Request frame to the selected Endpoint Handles at the MA USB Device; and receiving an Update Endpoint QoS Response from the MA USB Device.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and devices to provide support for a hidden SSID in an 802.11ad or directional multi-gigabit (DMG) wireless network. An access point (AP) of the DMG network may be configured to explicitly signal the hidden SSID configuration by sending probe responses that signal the hidden SSID configuration and/or signaling the hidden SSID configuration in DMG beacons transmitted by the AP.
