Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to connecting wireless devices based on a correlation between different audio sources. For example, according to various aspects, a first wireless device may capture sound via a microphone and receive audio content from a second wireless device via a wireless receiver. Accordingly, a wireless connection may be established between the first and second wireless devices based on a substantial match between the sound captured via the microphone and the audio content received via the wireless receiver. For example, the sound captured via the microphone may be output from a speaker on the second wireless device. In other examples, the received audio content may be sound captured via a local microphone at the second wireless device. In either case, the correlation between the audio received through the microphone and the audio content received over a radio may substantially simplify the procedure(s) used to connect two audio-enabled devices.

Abstract: A method for muting a Bluetooth device is described. The method includes receiving, by a Bluetooth controller of the Bluetooth device, a mute remote microphone message from a peer Bluetooth device. The method also includes disabling audio transmission functionality of the Bluetooth device. The Bluetooth device may also receive a disable remote mute message from the peer Bluetooth device and enable the audio transmission functionality of the Bluetooth device.

Abstract: Systems and methods related to a wireless communication system include detection of and protection from relay-in-the-middle attacks. A first wireless device receives a data packet transmitted by a second wireless device and determines whether the data packet includes a jitter introduced by the second wireless device based on a function of a shared key between the first wireless device and the second wireless device. The first wireless device determines whether a relay-in-the-middle attack is present between the first wireless device and the second wireless device based on whether the data packet includes the jitter. The first wireless device may withhold transmission of sensitive messages based on a determination that the relay-in-the-middle attack is present.

Abstract: Systems and methods for provisioning devices to access a wireless communication network are described. This provisioning is based upon a correlation between a first time value when operating power is applied to a first device, and a second time value when operating power is applied to a second device. These two time values may be compared using messaging between the two devices, and provisioning information may be transmitted from one device to another based upon an observed correlation between the two time values.

Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to discovering trusted remote devices and establishing trusted communications with trusted remote devices. A local device can determine one or more time periods of expected silence in a communication between the local device and a remote device; and embed trusted communication messages in the one or more time periods for at least one of: discovering that the remote device is a trusted remote device, performing a trusted communication with the trusted remote device. The communication may be based on a Bluetooth protocol in a link layer.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for operating a surveillance system and managing beacon-augmented surveillance data. A surveillance system may include a camera, a controller, and a transceiver. The camera may be configured to generate image data. The controller may be configured to generate image metadata that indicates a surveillance system identifier, upload the image data and the image metadata to a server, and generate a beacon that indicates the surveillance system identifier. The transceiver may be configured to transmit the beacon.

Abstract: A method for reducing power consumption is described. The method includes negotiating a receive window of a slave wireless device. The method also includes exchanging timing uncertainty information relating to a clock of the slave wireless device and a clock of the master wireless device. The method further includes transmitting a packet multiple times on a same frequency based on the receive window and the timing uncertainty information.

Abstract: Packets are communicated between a first device and a second device, over a primary data channel, according to an interval. The first device receives over the primary data channel a request from the second device to establish a secondary data channel. The request includes secondary connection parameters including an offset relative to events on the primary data channel, and a sub-interval relative to the interval. Acknowledgement is exchanged and the first and second devices communicate over the secondary data channel according to the secondary connection parameters.

Abstract: A packet is received at a device, over a connection between the device and another device indicating suspending the connection. The device suspends the connection and stores a suspended connection attribute record having connection attributes for resuming the connection. The device receives an advertisement packet having a resume suspended connection request, and determines if the resume suspended connection request is a request to resume the connection associated with the suspended connection attribute record. If determining is affirmative, the device resumes the connection according to the stored connection attributes.

Abstract: Automatically discovering and re-establishing wireless connections to other devices in a mobile computing environment (MCE) may be achieved by monitoring connections of different devices with the UE, correlating the connections of the different devices, determining an MCE based on the correlations, and storing information associated with the MCE. A known MCE may accordingly be automatically detected based on an identification of at least one of the different devices, for example, and connection with one or more of the different devices may be automatically re-established to re-establish the MCE based on the stored information.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a wireless device for Bluetooth Low Energy technology utilizes interlaced advertising and scanning on a same advertising channel to improve power efficiency. In an embodiment, a device transmits an advertising packet on an advertising channel, waits for an inter frame space, listens for any connection request or scan request during a listening time slot, and upon not receiving a connection request or scan request, begins a scanning window on the same advertising channel to listen to advertising packets. If no advertising packets are received, the advertising channel is incremented and the process of interlaced advertising and scanning begins again.
