Abstract: For example, an MA USB host of an MA USB PAL may be configured to process a request message from a USBDI of a USB host for a real time data transfer to be delivered between the USB host and a USB device EP; based on the request message, transmit at least one real time transfer request to an MA USB device of the MA USB PAL, a header of the real time transfer request including a request ID field to identify the real time data transfer, and a delivery time field to indicate a delivery time to complete delivery of the real time data transfer; and, based on a determination that the real time data transfer is not to be completed by the delivery time, send a response to the USBDI, the response including an error indication to indicate failure of the real time data transfer.

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: Apparatus, systems, articles of manufacture, and methods for processing video in virtual reality environments are disclosed. An example virtual reality display device to process video in a virtual reality environment includes a video analyzer to detect unsmooth video data in the stream of video data and a video library to provide alternative video data. The example device also includes a selector to receive the stream of video data, an indication of the unsmooth video data, and the alternative video data. The selector is to select the alternative video data to replace the unsmooth video data based on the indication of the unsmooth video data and output a modified stream of video data including the stream of video data with the alternative video data in place of the unsmooth video data. The example device also includes an output display to display the modified stream of video data.

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.

Sequence numbers of corresponding data frames to be transmitted by the communication device can be generated. Further, the data frames and corresponding sequence numbers can be allocated to the first and the second communication protocols based on the allocation information.

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.

The apparatus receives a distributed common time reference and uses this to timestamp the captured events.

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.
