Abstract: In one example, a communication device is described, which includes at least one antenna and a wireless communication module communicatively coupled to the at least one antenna. The wireless communication module may include a processing unit to search another device within a signal range via the at least one antenna and establish a short-range wireless communication with the other device via a first radio frequency (RF) channel associated with a frequency band. Further, the processing unit may establish a long-range wireless communication with the other device via at least one second RF channel associated with the frequency band to transmit and receive data to and from the other device.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed in which smart routing of a signal from a Wi-Fi device to an Access Point (AP) is performed by consulting a dynamic mesh network of measured path information between entities in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). The WLAN consists of at least two possible paths between the Wi-Fi device and the AP, and each path may include one or N more sub-paths. The measured path information consists of Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) and Quality Indication (QI) measurements. The dynamic mesh network is generated by APs performing beamforming operations with other APs in the WLAN and obtaining distinct RSSI and QI for each measured path. The measured RSSI and QI of each path, for both the 2.4 and 5.0 GHz bands, is added to the mesh network. Wi-Fi devices entering the WLAN consult the mesh network to determine the optimum connectivity path to the AP, thus avoiding routing through an unnecessary number of additional APs as well as APs with an already heavy payload.

The microphone array includes a first microphone and a second microphone that collectively produce a beam to collect an audio sample from an audio source.

The processor tracks a position of the audio source relative to the computing device using microwave image processing and steers a direction of the beam in response to the position of the audio source.

Abstract: Examples of wireless charging of a computing system are described herein. In an example, a charging notification from a power transmit unit (PTU) in a power transfer field of the computing system may be received. In response to receiving the charging notification, it may be ascertained whether a near field communication (NFC) component of the computing system is in an active state for data communication. When the NFC component is in the active state, an input may be provided to switch the active state of the NFC component to an inactive state for disabling data communication through the NFC component.
