Abstract: Techniques are described for multi-layer interference detection. The method can include transmitting data to a system using a connection on a wireless network, the system configured to provide access to a functionality of a device. The method can further include accessing at least one of link quality monitoring (LQM) information from a medium access control layer of the user device or transmission control protocol (TCP) information from a transport layer of the device during a presentation of data by the system. The method can further include determining that the wireless network is experiencing interference based at least in part on the LQM information or TCP information. The method can further include generating interference information based at least in part on determining that the wireless network is experiencing the interference. The method can further include transmitting the interference information to the system during the presentation of data by the system.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are presented to facilitate coexistence between multiple wireless communication protocols implemented by a wireless communication device, by dynamically adjusting priority between the two protocols. The wireless communication device may typically favor a first protocol (e.g. Bluetooth/BTLE), prioritizing resource requests by the first protocol. In certain use cases, the first protocol may demand high resource usage for an extended time, particularly for newer tracking and wearable devices, such as location tags, watches, headsets, etc. Such applications can disrupt existing use cases for a second protocol (e.g., Wi-Fi). Therefore, the wireless communication device may dynamically determine whether the second protocol is performing critical operations, such as latency-sensitive applications or high-performance operations. If so, the wireless communication device may allocate resources accordingly in real time, e.g.

Abstract: A mobile computing device is configured to dynamically aggregate wireless communications on a common antenna. The device determines that a WiFi communication in a first frequency band is associated with an antenna, the WiFi communication having a number of assigned transmission time slots. The device determines that a second wireless communication in a second frequency band also is associated with the antenna, and determines a periodicity and/or a media quality of the second wireless communication. Based on the periodicity and/or media quality of the second wireless communication, the device aggregates the WiFi communication and the second wireless communication, the aggregation comprising assigning a number of packets of the second wireless communication to an aggregation frame of a plurality of frames associated with the transmission time slots assigned to the WiFi communication.

Abstract: A consumer appliance or product having a Wi-Fi embedded device may be connected to a wireless local area network (WLAN) without users having to change networks on their “personal device” e.g., personal computer, tablet computer, smart phone, etc., or having to access the Wi-Fi embedded device in any way, e.g., transparent setup and connection to the user. A specially transmitted data packet, beacon, or other broadcast packet from a client connected to wireless local area network (WLAN) may be used to send an encrypted equivalent of a last stage Wi-Fi protected setup (WPS) transfer that provides network commissioning information to the Wi-Fi embedded device so that it may automatically connect to the WLAN.
