Abstract: A technique to send service period allocation from a network control point to a plurality of stations using an Announce frame of a 60 GHz DBand specification. The use of the Announce frame ensures that the control point receives confirmation of the service period allocation assigned to the stations before data transfer is permitted between the stations.

Abstract: System and method for active scanning of wireless channels is described. An example method may include transmitting, by a first wireless device, a request to enter a sleep mode and a sleep mode schedule to a second wireless device, the sleep mode schedule specifying a sleep period for the first wireless device going to sleep, and scanning one or more wireless channels, by the first wireless device after transmitting the sleep mode schedule and during the sleep period, to find a third wireless device for communication with the first wireless device. The method may also include communicating, by the first wireless device, during the sleep period, with the third wireless device. Such a scan may be a passive scan or an active scan.

Abstract: According to one disclosed embodiment, a method for allocating bandwidth for data transmission time between high-speed wireless devices includes providing beacon intervals to accommodate allocation of data transmissions, each beacon interval including a data transmission time (DTT) interval, dividing all DTT intervals into timeslots of substantially uniform duration, and allocating an integer multiple of the timeslots to each of a plurality of service periods for timed data transmission. Such a method may further include allocating each service period of an isochronous traffic stream to begin the same number of timeslots from the beginning of its beacon interval, dividing the allocation of an asynchronous traffic stream over its allocation period by allocating an equal number of timeslots to a service period in each beacon interval within the allocation period, and de-allocating one or more service periods by marking as unallocated timeslots previously allocated to those service periods.

Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for execution by a core of a peripheral component to provide power management for a data bus in a electronic device, suhc as a mobile electronic device. One method comprises determining whether a device in the peripheral component is inactive, transmitting a request for deactivation of at least one data channel to the device, receiving a command to deactivate the at least one data channel, determining whether any remaining devices in the peripheral component are active, and placing the peripheral component in a first low power mode wherein the core remains active in order to monitor a data bus clock.

Abstract: A method and system for executing a software application having a binary size that is larger than an available memory space in an embedded system from which the software application will execute. The software application is split into one or more initialization sequences and a main code sequence. The method includes loading (302) each initialization sequence of the one or more initialization sequences in the memory space prior to its execution, and executing (304) each initialization sequence of the one or more initialization sequences out of the memory space. Further, the method includes loading (306) the main code sequence in the memory space after the execution of the one or more initialization codes and then executing (308) the main code sequence out of the memory space.
