Abstract: A dual-radio AP including both a high-power (e.g., Wi-Fi) radio and a low-power (e.g., BLE) radio may support an assisted wakeup service for a power-limited dual-radio mobile device (STA). The power-limited STA may register with the AP for the assisted wakeup service, and may then disable its Wi-Fi radio (or otherwise initiate a lower-power mode). The power-limited STA may receive a BLE communication indicating the AP has pending Wi-Fi transmissions or updates applicable to the power-limited STA. In response, the power-limited STA may turn on its Wi-Fi radio and receive the pending transmissions or updates from the AP. If an AP does not include a low-power radio, then a high-power/low-power dual-radio STA that is not power-limited may serve as an assisted wakeup service proxy. The proxy may scan and trace the Wi-Fi beacons from the AP, and generate the BLE communication to the power-limited STA on behalf of the AP.

Abstract: A device and method for determining the storage capacity of an electrical energy store, as for example a rechargeable battery, based on the phase of the complex impedance of the electrical energy store. The impedance of the electrical energy store is determined in that the energy store is loaded with a specified periodic load and the system response setting in as a result is ascertained. On the basis of the correlation between the phase of the complex impedance of the electrical energy store and the storage capacity of the electrical energy store, it is thereupon possible reliably and in a simple manner to ascertain the storage capacity of the electrical energy store.

Abstract: In some embodiments, one or more wireless stations operate to configure direct communication with neighboring wireless stations, e.g., direct communication between the wireless stations without utilizing an intermediate access point. Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a mechanism for a device to transmit, via a BTLE (or Bluetooth) interface, a first message indicating an operation associated with a Wi-Fi service (e.g., a service available via a Wi-Fi interface and/or Wi-Fi related interface parameters) to a peer device. The first message may include a service hash that indicates the operation. The service hash may be included in a first data structure. The first data structure may indicate availability of the Wi-Fi service. The device may receive a second message from the peer device indicating that the neighboring wireless station intends to subscribe to or provide the Wi-Fi service, e.g., via Wi-Fi peer-to-peer communications.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for mitigating coexistence interference in a wireless device between a WLAN interface and a WPAN interface during a WLAN authentication process. The wireless device associates with a WLAN access point (AP), and after receiving a WLAN association response from the WLAN AP, the wireless device alternates between WLAN time periods, during which WLAN transmission is enabled and WPAN transmission is disabled, and WPAN time periods, during which WPAN transmission is enabled and WLAN transmission is disabled, during the WLAN authentication process. Durations of the WPAN time periods are based at least in part on a WPAN profile, e.g., a Bluetooth profile, in use by the wireless device. Durations of the WLAN time periods are based at least in part on receipt of WLAN authentication messages from the WLAN AP during the authentication process or expiration of WLAN authentication process timers.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for managing coexistence of multiple wireless devices that share a radio frequency band and communicate with a wireless network device. The wireless devices include both wireless personal area network (WPAN) and wireless local area network (WLAN) devices. The wireless network device monitors data activity for WPAN devices to determine whether the WPAN devices are active or inactive, and sets one or more polling intervals for the WPAN devices accordingly. The wireless network device consolidates polling for multiple WPAN devices into a common WPAN polling time period and sends a radio frequency (RF) reservation request to a WLAN access point (AP), the RF reservation request including an indication of a duration for the common WPAN polling time period, during which the multiple WPAN devices are polled. WLAN data packet transmission is delayed during the common WPAN polling time period to mitigate coexistence interference.

Abstract: In embodiments, a client station operates to identify and prioritize time-sensitive short-range wireless packets, such as time-sensitive Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) packets, in a congested wireless environment. The client station may identify time-sensitive packets using, e.g., the type of device providing the packets, a state of the device providing the packets, and/or the type of data included in the packets. The client station may prioritize the time-sensitive packets in various ways, including by providing priority scheduling to the time-sensitive packets; pausing communication of other types of Bluetooth packets, such as A2DP packets; reducing a data rate of other types of Bluetooth packets, such as A2DP packets; and/or extending a data packet size of time-sensitive BTLE packets. The time-sensitive packets may thus be prioritized over packets associated with the same wireless protocol and/or a different wireless protocol.

Abstract: In the subject system for Bluetooth audio role-based scheduling, an electronic device (e.g., a mobile phone), may receive streaming audio over a cellular connection, e.g. LTE, and may stream the audio to a head unit of a vehicle, e.g. via Bluetooth. The electronic device may also concurrently communicate with other electronic devices via, e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and/or BTLE. The electronic device may determine the Bluetooth/communication capabilities of the HU device, such as buffer size, and the electronic device may proactively configure Bluetooth settings/parameters for communicating with the HU device based on the capabilities of the HU device. The electronic device may also adaptively modify scheduling for communications with other electronic devices based on the determined capabilities of the HU device.
