Abstract: A client device may obtain a first measurement corresponding to a serving WLAN access point that uses a first channel. The client device may also obtain a second measurement corresponding to a target WLAN access point that uses a second channel. To facilitate intelligent wireless channel selection, the client device may weight at least one of the first measurement and the second measurement based on channel selection settings to obtain at least one weighted measurement. The client device may determine whether to roam from the serving WLAN access point to the target WLAN access point based on the at least one weighted measurement.

Abstract: A method for providing audio information to a user during display of video information includes, at a source device of the user, casting video information to an endpoint display device, identifying a first endpoint audio component of the endpoint display device, comparing one or more capabilities of the first endpoint audio component to one or more capabilities of a second endpoint audio component, selecting the second endpoint audio component as a preferred audio output device based on the comparison, and casting audio information to the preferred audio output device.

Abstract: A method of controlling wireless communication performance in an electronic device includes accessing data containing material properties relating to a plurality of materials, transmitting a first test signal on a first transmission channel with a first antenna at a first location in the electronic device, receiving the first test signal on the first transmission channel with a second antenna at a second location in the electronic device, determining a housing material of the electronic device based on a measured attenuation of the first test signal received by the second antenna based upon the data containing transmission properties relating to a plurality of materials, and adjusting a transmission power of one of the first antenna and the second antenna based upon the material properties of the housing material.

Abstract: A computing device is able to communicate wirelessly with other devices using different types of wireless networks, such as infrastructure networks and peer-to-peer networks. Situations can arise in which a computing device is connected to different types of networks at the same time. In such situations a check is made as to whether the computing device can connect to a first of the wireless networks using the same channel as is used by the computing device to connect to a second of the wireless networks. If so, then the computing device connects to the first wireless network using the same channel as is used by the computing device to connect to the second wireless network, resulting in the computing device sharing the same channel for the multiple wireless networks.
