Abstract:
Embodiments of methods and apparatus for providing a channel avoidance system for a platform with a plurality of wireless communication devices are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Abstract:
Devices and methods for optimizing semi-active workloads are described herein. A network interface device may be configured to offload data packet acknowledgment responsibilities of a host platform by transmitting, to the sender of the packets, acknowledgements of packets received throughout a time duration. Upon completion of the time duration, the network interface device may trigger the host platform to perform batch processing of the data packets received during the time duration.
Abstract:
An embodiment of the present invention provides a method of detecting user presence, comprising registering a client associated with the user on a host associated with the user and setting up a wireless communication pairing, wherein while setting up the pairing, the client measures the host wireless communication power and uses it as calibration threshold for distance detection, and wherein the client measures a beacon power of the host radio and when the beacon power is above a threshold, the client is determined to be proximate to the host.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for performing high performance instruction emulation. One embodiment of the invention includes a processor to process an instruction set including high-power and standard instructions comprising: an analysis module to determine whether a number of high-power instructions within a specified window are above or below a specified threshold; an execution mode selection module to select a native execution of the high-power instructions if the number of high-power instructions are above the specified threshold or to select an emulated execution of the high-power instructions if the number of high-power instructions are below the specified threshold.
Abstract:
Embodiments of millimeter-wave communication stations with directional antennas and methods for fast link recovery are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, a transmitting station retransmits a packet in an adjacent direction when an acknowledgement is not received from a receiving station after a number of retransmission attempts. In other embodiments, a receiving station changes its reception to an adjacent direction when a packet is not received from a transmitting station after a number of missed reservations.
Abstract:
Techniques for image rendering are described herein. The techniques may include providing image data to an encoder for transmission to a display. An indication of whether at least a portion of the image data is video data or non-video data is provided. A first policy may be implemented for image data that is video data. The first policy prioritizes transmission of the image data over encoding image quality. A second policy may be implemented for image data that is non-video data. The second policy prioritizes encoded image quality over transmission of the encoded images.
Abstract:
A tile concept allows independent encoding and decoding of regions of the video frames combined with changes in the way that the coded tiles are packetized and queued for transport. After the coded tile network abstraction layer (NAL) units are packetized into MPEG-TS frames, the more important tile data is put in the network abstraction layer at the head of the queue while the less important data is inserted later in the queue. Audio can also be accorded high priority. For a given link bandwidth/latency environment, the important data is transmitted first and the less important data can be discarded at the transmitter with less impact on the user perceived quality.
Abstract:
A higher frame rate (a multiple of the original display frame rate at the host) is exploited at a display sink device to opportunistically insert new decoded frames for display at the higher refresh rate of the sink. In other words, delayed frames arriving at the sink may get a chance to be displayed during the higher refresh rate cycle, thus offering a better ("smoother") viewing experience along with improved interactivity or "responsiveness."

Abstract:
In accordance with some embodiments, instead of always defaulting the primary display on or off, while mirroring its display to a secondary display, a sensor reading may be used to decide whether the primary display should be on or off. In other words, depending on a condition sensed by one or more sensors, a decision is made whether to turn the primary display on if the default setting is off or off if the default setting is on.
Abstract:
Systems and techniques for reduced host sleep interruption are described herein. A first packet received via a receive chain may be placed into a buffer. The first packet may be of a first preliminary type. The first packet may be processed from the buffer without communication with the host machine. The first packet may also be of a first secondary type. Processing the first packet may include an operation chosen from the group of dropping the packet and responding to the packet. A second packet received via the receive chain may be placed into the buffer. The second packet may be of a first preliminary type and a second secondary type. The second packet may be communicated from the buffer to the machine. A third packet received via the receive chain may be communicated to the machine. The third packet may be of a second preliminary type.
