    Abstract: Coherency driven enhancements to a PCIe transaction layer are disclosed. In an exemplary aspect, a coherency agent is added to a PCIe system to support a relaxed consistency model for use of memory therein. In particular, endpoints can request ownership of portions of the memory to read from and write to the memory. The coherency agent assigns an address range including the requested portions. The requesting endpoint copies the contents of the memory corresponding to the assigned address range into local endpoint memory to perform read and write operations locally. The owning endpoint may provide an updated snapshot of the copied memory contents upon request. At completion of use of the copied memory contents, or upon request from the coherency agent, ownership of the address range reverts back to the root complex, and the endpoint sends the updated contents back to the address range in the system memory element.

    Abstract: Removable memory card discrimination systems and methods are disclosed. In particular, exemplary embodiments discriminate between secure digital (SD) cards and other removable memory cards that comply with the SD form factor, but support the Universal Flash Storage (UFS) protocol. That is, a host may have a receptacle that supports the SD card form factor and is configured to receive a device. In use, a removable memory card is inserted into the receptacle and, using an SD compliant interrogation signal, the host interrogates a common area on the card so inserted. The common area includes information related to capability descriptors of the card. An SD compliant card will respond with information such as capability descriptors about the SD protocol capabilities, while a UFS compliant card will respond with an indication that the card is UFS compliant. The host may then restart the communication with the card using the UFS protocol.

    Abstract: Techniques for selecting a radio interface for an application are describ ed. A terminal identifies locally-addressable and globally-addressable wirel ess networks among wireless networks available to the terminal. Radio interf aces supported by the terminal may be prioritized based on the locally-addre ssable and globally-addressable wireless networks, information obtained for the application, the application type, etc. Different applications may have different radio interface preferences or requirements, which may be consider ed in prioritizing the radio interfaces. A suitable radio interface may be s elected for the application based on the prioritized radio interfaces. WLAN interface may be selected for the application if (a) the WLAN interface is p referred and any WLAN is acceptable to the application or (b) a globally-add ressable WLAN is available. A WWAN interface may be selected for the applica tion if a globally-addressable WLAN is not available.

    Abstract: Multi lane high speed interfaces for a modified High Speed Synchronous Serial (HSI) system and related systems methods are disclosed. In one embodiment electronic device using a modified HSI protocol comprises a transmit communications interface. The transmit communications interface comprises a data path configured to carry data from the electronic device a ready path configured to carry an HSI protocol compliant READY signal and a flag path configured to carry an HSI protocol compliant FLAG signal indicative of repeated bit values of data carried on the data path. The transmit communications interface further comprises one or more additional data paths configured to carry additional data from the electronic device in parallel with the data carried by the data path such that the data path and the one or more additional data paths carry HSI protocol compliant data striped across the data path and the one or more additional data paths.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for handling silence in audio streams are disclosed. In one aspect, a transmitter detects a halt in an audio stream. After detection of the halt in the audio stream, the transmitter embeds a silence signal into the audio stream and transmits the silence signal to associated receivers. The associated receivers may respond to the embedded silence signal by "playing" silence or by using the silence signal to activate a silence protocol. In either event, the associated receivers do not receive the original audio halt and do not produce an unwanted audio artifact.
