David G. Brenner - Plano TX, US

Assignee:

QUALCOMM Incorporated - San Diego CA

International Classification:

H04L 27/00

US Classification:

375295, 375260, 375264, 375261, 375298, 375299, 375267, 370208, 370296

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method for enabling side channel communication between wireless devices. In one embodiment of the invention the guard tones in wireless OFDM signals are used for side channel communication. In another embodiment of the invention, unused bits in OFDM symbols are used as side channels instead of being padded with zeros or random bits.

International Classification:

G06F013/00

US Classification:

710303000

Abstract:

With the rapid innovation in wireless technology, greater bandwidth is now available. This invention proposes to use the much greater wireless bandwidth available with ultrawideband (UWB) technology, to replace the current expensive solution for laptop port replication using hardwired connections. First, a wireless interface between the laptop and the port replicator will no longer require the expensive, high-pincount docking station connector currently in use in today's products. This will increase reliability of the docking system, and decrease cost of the solution. Second, a wireless dock will allow the laptop user to more quickly associate their computer with the docking station and connected peripherals merely by placing the laptop in proximity with the dock. Third, the bandwidth of the UWB wireless connection can be superior to that of a USB solution, with data rates exceeding 1 Gbps. When these advantages are combined, the UWB-powered docking station will offer a significant alternative to the current approach for laptop docking while protecting the customer investment in peripherals.

US Classification:

709204

Abstract:

According to an aspect of this disclosure, a method for transferring data from a first device to a second device is described, the method comprising: writing data into a data-sharing application of an operating system of the first device; requesting a data-sharing application to select a physical layer data transmission technology; the data-sharing application selecting a physical layer data transmission technology; connecting a data-sharing of an operating system of the second device via the selected physical layer data transmission technology; and transferring the data from the data-sharing application of the first device to the data-sharing application of the second device.
