International Classification:

H04W 76/02

US Classification:

455 39

Abstract:

Logic may enable a number of Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) enabled mobile devices to establish Peer-to-Peer connectivity to allow users to connect their devices in an easy and convenient manner to share, show, print, and synchronize content. Logic may enable interoperability between services/applications from multiple vendors. Users may experience consistency due to services interoperability. Logic provide a procedure to enable multiple vendor's applications and services interoperability via methods and arrangements to enable Peer-to-Peer (P2P) connection limited to allow traffic from user-invoked services on, e.g., a Wi-Fi Direct connection.

International Classification:

H04W 52/02
H04W 48/16
H04W 40/24
H04L 29/08
H04W 56/00

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are techniques to enable remote wakeup of controlled devices. In particular, a controlling device and a controlled device may each power on a radio during a wakeup window. The controlling device may communicate a wakeup frame to the controlled device during the wakeup window to wake the controlled device from a sleep or low power state for purposes of communicating with the controlled device in a network, such as a peer-to-peer network.
