Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to determine a location of an audio source are disclosed. Disclosed example apparatus are to determine respective error values for corresponding ones of a first dataset of time difference of arrival (TDOA) distance values between pairs of acoustic sensors, the error values based on a cost function, a first set of constraints and a second set of constraints. Disclosed example apparatus are also to adjust the corresponding ones of the first dataset of TDOA distance values based on the respective error values to determine a second dataset of TDOA distance values. Disclosed example apparatus are further to output the second dataset of TDOA distance values to source location circuitry that is to determine the location of the audio source.

Methods and apparatus to adjust time difference of arrival distance values used for source localization

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of controlling data flow over a communication network. For example, an apparatus may include a communication unit to communicate between first and second devices a transfer response, the transfer response in response to a transfer request, the transfer response including a transfer pending status indicating data is pending to be received at the second device, the communication unit is to communicate the transfer response regardless of whether a retry indicator of the transfer request represents a first request for transfer or a retried request.

Apparatus, system and method of controlling data flow over a communication network

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of controlling data flow over a communication network. For example, an apparatus may include a communication unit to control the transfer of a stream of data from a first device to a second device over a communication link, the stream of data including data to be delivered to a plurality of endpoints. For example, the controlling may include communicating between the first and second devices at least one message including at least one endpoint-specific credit consumption unit (CCU) defined with respect to at least one endpoint of the plurality of endpoints.

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of supporting streaming over a Protocol Adaptation Layer (PAL). For example, an apparatus may include a first PAL communication unit to communicate PAL traffic with a second PAL communication unit over a communication link, the PAL traffic comprising traffic of a PAL connection, over a PAL, between a first device and a second device, the PAL is above a layer of the communication link, the PAL traffic comprising data to be communicated between the first device and one or more endpoints via the second device, wherein the first PAL communication unit is to communicate an endpoint open stream request and an endpoint open stream response with the second PAL communication unit over the communication link.

Example systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for scheduling traffic by a media agnostic universal serial bus protocol adaptive layer. In one embodiment, a method can include determining, by a processor, a first bitmask including first binary information about a state of a plurality of universal serial bus traffic classes, selecting, by the processor, one or more universal serial bus traffic classes to service based at least in part on the first binary information, determining, by the processor, a second bitmask including second binary information about a state of a plurality of universal serial bus endpoint queues, each universal serial bus endpoint queue including a plurality of universal serial bus endpoints, and selecting, by the processor, one or more universal serial bus endpoint queues to service based at least in part on the second binary information.

Systems, methods, and devices for media agnostic USB packet scheduling

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of tearing down a Protocol Adaptation Layer (PAL) session. For example, an apparatus may include a first PAL communication unit to control a PAL connection, over a PAL, between a first device and a second device, the first PAL communication unit is to control the PAL connection during a session with a second PAL communication unit over a communication link, wherein the first PAL communication unit is to tear down the session according to a tear down procedure.

Apparatus, system and method of tearing down a media-agnostic USB session

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of transitioning a device to a default state. For example, an apparatus may include a first Protocol Adaptation Layer (PAL) communication unit to communicate PAL traffic with a second PAL communication unit over a communication link, the PAL traffic comprising traffic of a PAL connection over a PAL, the PAL is above a layer of the communication link, wherein the first PAL communication unit is to communicate a device reset request and a device reset response with the second PAL communication unit over the communication link, the device reset request indicating transitioning of a peripheral device to a default state, the device reset response in response to the device reset request, the device reset response indicating whether the device reset request is successfully handled.
