Apparatus, systems, articles of manufacture, and methods for processing video in virtual reality environments are disclosed. An example virtual reality display device to process video in a virtual reality environment includes a video analyzer to detect unsmooth video data in the stream of video data and a video library to provide alternative video data. The example device also includes a selector to receive the stream of video data, an indication of the unsmooth video data, and the alternative video data. The selector is to select the alternative video data to replace the unsmooth video data based on the indication of the unsmooth video data and output a modified stream of video data including the stream of video data with the alternative video data in place of the unsmooth video data. The example device also includes an output display to display the modified stream of video data.

Video processing in virtual reality environments

A network profile grouping method for a communication device is described. In a network profile grouping method, wireless characteristics of a plurality of wireless access points (APs) are determined. Two or more APs of the plurality of APs are matched together based on the determined wireless characteristics. A group profile identification (ID) is assigned to the matched two or more APs to group the matched two or more APs together.

Network profile system and method

In a communication device and communication method, channel quality information for first and the second communication protocols is calculated. Further, allocation information can be generated for the first and the second communication protocols based on the corresponding channel quality information. Sequence numbers of corresponding data frames to be transmitted by the communication device can be generated. Further, the data frames and corresponding sequence numbers can be allocated to the first and the second communication protocols based on the allocation information.

Multiband data delivery device and method

Embodiments for providing a query for location information for access points (APs) proximate to a reporting AP are generally described herein. A station may include a processor arranged to generate a Location Configuration Information (LCI) request having subelements arranged to query a reporting AP for a LCI report that includes location information regarding APs proximate to the reporting AP and a transceiver, coupled to the processor, the transceiver being arranged to send to the reporting AP the generated LCI request for the LCI report that includes location information regarding APs proximate to the reporting AP.

Location configuration information (LCI) query

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems, devices and/or methods of packet coalescing. For example, an apparatus may include circuitry and logic configured to cause a first wireless station to process a notification from a second wireless station including transmit (Tx) packet coalescing information, the Tx packet coalescing information including packet type information to define one or more packet types for packet coalescing at the first wireless station, and a coalescing threshold indicator to indicate a coalescing threshold to limit the packet coalescing at the first wireless station; to coalesce a plurality of packets for the second wireless station by buffering the plurality of packets at the first wireless station, the plurality of packets having at least one of the one or more packet types; and, based at least on the coalescing threshold, to process one or more buffered packets of the plurality of packets for transmission to the second wireless station.

Apparatus, system and method of packet coalescing

Improved wireless network location techniques are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise circuitry and a communications management module for execution on the circuitry to send a timing announcement element comprising a sounding preamble count parameter indicating a number of sounding preambles, send a null data element comprising a number of sounding preambles equal to the sounding preamble count parameter, receive timing reply information comprising the number of sounding preambles equal to the sounding preamble count parameter, and determine a time of flight based on the timing reply information. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Wireless network location techniques

Embodiments of a system and method for establishing a physical location of a device are generally described herein. In some embodiments a device may include a wireless device configured to communicate with an access point through the use of a wireless protocol, and to perform a method for time-of-flight (ToF) positioning that includes a three-stage fine-timing measurement (FTM) procedure that includes: a first stage for negotiating comeback timing for a next FTM exchange, a second stage that includes performing a fine timing measurement exchange and optionally negotiating the comeback timing for the next fine timing measurement exchange, and a third stage that includes reporting and polling the timestamp of the previous fine timing measurement exchange and optionally performing an additional fine timing measurement stage. In some embodiments a module in a device may determine a range between the device and the access point or the one or more network devices.

Fine-timing measurement exchange

Embodiments of a communication station and method for time-of-flight (ToF) location determination in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a responding communication station receives a ToF measurement request. The responding communication station transmits an acknowledgment of the ToF measurement request. The responding communication station also transmits a response to the ToF measurement request that includes an indication of a time period for an initiating communication station to poll the responding communication station for a ToF result.

Time of flight (ToF) measurement

Polled time-of-flight response

AP location query

Disclosed in some examples is a method including receiving a downlink data packet over a first wireless link using a first wireless protocol during communications over a second wireless link using a second wireless protocol the first and second wireless protocols being different; and sending a control packet in response to the downlink data packet over the first wireless link using a reduced power setting during the communications over the second wireless link, the reduced power setting being less than a non-control packet power setting.
