An apparatus for generating a data signal comprises a processing circuit configured to generate the data signal, the data signal comprising a sequence of a first signal edge of a first type, a second signal edge of a second type, and a third signal edge of the first type, the first signal edge and the second signal edge being separated by a first time period corresponding to first data to be transmitted, and the second signal edge and the third signal edge being separated by a second time period corresponding to second data to be transmitted. An output interface circuit is configured to output the data signal.

Time encoded data communication protocol, apparatus and method for generating and receiving a data signal

Technologies for improving enumeration of universal serial bus (USB) devices over a media agnostic USB (MAUSB) connection are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, an MAUSB device may send USB configuration data to a host compute device. The host compute device may then perform a virtual enumeration of the USB devices based on the USB configuration data without necessarily communicating with the USB devices. The MAUSB device may perform an enumeration of the USB devices on behalf of the host compute devices without necessarily communicating with the host compute device. The USB devices may not be aware or have any indication that the USB device is not communicating with the host compute device during the enumeration process. Such an approach may improve the latency of USB enumeration over an MAUSB connection.

Technologies for fast MAUSB enumeration

A method for operating a media agnostic universal serial bus (MAUSB) device includes a compute device having a link connection manager, a USB manager, and a state manager. The compute device establishes a link with a MAUSB device and a session with the MAUSB device. Subsequently to receipt of a sleep command for the compute device, the compute device transitions to a sleep state and terminates the link with the MAUSB device while keeping intact the session with the MAUSB device. The compute device transitions back to an active state in response to receipt of a wake command for the compute device. The compute device sends a wake request to the MAUSB device. If the MAUSB device responds to the wake request with an acceptance, then the compute device reestablishes the previous session with the MAUSB device. If instead an error is received, the compute device terminates the session.

Technologies for optimizing resume time for media agnostic USB

Disclosed herein are connection management techniques for wireless docking. According to various such techniques, a wireless docking station may be arranged to implement an auto-connect mode setting that defines whether mobile clients are permitted to automatically connect to the wireless docking station, and may be arranged to implement a persistent pairing setting that defines whether authentication certificates may be reused. In some embodiments, the wireless docking station may be configured to advertise the auto-connect mode setting and the persistent pairing setting in auto-connect capability information elements (IEs) that it includes in probe requests and/or probe responses. The embodiments are not limited in this context.

Connection management techniques for wireless docking

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, devices, systems and methods of triggering a wireless docking session between a mobile device and a wireless docking device. For example, an apparatus may include circuitry and logic configured to cause a mobile device to detect a wireless charging of the mobile device by a wireless docking device; and to, upon detection of the wireless charging, trigger a wireless docking session between the mobile device and the wireless docking device.

Apparatus, system and method of triggering a wireless docking session between a mobile device and a wireless docking device

Examples are disclosed for techniques for wireless docking. According to some embodiments, a mobile device may scan for an available docking device, for example a device with one or more I/O devices such as a display. The mobile device may automatically establish a secure wireless link with the docking device, for example, if the docking device is known to the mobile device. However, I/O services to be provided by the docking device are not activated. Instead, the docking device will prompt a user for identification data. If the identification data passes verification, the I/O services may be activated. According to some embodiments, the identification data obtained by the docking device may also be used to wake the mobile device, to login to the mobile device, and/or to unlock the mobile device for user access.

Method, system and apparatus for secured wireless docking connection

Some demonstrative embodiments include an apparatus, method and/or system of terminating a docking session between a mobile device and a docking device. For example, a mobile device may include a radio to communicate over a docking session via a wireless communication link between the mobile device and a wireless docking device; and an event classifier to determine a classification of an event of connectivity loss of the wireless communication link as an intentional disconnection or an unintentional disconnection, based on a comparison between at least one acceleration metric of the mobile device and at least one acceleration threshold, and to send to the wireless docking device an indication of the classification of the event of connectivity loss.

Apparatus, system and method of terminating a docking session between a mobile device and a docking device

Some demonstrative embodiments include an apparatus, method and/or system of controlling a wireless docking device. For example, a wireless docking interface may include an indicator to indicate at least a wireless docking disconnected state of a wireless docking device, a ready to connect state, and a wireless docking connected state; a control button; and a controller to trigger a wireless docking operation based on a change in a button state of the control button, the wireless docking operation including an operation selected from the group consisting of pairing the wireless docking device with a mobile device, disconnecting the mobile device from the docking device, and triggering the mobile device to switch between first and second power states.
