For example, a Bluetooth (BT) device may include a first BT radio; a second BT radio; and a BT controller configured to control BT activities of the first and second BT radios, the BT controller configured to process a Host Controller Interface (HCI) command from a host processor of the BT device to setup a BT activity, the BT controller configured to identify one or more scheduling requirements of the BT activity based on the HCI command, and, based on the scheduling requirements of the BT activity, to dynamically schedule the BT activity to a selected BT radio from the first and second BT radios.

Apparatus, system and method of scheduling communication via a plurality of Bluetooth radios

A method and apparatus for extending the sleep time for a Bluetooth transceiver circuit uses a fine count signal and a base count signal during the sleep mode, followed by an interval that accounts for wake-up overhead and preparation for the next active mode. The wake-up to active mode is aligned with the timing signal that defines the communication slots in the Bluetooth communications. The extension of the sleep mode until a beginning of a communication slot in active mode is accomplished for wake-up processes that are initiated by an external trigger event as well as for wake-up processes that are initiated as a result of an internal timer. Power consumption is reduced because the circuit does not wake up to active mode before communication can be carried out in a communication slot.

Method and apparatus to controlling sleep time for Bluetooth device and Bluetooth enabled device

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method that includes receiving, by a traffic arbiter, a predetermined time-slot allocation of one or more uplink time slots and/or one or more downlink time slots for a first wireless media access control (MAC) configured to operate within a first wireless transmission system. The method also includes determining, by the traffic arbiter, whether to grant a second wireless MAC, configured to operate within a second wireless transmission system, permission to transmit or receive based at least in part on the predetermined time-slot allocation.

Method and apparatus for synchronizing frames of two different wireless transmission systems associated with a wireless device

Method and apparatus for arbitrating between a plurality of time division multiplexing (TDM) wireless transmission systems

Wireless media access control arbitration

A method for emulating a physical connection using a wireless connection includes establishing a communication connection with a peripheral according to a communication protocol using a host controller. The method further includes receiving a wireless signal carrying data having a format specified by the communication protocol, extracting the data from the wireless signal, and communicating the data to the peripheral using the communication connection.

Wireless cable replacement for computer peripherals using a master adapter

In one embodiment, a system for automatically establishing a wireless connection between adapters includes a master adapter coupleable to a peripheral device. The master adapter can automatically enter an inquiry mode in response to the occurrence of a first event. In the inquiry mode, the master adapter automatically establishes one or more wireless connections between the master adapter and one or more slave adapters that are coupled to one or more computer systems. The master adapter can also automatically enter an operational mode in response to the occurrence of a second event. In the operational mode, the master adapter enables communication between the peripheral device and the one or more computer systems via the one or more wireless connections using a wireless protocol.

Automatically establishing a wireless connection between adapters

A method for emulating a physical connection using a wireless connection includes establishing a communication connection with a host controller according to a first communication protocol and establishing a wireless connection with a wireless device coupled to a peripheral. The method further includes receiving a wireless signal comprising registration information for the peripheral formatted according to a second communication protocol and communicating the registration information to the host controller using the communication connection. The communication of the registration information to the host controller allows the host controller to recognize the peripheral.
