Wireless communication techniques

Abstract

Wireless communication techniques are described. In one or more implementations, techniques are described that involve active power control such that a device may bypass use of a power amplifier to communicate wirelessly. In one or more additional implementations, wireless communication techniques are described in which multiple bands may be leveraged to provide wireless communication. In one or more further implementations, wireless communication techniques are described in which a frame buffer on a receiving device is leveraged by a sending device. Yet further, in one or more implementations wireless communication techniques are described in which a sending device employs codec adaptation. Still yet further, in one or more implementations, wireless communication techniques are described which may be used to change characteristics of a channel used to communicate data. Yet further again, in one or more implementations, a receiving device is configured to adjust a display based on wireless communications received from a plurality of devices, such as to leverage a display by multiple wireless sources.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application is claimed under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 430,639 (Attorney Docket 331722.01) filed January 7, 2011 and U.S. Provisional Patent Application filed January 10, 2011 Priority to No. 61 / 431,312 (Attorney Docket No. 332027.01), the entire disclosure of each of these applications is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to wireless communication technology. Background technique [0004] The popularity of wireless communications continues to increase. Originally, wireless communication technologies were used by computing devices, such as conventional desktop computers and laptop computers, to communicate with each other locally and remotely via the Internet. The use of these technologies has subsequently been extended to a variety of other devices, such as game consoles, input devices (eg, keyboards and mice), printers, and the like. [...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, as such use expands, conventional techniques for performing wireless communications face various difficulties

For example, the massive proliferation of these technologies could lead to interference among devices utilizing these technologies, thereby limiting the usefulness of these technologies to each of the devices utilizing these technologies

Furthermore, these techniques may consume relatively large amounts of power to overcome such interference, which may limit the usefulness of these techniques to battery-powered mobile devices and cause further interference
