Abstract

In some aspects, a Bluetooth (BT) device may include a BT controller configured to receive a power state indication from a host processor of the BT device, the power state indication to indicate a power state corresponding to a power source being utilized by the BT device; and to control one or more BT activities of the BT device according to a BT communication scheme, the BT controller to configure the BT communication scheme based on the power state indication.

Claims24

Dependent claims

An apparatus of a Bluetooth (BT) device, the apparatus comprising:

an input to receive a power state indication from a host processor of the BT device, the power state indication to indicate a power state corresponding to a power source being utilized by the BT device;
and
a BT controller including logic and circuitry configured to control one or more BT activities performed by the BT device according to a BT communication scheme, the BT controller to configure the BT communication scheme based on the power state indication, wherein the BT controller is to configure the BT communication scheme by configuring a BT link parameter based on the power state indication, wherein the BT controller is to configure a BT communication latency based on the power state indication, the BT controller to configure an interval between reserved timeslots of a BT link based on the power state indication.

A product comprising one or more tangible computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising computer-executable instructions operable to, when executed by at least one processor, enable the at least one processor to cause a Bluetooth (BT) controller of a BT device to:

process a power state indication from a host processor of the BT device, the power state indication to indicate a power state corresponding to a power source being utilized by the BT device;
configure a BT communication scheme based on the power state indication by configuring a BT link parameter based on the power state indication, wherein the BT communication scheme is to configure one or more BT activities performed by the BT device, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the BT controller to configure a BT communication latency based on the power state indication, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the BT controller to configure an interval between reserved timeslots of a BT link based on the power state indication;
and
control the one or more BT activities performed by the BT device according to the BT communication scheme.
