Abstract
Disclosed herein are techniques to enable remote discovery of connectivity capabilities and remote connection of devices in a power efficient manner. In particular, discovery and connection requests for connectivity capabilities utilizing a first radio may be communicated using a second radio, the second radio utilizing a lower amount of power relative to the first radio. For example, connectivity capabilities such as Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, WiGig, Zigbee can be discovered and connection request communicated using a Bluetooth radio.
Claims25
An apparatus for a device in a wireless network, the apparatus comprising:
- circuitry;
- a connectivity component executable by the circuitry, the connectivity component to determine a connectivity capability utilizing a first radio and to generate connectivity capability information for communication using a second radio, the connectivity capability information including an indication of the connectivity capability.
An apparatus for a device in a wireless network, the apparatus comprising:
- circuitry;
- and
- a connectivity component executable by the circuitry, the connectivity component to determine a connectivity capability utilizing a first radio;
- and
- a remote connection component executable by the circuitry, the remote connection component to generate remote wakeup information for communication using a second radio, the remote wakeup information including an indication of a request to establish a connection using the connectivity capability.
A method implemented by a device in a wireless network, the method comprising:
- determining a connectivity capability utilizing a first radio;
