Method and apparatus for maintaining continuity of on-going session over wired or wireless interface

A method of maintaining continuity of an on-going session over a wired interface, the method comprising:

• identifying, by a media agnostic universal serial bus (MA-USB) layer, the on-going session between a USB host and a USB device over the wired interface;
• exchanging, by the MA-USB layer, service continuity parameters over wired interface during enumeration;
• detecting, by an application service platform (ASP) layer, an event corresponding to an interruption of the on-going session in the wired interface;
• and
• concurrently continuing, by the ASP layer, the on-going session over a wireless interface in response to the detected event.

An apparatus for maintaining continuity of an on-going session over a wireless interface, the apparatus comprising:

• a media agnostic universal serial bus (MA-USB) layer and an application service platform (ASP) layer and configured to:
• identify, by the MA-USB layer, the on-going session between a USB host and a USB device over the wireless interface;
• detect, by the ASP layer, an event corresponding to an interruption of the on-going session in the wireless interface;
• and
• concurrently continue, by the ASP layer, the on-going session over a wired interface between the USB host and the USB device in response to the detected event,
• wherein session continuity parameters are exchanged between the USB host and the USB device by the MA-USB layer during one of:
• an initial connection over the wireless interface and initiating connection over the wired interface.
