Method and system for optimizing power consumption and reducing MIPS requirements for wireless communication

摘要

A system for reducing system latency, MIPS requirements, and power consumption in a wireless communications system includes part of an upper layer stack processing being performed on a controller to relieve a host processor of some data intensive operations. After the initial connection establishment phase in which the controller may retrieve certain information required for data transmission and stores the same locally, the data source may provide data to the controller, such as, without routing the data through the host. The host may be relieved of the data processing that needs to be done while the data is being transferred.

主权项

1. A method for configuring a connection for direct data streaming between a local device and a remote device comprising:
establishing a connection between an upper layer stack of the local device and an upper layer stack of the remote device by at least exchanging connection information between the local device and the remote device; analyzing the connection information at the local device during the exchanging, the connection information including a command and header information; sending a message over the established connection; and starting a direct data stream between the local device and the remote device over the established connection based upon receiving the message by at least
receiving the data stream from a data source,formatting the data stream into data packets, andsending the data packets directly to the remote device through a physical link without a host intervention, and wherein the data packets are sent without host intervention based upon the command and header information analyzed by the local device during the connection establishment.
