Link management for multimedia content mobility

摘要

In general, techniques are described for link management to enable multimedia content mobility. More specifically, an apparatus may implement these techniques. The apparatus may comprise one or more wireless modems and a control unit. The one or more wireless modems receive multimedia content over a first wireless communication channel from a first application and establish a second wireless communication channel for communicating with a second application. The control unit then determines channel data corresponding to one or more characteristics associated with the second wireless communication channel and configures the at least one of the wireless modems based on the channel data. The configured at least one of the wireless modems forwards the received multimedia content to the second application to facilitate multimedia content mobility.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
detecting a plurality of devices; receiving a selection of a source device from the plurality of detected devices; receiving a selection of a destination device from the plurality of detected devices; receiving multimedia content over a first wireless communication channel established using one or more wireless modems from a first application of the source device; establishing, with the one or more wireless modems, a second wireless communication channel for enabling communication for a second application of the destination device; determining channel data corresponding to one or more characteristics associated with the second wireless communication channel, wherein determining the channel data comprises determining a level of bandwidth required over the second wireless communication channel to forward the multimedia content; configuring at least one of the wireless modems based on the channel data; transforming the received multimedia content from a first format to a second format based on resource data, wherein the resource data comprises one or more of a remaining battery power, a remaining operating time, a memory utilization, a storage device utilization, and a current total power consumption; and forwarding, with the configured one of the wireless modems, the transformed multimedia content to the second application.
