Abstract:
Example apparatus and methods concern establishing, maintaining, managing, or terminating communications between an access point and a client in a wireless network used by a shared, wireless gaming system. An example apparatus may include a first logic configured to control timing for the protocol and a second logic configured to control message exchange for the protocol. Controlling timing and message exchange facilitates reducing contention in the wireless gaming environment. Contention may lead to latency. A user gaming experience may depend on reducing latency. Therefore, reducing latency may produce an improved gaming experience. Controlling timing and message exchange also facilitates reducing power consumption by clients (e.g., accessories, controllers), which in turn facilitates improving battery life for clients.

Claim (Index 21):
A gaming accessory comprising:\n a processor; a memory; logic configured to implement a wireless protocol to communicate with a gaming console in a wireless network; and an interface configured to connect the processor, the memory, and the logic; the logic being further configured to:\n contend with one or more other gaming accessories for access to a wireless communication medium for communicating with the gaming console; \n in instances when the gaming accessory successfully contends for access to the wireless communication medium, initiate communication with the gaming console by sending trigger packets to the gaming console, the trigger packets being sent at a designated trigger packet frequency; and \n increase the designated trigger packet frequency at which the trigger packets are sent to the gaming console.
