SESSION MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL PROCEDURES FOR SUPPORTING MULTIPLE GROUPS OF SINK DEVICES IN A PEER-TO-PEER WIRELESS DISPLAY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An apparatus configured to transmit multimedia content to a plurality of sink devices, comprising a processor configured to:
- connect to each of the plurality of sink devices with a Wi-Fi peer-to-peer connection;
receive capability information from each of the Wi-Fi peer-to-peer connected sink devices requesting a particular multimedia content;
generate a control message including a group session ID and a transport port number, the transport port number to be used for communicating to each of the Wi-Fi peer-to-peer connected sink devices the particular multimedia content associated with the group;
transmit to each of the Wi-Fi peer-to-peer connected sink devices the control message;
determine a set of streaming parameters for the Wi-Fi peer-to-peer connected sink devices associated with the group session ID; and
transmit, using the transport port number and according to the set of streaming parameters, the particular multimedia content to each of the Wi-Fi peer-to-peer connected sink devices.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for session management and control procedures for supporting multiple groups of sink devices in a peer-to-peer wireless display system are described. One implementation may include an apparatus configured to transmit multimedia content to a plurality of sink devices. The apparatus may comprise a processor configured to connect to each of the sink devices with a Wi-Fi peer-to-peer connection. The processor may further be configured to receive capability information from each of the sink devices. The processor may further be configured to generate a control message including a group session ID and a transport port number. The processor may further be configured to determine a set of streaming parameters for the sink devices. The processor may further be configured to transmit, using the transport port number and according to the set of streaming parameters, the particular multimedia content to each of the Wi-Fi peer-to-peer connected sink devices.
