1. An apparatus comprising:
- a processor circuit for a wearable computing device;
a detect component for execution by the processor circuit to detect a wireless local area network (WLAN) transmission of a packet having a first packet size from a terminal computing device;
a threshold component for execution by the processor circuit to determine whether the first packet size exceeds a threshold size;
a receive component for execution by the processor circuit to receive an identification message from the terminal computing device based on the first packet size exceeding the threshold size;
an identification component for execution by the processor circuit to determine whether the identification message includes an identifier that matches an assigned identifier for the wearable computing device; and
the receive component to receive a command message from the terminal computing device based on a match.

Abstract
Examples are disclosed for wireless communication between a terminal computing device and a wearable computing device. In some examples, wireless local area network (WLAN) transmissions for packets of various sizes may be transmitted from a terminal computing device to a wearable computing device. At least some of the WLAN transmissions may be used by the terminal computing device to communicate to the wearable computing device based on the wearable computing device having an ability to detect the variable packet sizes. Other examples are described and claimed.

26. At least one machine readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed on a system at a terminal computing device cause the system to:
-
transmit a packet having a first packet size via a wireless local area network (WLAN) transmission, the WLAN transmission capable of being harvested for energy by one or more wearable computing devices; transmit an identification message including an identifier for a wearable computing device from among the one or more wearable computing devices, the identification message transmitted based on multiple WLAN transmissions having a first combination of second and third packet sizes to indicate the identifier; transmit a command message including a command to the wearable computing device, the command message transmitted based on multiple WLAN transmissions having a second combination of the second and the third packet sizes; and receive a response to the command from the wearable computing device. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30)
