Mobile platforms are becoming smaller and smaller, and typically have smaller screens and less Input/Output (IO) ports from generation to generation.
Docking stations are commonly used nowadays to extend the IO port array of the mobile platforms, and provide a convenient means for a mobile platform to hook up to a static variety of peripheral devices (“peripherals”), such as displays, monitors, external storage devices, external Hard Disk Drives (HDD), a mouse, a keyboard, a webcam, communication devices, and the like.
A docking device (also referred to as “docking station”) may typically be placed on a table, while being permanently connected to the peripherals, and the user may connect the mobile platform to the docking station (“dock”) to utilize the peripherals.
A wireless docking station may be configured to enable a wireless connection of the mobile platform to the wireless docking station. The wireless connection may enable the user to connect the mobile device to the peripheral devices without physically connecting the mobile device to the docking station.
Accordingly, the wireless docking station may provide a convenient and easy to use connection between the mobile platform and the peripheral devices.
However, since the mobile platform is not physically connected to the docking station, movement of the mobile platform can cause unpredictable effects on the wireless communication link between the mobile platform and the docking station.
