Systems, devices, and methods related to selecting a sample phase of a signal are disclosed. A method includes sampling a signal including a plurality of symbols with a plurality of different sample phases to obtain sample values of each of the plurality of symbols at each of the plurality of different sample phases. The signal is received from a shared transmission medium. The method also includes determining an edge sample phase of the plurality of different sample phases that corresponds to edges of the symbols based on the sample values. The method further includes determining a center sample phase of the plurality of different sample phases based on the determined edge sample phase, and using the determined center sample phase to determine values of the symbols.

An audio/video (A/V) hub that coordinates playback of audio content is described. In particular, the A/V hub may calculate current time offsets between clocks in electronic devices and a clock in the A/V hub based on differences between transmit times of frames from the electronic devices and receive times when the frames were received. For example, the current time offsets may be calculated using wireless ranging by ignoring distances between the A/V hub and the electronic devices. Then, the A/V hub may transmit, to the electronic devices, one or more frames that include audio content and playback timing information, which may specify playback times when the electronic devices are to playback the audio content based on the current time offsets. Furthermore, the playback times of the electronic devices may have a temporal relationship so that the playback of the audio content by the electronic devices is coordinated.

A wearable magnetic sensor system includes a wearable article that spatially arranges magnetic sensor components around a user's torso to obtain magnetic sensor data used for body pose tracking. The wearable magnetic sensor system includes magnetic sensor components that sense a magnetic field generated by a magnetic transmitter. One or more wearable articles spatially arrange the magnetic sensor components at different locations on a body of the user, such as the arms and torso. The one or more wearable articles include a transmitter attachment mechanism for affixing the magnetic transmitter at, e.g., a torso of the user, and receiver attachment mechanisms for affixing the magnetic sensor components at, e.g., locations of the body other than the torso. The magnetic sensor components are spatially arranged at different locations on the user's body so as to maximize tracking accuracy and minimize interference between the magnetic sensors and the transmitter.
