GIP
A proprietary game input protocol developed by Microsoft for communication between Xbox One and later controllers and consoles, encapsulating input reports, rumble commands and Guide button events.

Microsoft's Xbox Wireless Adapter (the USB receiver for Series X|S controllers) has never supported the Xbox 360, because its core is a MediaTek Wi-Fi chip and it relies on the console to complete firmware upload, RF configuration, pairing, the ECDH security handshake, and the GIP controller protocol.
The driver ports the MT76 RF code, pairing, ECDH handshake and GIP protocol from xone into portable C code, and writes a kernel-mode system DLL as the Xbox 360-side implementation.
GIP (Game Input Protocol) is Microsoft's proprietary protocol used for communication between Xbox One and later controllers and the console, encapsulating input reports, rumble commands, Guide button events and more.
The Xbox 360 uses the earlier XInput protocol, so the driver needs to translate GIP messages into XInput-compatible input reports.
