Wireless quiet enrolment

A wireless media network, comprising:

• a source device including a non-transitory machine-readable medium, the medium including instructions, the instructions, when loaded and executed by a processor, configure the source device to wirelessly transmit media data packets;
• and
• a sink device including a non-transitory machine-readable medium, the medium including instructions, the instructions, when loaded and executed by a processor, configure the sink device to wirelessly receive the media data from the source device;
• wherein the source device further includes instructions to configure the source device to:
• operate in an active enrolment mode, a quiet enrolment mode and a data mode;
• when in the active enrolment mode:
• transmit enrolment packets and listen for response packets from the sink device;
• and
• if valid response packets for active enrolment are received from the sink device, go into the data mode with the sink device and transmit the media data packets thereto;
• if the valid response packets for active enrolment are not received from the at least one sink device after an enrolment timeout, enter the quiet enrolment mode;
• when in the quiet enrolment mode:
• listen for a signal from the sink device, the signal comprising a valid enrolment trigger packet;
• and
• when the signal is received, go into the active enrolment mode.

• and
• if valid response packets for active enrolment are received from the sink device, go into the data mode with the sink device and transmit the media data packets thereto;
• if the valid response packets for active enrolment are not received from the at least one sink device after an enrolment timeout, enter the quiet enrolment mode;
• when in the quiet enrolment mode:
• listen for a signal from the sink device, the signal comprising an average RSSI having a level greater than a quiet enrolment trigger threshold;
• and
• when the signal is received, go into the active enrolment mode.
