Abstract
A source device connected to a sink device over a first wireless connection. The source device identifies a frame for retransmitting a voice packet associated with a real time application from the source device to the sink device, determines that a precedent operation is scheduled for the frame, delays the precedent operation to a subsequent frame, following the retransmitting of the voice packet and scheduling a retransmission operation for retransmitting the voice packet during the frame.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- at a source device connected to a sink device over a first wireless connection:
- identifying a frame for retransmitting a voice packet associated with a real time application from the source device to the sink device;
- determining that a precedent operation is scheduled for the frame;
- delaying the precedent operation to a subsequent frame, following the retransmitting of the voice packet;
- and
- scheduling a retransmission operation for retransmitting the voice packet during the frame.
A source device, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to establish a connection to a sink device over a first wireless connection;
- and
- a processor configured to execute a set of instructions stored on a computer readable storage medium, wherein the set of instructions include:
- identifying a frame for retransmitting a voice packet associated with a real time application from the source device to the sink device,
- determining that a precedent operation is scheduled for the frame,
- delaying the precedent operation to a subsequent frame, following the retransmitting of the voice packet, and
- scheduling a retransmission operation for retransmitting the voice packet during the frame.
An integrated circuit configured for use in a source device connected to a sink device over a first wireless connection, comprising:
- circuitry configured to identify a frame for retransmitting a voice packet associated with a real time application from the source device to the sink device;
- circuitry configured to determine that a precedent operation is scheduled for the frame;
- circuitry configured to delay the precedent operation to a subsequent frame following the retransmitting of the voice packet;
- and
- circuitry configured to schedule a retransmission operation for retransmitting the voice packet during the frame.
