Secondary link for AR/VR applications

A console comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• determine that a first measurement of a primary wireless link between the console and a head wearable display is less than a first threshold, the first measurement corresponding to a quality metric of the primary wireless link at a first time;
• activate, responsive to the first measurement being less than the first threshold, a secondary wireless link to be on standby, the secondary wireless link between the console and the head wearable display, the primary wireless link supporting a higher throughput than the secondary wireless link;
• determine whether a second measurement of the primary wireless link between the console and the head wearable display is less than a second threshold, the second measurement corresponding to the quality metric of the primary wireless link at a second time, wherein the second threshold is less than the first threshold;
• and
• transition, when the second measurement is less than the second threshold, traffic on the primary wireless link to the activated secondary wireless link.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:

• determine that a first measurement of a primary wireless link between a console and a head wearable display is less than a first threshold, the first measurement corresponding to a quality metric of the primary wireless link at a first time;
• activate, responsive to the first measurement being less than the first threshold, a secondary wireless link to be on standby, the secondary wireless link between the console and the head wearable display, the primary wireless link supporting a higher throughput than the secondary wireless link;
• determine whether a second measurement of the primary wireless link between the console and the head wearable display is less than a second threshold, the second measurement corresponding to the quality metric of the primary wireless link at a second time, wherein the second threshold is less than the first threshold;
• and
• transition, when the second measurement is less than the second threshold, traffic on the primary wireless link to the activated secondary wireless link.
