Mixed standard accessory device communication utilizing host-coordinated transmission

A host device for providing wireless data communication, the host device comprising:

• a processor;
• an accessory radio in data communication with the processor;
• and
• a hardware storage device in data communication with the processor, the hardware storage device having instructions stored thereon configured to, when executed by the processor, cause the host device to:
• obtain a radio ID for each accessory device of a plurality of accessory devices,
• group the plurality of accessory devices into at least one OFDMA device and at least one non-OFDMA device based at least partially on the radio IDs, and
• send a trigger signal to the at least one OFDMA device;
• and
• after receiving a first response signal from the at least one OFDMA device in response to the trigger signal, receive a second response signal from the at least one non-OFDMA device, wherein at least one of the first response signal and the second response signal includes discrete event data from a plurality of discrete input events.

A system for providing wireless data communication, the system comprising:

• a plurality of accessory devices including:
• at least one OFDMA accessory device;
• and
• at least one non-OFDMA accessory device;
• and
• a host device including:
• a processor;
• an accessory radio in data communication with the processor;
• and
• a hardware storage device in data communication with the processor, the hardware storage device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the host device to:
• obtain a radio ID for each accessory device of the plurality of accessory devices,
• group the plurality of accessory devices into at least one OFDMA device and at least one non-OFDMA device based at least partially on the radio IDs, and
• set a timing schedule for communication with the at least one OFDMA device and at least one non-OFDMA device.
