A method for assigning audio channels of audio data content to speakers, each of which is associated with a different one of N speaker nodes of a wireless network. The method is performed by a manager node of the wireless network. The method includes, for each of the N speaker nodes, obtaining a piece of orientation information for each of N−1 other speaker nodes different from the given speaker node, regarding an orientation of a reception antenna of the given speaker node when receiving data sent by each of the N−1 other speaker nodes through the wireless network. The method also includes assigning a different one of the audio channels to a different one of the speaker nodes, as a function of N−1 pieces of orientation information obtained for each of the N speaker nodes.
A method for assigning a plurality of audio channels of audio data content to a plurality of speakers, each of the speakers being associated with a different one of a plurality of N speaker nodes of a wireless network, the method being performed by a manager node of the wireless network, wherein the method comprises:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed a computer, cause the computer to perform a method for assigning a plurality of audio channels of audio data content to a plurality of speakers, each of the speakers being associated with a different one of a plurality of N speaker nodes of a wireless network the method being performed by a manager node of the wireless network, the method comprising:
A manager node of a wireless network, the manager node assigning a plurality of audio channels of audio data content to a plurality of speakers, each of the speakers being associated with a different one of a plurality of N speaker nodes of the wireless network the manager node comprising:
