Abstract: The invention relates to a method for communicating data via a shared wifeless channel. The method comprises the steps of preparing a data packet for transmission via the shared wireless channel (10); detecting any signal presence in the channel (20); and transmitting the data packet if no signal has been detected in the detecting step C60). Further, the method comprises the step of transmitting the data packet if transmission requirements related to the data packet are met, irrespective of any signal detection in the detecting step (30,26).

Abstract: An integrated circuit system is provided for wireless data communication, comprising a set of hardware components and a port for connection to an RF antenna or an RF Front-End-Module, wherein at least a subset of hardware components is arranged for being shared for simultaneous wireless data communication based on a first protocol and a second protocol. Preferably, the first protocol includes a Wi-Fi standard and the second protocol includes a dedicated protocol for wireless audio communication.

Abstract: A system and method transmit a data stream from a source to a destination over a communication channel. A transmitter includes devices for processing inputs to assemble data packets for the data stream, and a multiplexer for assembling a data frame to be transmitted over the communication channel, in which each data frame has at least one fixed slot. The multiplexer sets at least one freely allocatable time slot in each data frame. Retransmission control devices connected to the multiplexer retransmit a specific data packet which is not properly received by the destination, using one of the freely allocatable slots.
