Patent number: 11864025Abstract: Exemplary embodiments include a system having a first wireless audio output device configured to connect to a source device via a first piconet and a second wireless audio output device configured to connect to the first wireless audio output device via a second piconet. A schedule of the first piconet includes a plurality of slots associated with an audio packet, a first subset of the slots used by the source device to transmit the audio packet, the first and second wireless audio output devices tuning to the first piconet to listen for the transmissions of the audio packet, and when, after a last one of the first subset of slots, the first or second wireless audio output devices did not receive the audio packet, the first and second wireless audio output devices exchange information via the second piconet such that the both wireless audio output device receive the audio packet.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Anatoli Gostev, Louay Alsakka, Axel Berny, Tad Dreier, Joachim Hammerschmidt, Lei Li, Xiaojun Chen, Vusthla Sunil Reddy, Peter M. Agboh, Mohit Narang

Patent number: 10887048Abstract: A sink device is configured to establish a Bluetooth connection with a source device. The sink device receives a transmission from the source device that includes a plurality of data blocks, an item of check information, and a plurality of parity blocks during a transmission time duration. The sink device determines, prior to receiving an entirety of the transmission, whether at least one of received data blocks includes an error based on at least the item of check information and, when the at least one of the received data blocks includes the error and prior to receiving all of the plurality of parity blocks, the sink device performs an error correction operation on a first one of the received data blocks based on a first one of the parity blocks.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2019Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Alon Paycher, Naftali Sommer, Tal Inbar, Sriram Hariharan, Axel Berny, Roi Faust, Eli Ochayon, Sreeraman Anantharaman
