  • Accommodating interference between wireless streaming and control protocols
    Patent number: 10034159
    Abstract: Disclosed wireless systems, devices, and methods accommodate interference between different communication protocols. One illustrative wireless communications system embodiment includes: an accessory device and a media device. The accessory device supports a wireless streaming protocol and a wireless control protocol that interferes with the wireless streaming protocol. The media device intermittently communicates with the accessory device via the wireless control protocol while streaming an audio signal to the accessory device via the wireless streaming protocol, limiting a duration of each wireless control protocol communication interval to less than a guaranteed packet loss threshold (which exceeds twice the potential packet loss threshold) of the wireless streaming protocol. The devices may each include a radio module and a controller.
