Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices seamlessly playback data files using one or more wireless connections. Methods include establishing a first wireless connection and a second wireless connection between a first device and a second device, the first wireless connection using a first communication protocol. Methods further include transmitting audio data via the first wireless connection and determining a switch should be initiated based on one or more signal quality metrics representing an estimate of a quality of the first wireless connection. Methods also include operating the second wireless connection in an active mode and switching to the second wireless connection using a second communication protocol, and the switching comprising beginning encapsulation of the audio data in Bluetooth packets for transmission in accordance with the second communication protocol, wherein the Bluetooth packets are encapsulated in one or more data packets of the second communication protocol.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices seamlessly playback data files using one or more wireless connections. Methods include establishing a first wireless connection between a source device and a sink device, the first wireless connection using a first transmission protocol and transmitting audio data via the first wireless connection. Methods further include determining a switch should be initiated based on one or more signal quality metrics, the one or more signal quality metrics representing, at least in part, an estimate of a quality of the first wireless connection. Methods also include switching to a second wireless connection between the source device and the sink device, the second wireless connection using a second transmission protocol, and the second wireless connection using data packets encapsulated for transmission in accordance with the second transmission protocol.
