Publication number: 20230269596Abstract: An apparatus and method for transmitting audio with coexisting wireless networks. In one embodiment, a wireless device includes a first wireless network controller and a second wireless network controller. The first wireless network controller and the second wireless network controller are configured to access a wireless communication medium via a shared antenna, and to transmit, via the wireless communication medium, data received from a host device. The second wireless network controller includes an audio stream detector configured to determine, based on the contents of the data received from the host device, whether an audio stream is to be transmitted via the second wireless network controller, and to request that the second wireless network controller be given access priority to the antenna over the first wireless network controller, based on a determination that the audio stream is to be transmitted via the second wireless network controller.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2023Publication date: August 24, 2023Inventors: Yonathan Shavit, Alon Cheifetz, Alon Paycher, Dotan Ziv

Patent number: 11405935Abstract: Communication between a source device and one or more pairs of accessory devices and between accessory devices within pairs of accessory devices is scheduled using slot availability masks (SAMs). A primary accessory device provides to the source device information about requirements for communication between the primary accessory device and a secondary accessory device. The source device determines a SAM map that specifies a periodic cycle of time slots, with time slots marked as available or unavailable for transmission and/or reception. The SAM map satisfies requirements to avoid collisions between communication between the source device and the accessory devices and communication between accessory devices within pairs of accessory devices. When multiple pairs of accessory devices establish connections with the source device, internal communication between accessory devices within pairs of accessory devices are aligned to use at least a common overlapping set of time slots.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Alon Paycher, Sriram Hariharan, Yonathan Shavit, Assaf Kaplan

Patent number: 9712951Abstract: A method and system for an improved communication mode for Bluetooth wireless devices is disclosed. Packets used in the improved communication mode are encoded using a convolutional encoder and transmitted with a particular modulation index such that the improved communication mode provides an improved link margin with respect to a communication mode specified in a Bluetooth wireless communication protocol. In this regard, the improved communication mode allows Bluetooth wireless devices to continue to communicate when a communication link between the Bluetooth wireless devices degrades, whereas otherwise the connection would be dropped. Furthermore, the Bluetooth wireless devices seamlessly switch between the improved communication mode and other Bluetooth communication modes without renegotiating the connection.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2015Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Gilad Kirshenberg, Alon Paycher, Ran Katz, Yonathan Shavit

Patent number: 8787403Abstract: A system includes a controller that provides an output control signal based on two or more control inputs. The controller determines an indication of radio frequency (RF) bandwidth availability based on a given one of the control inputs. The output control signal can correspond to the RF bandwidth availability and status of at least one other wireless condition affecting RF bandwidth. An audio quality adjuster can adjust quality parameters used to encode an audio stream for one or more audio sinks based on the output control signal.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2012Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Yonathan Shavit, Alon Paycher, Yaniv Rabin, Dotan Ziv
