PRIORITIZING SHORT-RANGE WIRELESS PACKETS FOR TIME-SENSITIVE APPLICATIONS

摘要

In embodiments, the client station operates to identify and prioritize time-sensitive short-range wireless packets, such as time-sensitive Bluetooth low energy (BTLE) packets, in a congested wireless environment. The client station may identify time sensitive packets using, for example, the type of device providing the packets, the state of the device providing the packets, and / or the type of data contained in the packets. The client station may provide priority scheduling to time sensitive packets; Pausing communication of other types of Bluetooth packets, such as A2DP packets; Reducing the data rate of other types of Bluetooth packets, such as A2DP packets; And / or to extend the data packet size of time-sensitive BTLE packets. Thus, time sensitive packets may be prioritized over packets associated with the same wireless protocol and / or different wireless protocols.
