    Abstract: Various arrangements are presented for increasing a link margin of a wireless audio link. A short-range wireless communication link having a first physical layer (PHY) symbol rate is established between an audio source device and an audio output device. An audio stream is transmitted using the communication link, which includes a connected isochronous stream (CIS) link. A number of packet retransmissions are detected on the CIS. Based on the detected number of packet retransmissions on the CIS, the first PHY symbol rate of the CIS can be altered to a second PHY symbol rate for transmitting the audio stream.

    Abstract: Various arrangements of wireless earbuds are presented. A first earbud, can include a first speaker, a first processing system, and a first wireless communication interface, that communicates with an audio source device using Bluetooth communications. A second earbud can include a second speaker, a second processing system, and a second wireless communication interface, that communicates with the audio source device and the first earbud using Bluetooth communications. The first earbud and the second earbud may be configured to wirelessly communicate with each other following completion of a first connected isochronous stream (CIS) event for the first earbud and second CIS event for the second earbud within a connected isochronous group (CIG) event.

    Abstract: Various arrangements for short-range wireless communication between audio output devices, such as true wireless earbuds, are presented herein. A first earbud of a pair of earbuds may determine that a first audio packet addressed to the first earbud from an audio source was not properly received. However, a second earbud of the pair of earbuds may properly receive the first audio packet addressed to the first earbud. The second earbud can then, directly to the first earbud, transmit a cross acknowledgement indicating that the second earbud properly received the audio packet.

    Abstract: Various arrangements for short-range wireless communication are presented herein. An earbud of a pair of true wireless earbuds can receive an audio packet addressed to the other earbud of the pair. A single connected isochronous stream (CIS) within a connected isochronous group (CIG) may be present between the pair of true wireless earbuds and an audio source which transmitted the audio packet. The earbud can transmit a cross-acknowledgement indicating receipt of the audio packet to the other earbud. The earbud can also transmit audio data from the audio packet to the other earbud after the cross acknowledgement.

    Abstract: Various arrangements for using a short-range wireless communication link are presented herein. A wireless communication device can transmit data using an asynchronous connection-oriented logical transport (ACL) of the short-range wireless communication link. Monitoring for a high throughput event on the ACL of the short-range wireless communication link can be performed. Based on detecting the high throughput event on the ACL, a first physical layer (PHY) symbol rate of the ACL can be increased to a second PHY symbol rate.

    Abstract: Features described herein pertain to systems and methods for wirelessly providing an audio stream. When audio that is to be output to an audio output device is associated with an application a set of parameters for modifying an established Connected Isochronous Stream (CIS) of a wireless link between an audio source and the audio output device can be determined and the CIS of the wireless link can be modified based on the set of parameters. The audio that is associated with the application can be output to the audio output device using the modified CIS of the wireless link.

    Abstract: Various arrangements are presented that provide improvements of short-range wireless communications, such as Bluetooth LE Audio communication. An audio source device may determine that unidirectional audio is to be output. In response to determining that unidirectional audio is to be output, a first physical layer (PHY) configuration can be set for a first communication link in the downlink direction from the audio source device to the audio output device. A second PHY configuration can be set for the communication link in the uplink direction from the audio output device to the audio source device. The first PHY configuration has a greater symbol rate than the second PHY configuration.
