Abstract: This disclosure describes an enhanced Bluetooth channel establishment. A device may identify an isochronous connection oriented (ICO) command for a Bluetooth communication. The device may send a first ICO start command from a first link layer (LL) to a second LL, and the first LL may receive a first ICO start confirmation from the second LL. The first LL may then send a second ICO start command to a third LL, and the first LL may receive a second ICO start confirmation from the third LL. A third ICO start confirmation may then be sent. The device may also have an ICO request and response exchange between LL's.

Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, apparatus, and systems related to enhanced Bluetooth triggering of device Wi-Fi radios. A device may determine a first Bluetooth data packet including transport data and an indication of a Wi-Fi service discovery, the transport data including a first sub-field and a second sub-field, the first sub-field indicating a length of the second sub-field, and the second sub-field indicating one or more Wi-Fi services supported by the device. A Bluetooth radio of the device may send the first Bluetooth data packet including an indication of a Wi-Fi service. The device may identify a second Bluetooth data packet received by the Bluetooth radio from a second device, the second Bluetooth data packet indicating that the Wi-Fi service is supported by the second device. The device may use a Wi-Fi radio to send one or more Wi-Fi frames associated with the Wi-Fi service to the second device.
