Method and system for transmitting audio signals - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240305927 titled 'Method and system for transmitting audio signals

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for transmitting audio signals using Bluetooth LE audio technology, including sending data PDUs representing the audio signal wirelessly and providing a big control PDU with time-critical control data.

  • Establishing a wireless link using Bluetooth LE audio between a signal transmission unit and a receiver unit.
  • Transmitting data PDUs representing an audio signal via the wireless link.
  • Providing a big control PDU with time-critical control data in its payload, including a marked CRC value different from the standard CRC value.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Utilization of Bluetooth LE audio technology for audio signal transmission.
  • Transmission of data PDUs representing audio signals wirelessly.
  • Inclusion of time-critical control data in a big control PDU with a marked CRC value.

Potential Applications: This technology can be used in wireless audio devices, such as headphones, speakers, and other audio equipment.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for efficient and reliable transmission of audio signals wirelessly.

Benefits:

  • Improved audio signal transmission quality.
  • Reduced latency in audio signal transmission.
  • Enhanced reliability in wireless audio communication.

Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied in the development of Bluetooth-enabled audio devices for consumer electronics, entertainment systems, and communication devices.

Questions about Bluetooth LE Audio: 1. How does Bluetooth LE audio technology differ from traditional Bluetooth audio transmission methods? 2. What are the potential limitations of using Bluetooth LE audio for high-fidelity audio transmission?


Original Abstract Submitted

there is provided a method for transmitting audio signals, comprising: establishing a wireless link utilizing bluetooth le audio between an audio signal transmission unit and an audio signal receiver unit; transmitting bis data pdus representative of an audio signal via the wireless link from the audio signal transmission unit to the audio signal receiver unit; and providing, by the audio signal transmission unit, a big control pdu with time-critical control data to be transmitted to the audio signal receiver unit as part of its payload, wherein a marked crc value is provided in the standard crc field of said big control pdu which is different from the standard crc value of said big control pdu.
