Original Abstract Submitted
role switch between wirelessly paired master/slave devices may be performed without perceived glitches in audio. the devices negotiate an anchor point, such as a point in time or a point in relation to other events, for performing the role switch. to prepare for the role switch prior to the anchor point, the devices communicate a variety of information, such as information for communicating with the host device after the role switch and information for bit processing after the role switch. the slave device may use such information to serve in the master role, without the host knowing that a role switch occurred.
