The patent application does not specify how the system adapts to fluctuations in network bandwidth or device connectivity.

What security measures are in place to protect data transmitted over the network?

The patent application does not address the security aspects of the communication links in the Bluetooth network.


Original Abstract Submitted

various arrangements for managing a plurality of multimedia communication links in a point-to-multipoint bluetooth network established between a source device and a plurality of sink devices are presented. an initial set of values of configuration parameters respectively related to each sink device of the plurality of sink devices can be determined. an initial value of a maximum bandwidth usage parameter related to the point-to-multipoint bluetooth network can be determined. a new set of values of the configuration parameters different from the initial set of values can be determined. the new set of values may be determined to allocate bandwidth usage values between the plurality of multimedia communication links without exceeding the value of the maximum bandwidth usage parameter.
