A Bluetooth component (e.g., a Bluetooth chip) and a digital signal processing (DSP) component (e.g., an audio DSP) of a device may directly handle link condition sensing (e.g., link quality monitoring) and audio bitrate determination. The Bluetooth component may perform link condition sensing (e.g., link quality monitoring) and the Bluetooth component and/or the DSP component may perform link condition processing and audio bitrate determination. Encoding scheme (e.g., audio bitrate) determination and modification may be performed independently by the Bluetooth component and DSP component, such that encoding schemes may be adapted to link conditions while other hardware (e.g., connected to the DSP) is operating in a low power or sleep state. In some cases, the Bluetooth component may sense link conditions and transmit bitrate information directly to audio encoding blocks of the DSP component.

Apparatus and methods for maintaining a valid radio channel list that may be updated dynamically without user intervention based on changes in the device location and the availability of an antenna are disclosed herein. For example, a device capable of performing a background low power search that initiates a new search based on changes in the geographic location of the device. This search may run based on the state of the radio and geographic location changes making sure the radio channels are updated in the background based on the geographic location with no user intervention required.
