Abstract
Described are techniques for enabling a computing device, such as a slave device using a Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution Protocol (A2DP), to determine times when a master device is likely to be idle, during which communications using an alternate protocol, such as Wi-Fi may be exchanged. The length of a delay period may be determined based in part on counts of successive communications received from a master device. The length of a transmission period for use of the alternate protocol may be determined based in part on lengths of time between sets of communications received from a master device. If no communication is received from the master device for a length of time greater than or equal to the delay period, data may be communicated using the alternate protocol for a length of time less than or equal to the transmission period.
