Abstract
This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for transmitting Bluetooth audio data over a Wi-Fi channel associated with one or more Wi-Fi channels. In some instances, a wireless communication device operating as a wireless station (STA) associated with an access point (AP) while operating as a softAP paired with a peripheral device via a Bluetooth protocol receives one or more first data packets over a Wi-Fi channel from the AP, the one or more first data packets carrying audio data intended for the peripheral device. The device processing the audio data based at least in part on a stored Bluetooth profile, and embeds the processed audio data into Ethernet frames of a new Ethertype. The new Ethertype frames are encapsulated within one or more second data packets and transmitted over the Wi-Fi channel to the peripheral device.
