Abstract
A method for communication is disclosed and may include dynamically changing the bit-rate of an audio and/or video stream communicated over a Bluetooth connection based on conditions of the Bluetooth connection. A rate at which corresponding audio and/or video samples, for said audio and/or video stream, are encoded for communication via the Bluetooth connection, may be based on Bluetooth piconet event information. The bit-rate of the audio and/or video stream may be dynamically adjusting based on bandwidth of the Bluetooth connection. The bit-rate of the audio and/or video stream may be dynamically increased based on bandwidth of the Bluetooth connection. The bit-rate of the audio and/or video stream may be dynamically decreased based on bandwidth of the Bluetooth connection. The audio and/or video samples may be encoded utilizing a variable bit rate.
