Abstract
Aspects of a method and system for half duplex audio in a Bluetooth stereo headset are provided. A service type and/or service activity levels may be detected over a link in a duplex communication system. The link may be dynamically changed according to the detected service activity levels in both direction of the link. The duplex communication system may be a communication system capable of supporting duplex communication, for example, a Bluetooth system, a 3GPP system, a WiMAX system, or a WiFi system. The link may be a synchronous connection-oriented (SCO) link such as the SCO link. The duplex communication system may be enabled to determine an operating mode, whether symmetric or asymmetric, based on the detected service type and/or the detected service activity levels over the SCO link. In this regard, the SCO link may be dynamically switched from symmetric to asymmetric operating mode and vice versa.
