Abstract:
1. A method for providing wireless communications over allocated and unallocated transmission slots of a polling cycle in a Bluetooth system, comprising: polling a first Bluetooth-enabled wireless device according to a Bluetooth protocol; recording upload activity received from the first wireless device in response to the polling to determine whether one or more allocated transmission slots allocated to the first wireless device are being used to transfer a maximum amount of data allowed by the one or more allocated transmission slots; and allocating one or more of a plurality of unallocated transmission slots to the first wireless device based on the recorded upload activity if it is determined that the one or more allocated transmission slots allocated to the first wireless device are being used to transfer the maximum amount of data allowed by the one or more allocated transmission slots, wherein the Bluetooth system is configurable to reallocate transmission slots in the cycle in which the recorded upload activity is received and configurable to reallocate transmission slots in a subsequent cycle to the cycle in which the recorded upload activity is received.
