Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to systems, apparatuses, and methods for wirelessly delivering multi-channel audio over a packet based network with tight synchronization, high fidelity, and/or low delay as described above. The systems can include a source device that provides multi-channel audio to a distributor device, which wirelessly distributes the multi-channel audio over the packet based network to audio rendering devices, referred to as “sink” devices. The distributor device and the sink devices each include a playback clock that is used to read audio samples of the multi-channel audio from a local memory and drive a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) coupled to a speaker to render the audio samples.

Claim (Index 9):
A distributor device comprising:\n a buffer configured to store audio samples received from a source device; a playback clock configured to provide a playback timer based on a playback clock used to playback, at the distributor device, a first portion of the audio samples retrieved from the buffer; an application level processor configured to place a second, shuffled portion of audio samples retrieved from the buffer in a packet for transmission to a plurality of sink devices: and a distribution transceiver configured to transmit the packet to the plurality of sink devices, wherein the distribution transceiver is further configured to designate one of the plurality of sink devices to acknowledge receipt of the packet.
