DYNAMIC ALLOCATION OF WIRELESS CHANNELS FOR APPLICATIONS

1 . A method for dynamic allocation of wireless channels for applications, comprising:

receiving first control data indicating a first wireless media device selected from multiple wireless media devices to activate at a first pre-determined time;

based on the first control data and information indicating transmission channels available for use by the multiple wireless media devices, dynamically assigning a first transmission channel to the first wireless media device, such that no two wireless media devices are active on the same transmission channel at the same time; and

wirelessly transmitting a first control command to the first wireless media device, wherein the first control command comprises a first instruction for the first wireless media device to power on at the first pre-determined time and wirelessly transmit data on the first transmission channel.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a first acknowledgement packet originating from the first wireless media device, wherein the first acknowledgment packet acknowledges receipt of the first instruction, thereby confirming the first wireless media device is active on the first transmission channel.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein signals wirelessly transmitted by the first wireless media device on the first transmission channel are routed to a first channel of a communication bus, and the first channel of the communication bus is mapped to a unique identifier of the first wireless media device.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving second control data indicating a second wireless media device selected from the multiple wireless media devices to deactivate at a second pre-determined time; and

wirelessly transmitting a second control command to the second wireless media device, wherein the second control command comprises a second instruction for the second wireless media device to power off at the second pre-determined time.

5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

receiving a second acknowledgement packet originating from the second wireless media device, wherein the second acknowledgment packet acknowledges receipt of the second instruction, thereby confirming the second wireless media device is deactivated on an assigned transmission channel before allowing another wireless media device to utilize the same transmission channel.

6 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the first wireless media device and the second wireless media device are the same wireless media device.

7 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the first wireless media device and the second wireless media device are different wireless media devices.

8 . The method of claim 4 , wherein each wireless media device comprises a wireless microphone.

9 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the communication bus comprises an audio bus including multiple audio channels, and each assigned transmission channel is mapped to an audio channel of the audio bus that corresponds to a unique identifier of a wireless media device assigned the transmission channel.

10 . A system for dynamic allocation of wireless channels for applications, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a non-transitory processor-readable memory device storing instructions that when executed by the at least one processor causes the at least one processor to perform operations including:

receiving first control data indicating a first wireless media device selected from multiple wireless media devices to activate at a first pre-determined time;

based on the first control data and information indicating transmission channels available for use by the multiple wireless media devices, dynamically assigning a first transmission channel to the first wireless media device, such that no two wireless media devices are active on the same transmission channel at the same time; and

wirelessly transmitting a first control command to the first wireless media device, wherein the first control command comprises a first instruction for the first wireless media device to power on at the first pre-determined time and wirelessly transmit data on the first transmission channel.

11 . The system of claim 10 , the operations further comprising:

receiving a first acknowledgement packet originating from the first wireless media device, wherein the first acknowledgment packet acknowledges receipt of the first instruction, thereby confirming the first wireless media device is active on the first transmission channel.

12 . The system of claim 10 , wherein signals wirelessly transmitted by the first wireless media device on the first transmission channel are routed to a first channel of a communication bus, and the first channel of the communication bus is mapped to a unique identifier of the first wireless media device.

13 . The system of claim 10 , the operations further comprising:

receiving second control data indicating a second wireless media device selected from the multiple wireless media devices to deactivate at a second pre-determined time; and

wirelessly transmitting a second control command to the second wireless media device, wherein the second control command comprises a second instruction for the second wireless media device to power off at the second pre-determined time.

14 . The system of claim 13 , the operations further comprising:

receiving a second acknowledgement packet originating from the second wireless media device, wherein the second acknowledgment packet acknowledges receipt of the second instruction, thereby confirming the second wireless media device is deactivated on an assigned transmission channel before allowing another wireless media device to utilize the same transmission channel.

15 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the first wireless media device and the second wireless media device are the same wireless media device.

16 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the first wireless media device and the second wireless media device are different wireless media devices.

17 . The system of claim 13 , wherein each wireless media device comprises a wireless microphone.

18 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the communication bus comprises an audio bus including multiple audio channels, and each assigned transmission channel is mapped to an audio channel of the audio bus that corresponds to a unique identifier of a wireless media device assigned the transmission channel.

19 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions to perform a method for dynamic allocation of wireless channels for applications, the method comprising:

receiving first control data indicating a first wireless media device selected from multiple wireless media devices to activate at a first pre-determined time;

based on the first control data and information indicating transmission channels available for use by the multiple wireless media devices, dynamically assigning a first transmission channel to the first wireless media device, such that no two wireless media devices are active on the same transmission channel at the same time; and

wirelessly transmitting a first control command to the first wireless media device, wherein the first control command comprises a first instruction for the first wireless media device to power on at the first pre-determined time and wirelessly transmit data on the first transmission channel.

20 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 19 , wherein signals wirelessly transmitted by the first wireless media device on the first transmission channel are routed to a first channel of a communication bus, and the first channel of the communication bus is mapped to a unique identifier of the first wireless media device.
