Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method, device, and computer program for controlling audio data in a wireless communication system, and a recording medium therefor. A method for controlling audio data by a first device in a wireless communication system, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, may comprise the steps of: acquiring an audio policy; receiving information regarding a plurality of audio streams from one or more second devices; selecting one or more audio streams on the basis of the information regarding the plurality of audio streams and the audio policy; and performing a setup procedure for the selected one or more audio streams.

Claims (23)

1. A method performed by an acceptor in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

providing, by the acceptor, one or more initiators with information about a preference for participation of the acceptor in a specific use case, wherein, based on type values, the acceptor implements a policy to prioritize among one or more use cases of audio streams;

signaling, by the acceptor to the one or more initiators, an availability of the acceptor for the one or more use cases; and

establishing with an initiator an audio stream with a type value based on the one or more available use cases.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the acceptor prioritizes a first audio stream with a first type value from a first initiator over a second audio stream with a second type value from a second initiator.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first type value corresponds to a ringtone, and the second type value corresponds to a media.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more initiators are one or more of a phone, television, media player, and console, and the acceptor is a headset, earbud, hearing aid, or loudspeaker.

5. A device of an acceptor in a wireless communication system, the device comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

provide one or more initiators with information about a preference for participation of the acceptor in a specific use case, wherein, based on type values, the acceptor implements a policy to prioritize among one or more use cases of audio streams;

signal, to the one or more initiators, an availability of the acceptor for the one or more use cases; and

establish with an initiator an audio stream with a type value based on the one or more available use cases.

6. A second device of an initiator in a wireless communication system, the device comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

obtain, from an acceptor, information about a preference for participation of the acceptor in a specific use case, wherein, based on type values, the acceptor implements a policy to prioritize among one or more use cases of audio streams;

receive, from the acceptor, a signal related to an availability of the acceptor for the one or more use cases; and

establish with the acceptor an audio stream with a type value based on the one or more available use cases.
