Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, an initiator device may transmit a protocol data unit (PDU) associated with a first stream during a first subevent within a portion of an event that is shared between the first stream and a second stream. Additionally, or alternatively, the initiator device may transmit a PDU associated with the second stream during a second subevent within the portion of the event that is shared between the first stream and the second stream. Numerous other aspects are described.

Claims (54)

1 . An apparatus for wireless communication at an initiator device, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, individually or collectively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:

transmit a protocol data unit (PDU) associated with a first stream during a first subevent within a portion of a single event that is shared between the first stream and a second stream, wherein the portion of the single event includes the first subevent and a second subevent, and wherein the portion of the single event comprises one or more common subevents shared between the first stream and the second stream;

transmit a PDU associated with the second stream during the second subevent within the portion of the single event that is shared between the first stream and the second stream; or

a combination thereof.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first stream comprises a first connected isochronous stream (CIS) within a connected isochronous group (CIG), and the second stream comprises a second CIS within the CIG.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

transmit a PDU associated with a third stream during a third subevent within the portion of the single event that is shared between the third stream and at least one of the first stream or the second stream.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

transmit a PDU associated with the first stream during a third subevent within a portion of the single event that is not shared with the second stream.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

transmit a PDU associated with the second stream during a third subevent within a portion of the single event that is not shared with the first stream.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first subevent or the second subevent of the single event is shifted in time when used for the second stream relative to when used for the first stream.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the portion of the single event that is shared between the first stream and the second stream is based at least in part on an offset value.

8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

determine to transmit the PDU associated with the first stream based at least in part on a flush point associated with the PDU associated with the first stream.

9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

determine to transmit the PDU associated with the first stream based at least in part on a round robin schedule associated with at least the first stream and the second stream.

10 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first stream is associated with a first access address, and the second stream is associated with a second access address.

11 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first subevent is associated with the second stream, and the PDU associated with the first stream includes a third access address.

12 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second subevent is associated with the first stream, and the PDU associated with the second stream includes a third access address.

13 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first stream and the second stream are associated with a same access address.

14 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the PDU associated with the second stream includes one or more bits in a header indicating that the PDU is for the second stream.

15 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the PDU associated with the second stream is associated with a message integrity check (MIC) to indicate that the PDU is for the second stream.

16 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the PDU associated with the second stream is associated with an inverted cyclic redundancy check (CRC) to indicate that the PDU is for the second stream.

17 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the PDU associated with the second stream is associated with a time offset relative to the PDU associated with the first stream.

18 . An apparatus for wireless communication at an acceptor device, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:

activate a low power mode during one or more first subevents within a portion of a single event that is shared between a first stream for the acceptor device and a second stream, wherein the portion of the single event includes the first subevent and one or more second subevents, and wherein the portion of the single event comprises one or more common subevents shared between the first stream and the second stream; and

listen for a protocol data unit (PDU) associated with the first stream during the one or more second subevents within the single event.

19 . The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the first stream comprises a first connected isochronous stream (CIS) within a connected isochronous group (CIG), and the second stream comprises a second CIS within the CIG.

20 . The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the one or more second subevents are associated with the acceptor device and are sequential relative to the one or more first subevents.

21 . The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the one or more second subevents are associated with the acceptor device and are interleaved with the one or more first subevents.

22 . The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the second stream is associated with the acceptor device.

23 . The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the second stream is associated with an additional acceptor device.

24 . A method of wireless communication performed by an initiator device, comprising:

transmitting a protocol data unit (PDU) associated with a first stream during a first subevent within a portion of a single event that is shared between the first stream and a second stream, wherein the portion of the single event includes the first subevent and a second subevent, and wherein the portion of the single event comprises one or more common subevents shared between the first stream and the second stream;

transmitting a PDU associated with the second stream during the second subevent within the portion of the single event that is shared between the first stream and the second stream; or

a combination thereof.

25 . The method of claim 24 , further comprising:

transmitting a PDU associated with a third stream during a third subevent within the portion of the single event that is shared between the third stream and at least one of the first stream or the second stream.

26 . The method of claim 24 , further comprising:

transmitting a PDU associated with the first stream during a third subevent within a portion of the single event that is not shared with the second stream.

27 . The method of claim 24 , further comprising:

transmitting a PDU associated with the second stream during a third subevent within a portion of the single event that is not shared with the first stream.

28 . The method of claim 24 , further comprising:

determining to transmit the PDU associated with the first stream based at least in part on a flush point associated with the PDU associated with the first stream.

29 . The method of claim 24 , further comprising:

determining to transmit the PDU associated with the first stream based at least in part on a round robin schedule associated with at least the first stream and the second stream.

30 . A method of wireless communication performed by an acceptor device, comprising:

activating a low power mode during one or more first subevents within a portion of a single event that is shared between a first stream for the acceptor device and a second stream, wherein the portion of the single event includes the first subevent and one or more second subevents, and wherein the portion of the single event comprises one or more common subevents shared between the first stream and the second stream; and

listening for a protocol data unit (PDU) associated with the first stream during the one or more second subevents within the single event.
