Abstract

A method applied into a controller of a wireless Bluetooth device includes: providing a first flag and a second flag; asserting the first flag when the controller successfully receives the particular packet transmitted from the audio gateway; asserting the second flag when the controller successfully receives an acknowledgement from a secondary device wherein a reception of the acknowledgement indicates that the secondary device successfully receives the particular packet; and transmitting an acknowledgement of a particular packet to an audio gateway when the first flag and the second flag are asserted.

Claims (4)

1. A method applied into a wireless Bluetooth device, comprising:

receiving a particular packet from an audio gateway through a first piconet; and

transmitting a particular acknowledgement to the audio gateway through the first piconet when the particular packet is received and an acknowledgement corresponding to the particular packet is received through a second piconet;

wherein the particular packet from the audio gateway through the first piconet is received at a first time slot, and the acknowledgement corresponding to the particular packet received through the second piconet is at a second time slot which is different from the first time slot; and, the first time slot is later than the second time slot, and the particular acknowledgement is transmitted to the audio gateway through the first piconet at a specific time slot next to the first time slot.
