chapter lc latency and qos |
the bits per sample at the encoder and decoder are local settings and may be different in |
most cases they are set to |
for unicast streams an acceptor can expose which combinations of these values it supports |
along with a preference for which configuration is used with a specific use case an initiator |
makes a selection from the supported values exposed by each acceptor to configure each |
audio stream |
to limit these to a sensible number of combinations bap defines sixteen configurations for |
the lc codec to help drive interoperability these are reproduced below in table and |
cover sampling frequencies of khz to khz these can be found in bap tables |

table bap defined codec configuration settings |
for broadcast streams where the broadcast source has no knowledge of the receiving |
devices it has to make a unilateral decision on the lc parameters it will use bap curre ntly |
mandates that every broadcast receiver must be capable of decoding ms lc frames |
encoded at khz with a byte sdu and khz with a byte sdu so a broadcast |
source using these values knows that its audio streams can be decoded by every bluetooth |
section the lc codec |
le audio device |
some top level audio profiles mandate support for receiving higher quality encoded lc |
audio streams tmap mandates support for a range of codec configurat ions that employ |
khz sampling ms and ms frames and a variety of bitrates however a broadcast |
source with no connection to all of the receiving devices cannot know whether or not such a |
stream can be decoded well look at the implications for b roadcast design later in the |

packet loss concealment plc |
an annoying feature of wireless transmission is that packets get lost for bluetooth which |
shares the ghz spectrum with wi fi baby monitor s and a host of other wireless |
products thats generally as a result of interference the bluetooth specification is one of |
the most robust radio standards employing adaptive frequency hopping to try and avoid any |
interference but there are occasions w hen data will be lost if the audio source is a phone or |
a pc which is also using wi fi or has other bluetooth peripherals there will also be |
occasions when they need priority which results in a bluetooth le audio transmission |
being missed well look at ways to mitigate these later on but the reality is that occasionally |
a packet will be irretrievably lost |
unfortunately losing a packet in an audio stream is very noticeable and something that |
annoys users to try and conceal it a number of techniques have evolved inserting silence |
is generally annoying unless it happens to be preceded by a silent or ve ry quiet moment |
repeating the previous frame may work but becomes noticeable if there are consecutive |
missed frames |
to provide a better listening experience the industry has developed a range of packet loss |
concealment algorithms which attempt to co nceal the missing audio by predicting what it |
was most likely to be these work very well with voice and generally quite well with music |
although if a segment with or close to an attack transient is lost that is difficult to conceal |
the lc specifica tion includes a packet loss concealment algorithm which has been |
developed to match the lc codec it is applied whenever the b ad frame indication flag |
signals a lost or corrupted frame or when the decoder detects an internal bit error it is |
recommende d that it or an alternative plc algorithm is always used |

lc latency |
we looked at the basics of latency at the start of the chapter but its important to |
understand it in more detail |
figure the component parts of latency |
figure illustrates the main components of latency showing how it is built up across the |
initiator and acceptor any frame based codec starts by imposing a delay due to the |
sampling of the audio for a ms frame length the standard frame length in le audio |
that accounts for the first ms of latency once the incoming audio frame has been |
sampled the encoding can start which for lc takes about ms before it has a fully |
encoded sdu to pass forward for transmission |
the diagram shows transmission starting immediately if the receiver gets a valid pack et on |
