this allows an acceptor to make a decision on what different initiators can do such as |
controlling which devices can stream m edia to it or establish an audio stream for a phone call |
on a per client basis how this is managed is up to the implementation and it is down to the |
acceptor to manage the different namespaces required to do this when implemented it |
provides a way fo r acceptors to set connection policies based on use cases which was not |
possible with bluetooth classic audio profiles |
ascs the audio stream control service |
pacs specifies the way that an acceptor exposes its properties and what it is available to do |
at any point in time for most devices it will include a wide range of options of codec settings |
and contexts whether it can act as a source andor sink and which audio locations it |
support s that range needs to be narrowed down to individual sets of parameters to establish |
audio streams typically because of current resource constraints such as when an acceptor is |
supporting multi ple audio streams which may need different parameters th is is where the |
audio stream control service comes into play by defining endpoints for each audio stream |
the audio stream control service is implemented on an acceptor and defines how an |
initiator can configure and establish an audio stream between the two of them using the |
procedures defined in bap |
chapter setting up unicast audio streams |
audio stream endpoints |
at the heart of the audio stream control service is the concept of audio stream endpoints |
an audio stream endpoint or ase is defined as the origin or d estination of a unicast audio |
stream in an acceptor an initiator does not contain any ases it configures the ases on |
the acceptors if audio data flows into an ase its a sink ase if it flows out of it its a |
source ase both of which are described by read only characteristics an acceptor must |
expose at least one ase for every audio stream it is capable of supporting |
for each ase an acceptor maintains an instance of a state machine for each connected |
initiat or the state of an ase is controlled by each initiator although in some cases an |
acceptor can autonomously change the state of an ase whereas a sink and source pac |
provide an initiator with device wide properties a sink and source ase represent the c urrent |
state and properties of each connection these can be read using the sink or source ase |
characteristics which will return the information shown in table |
field size |
octets description |
aseid a unique id for each client namespace |
asestate x idle |
x codec configured |
x qos configured |
x enabling |
x streaming |
x disabling |
x releasing |
state specific ase parameters varies depends on the state see ascs |
tables to |
table ase characteristic format |
figure shows the state machine for a sink ase the state machine for a source is slightly |
more complex as it contains an additional disabling state well start with the sink ase state |
machine as the journey through to enabling an ase is essentially the same up until the |
streaming state then look at the differences when we get to the disabling state |
section ascs the audio stream control service |
figure the state machine for a sink ase |
the ascs defines how an initiator moves each ase on an acceptor through these states by |
writing a succession of commands to the ase control point characteristic using the opcodes |
listed in table they are defined in section of ascs |
opcode operation description |
x config codec configures an ases codec parameters |
x config qos configures the ases preferred qos parameters |
x enable applies the cis parameters and starts coupling an ase |
to a corresponding cis |
x receiver start |
ready completes the cis establishment and signals that an |
ase is rea dy to receive or transmit audio data |
x disable starts to decouple an ase from its cis |
x receiver stop |
ready |
source ase only signals that the initiator is ready to stop receiving data |
and completes decoupling a source ase from its cis |
x update metadata updates metadata for an ase |
x release returns an ase to the idle or codec configured state |
table ase control point operation opcodes |
opcodes x config codec and x config qos can be used to transition the state of |
an ase or update the configuration of an ase which is already in that state opcode x |
updates the metadata but doesnt change the state all of the other opcodes result in a |
transition to another state in the ase state machine |
chapter setting up unicast audio streams |
an initiator can perform an ase control point operation on a single ase or multiple ases |
on an acceptor as long as the ases are in the same state if the cig includes multiple cises |
either on one or multiple acceptors the initiator should ensure that it has collected the |
relevant information from every ase on every acceptor before moving the ases on each |
acceptor to the enabling state thats repeating what cap says which is to perform the bap |
procedures on all members of a coordinated set in the correct order in most cases all of |
the acceptors within a cig will be members of a coor dinated set however ad hoc sets are |
allowed in cap where the acceptors can be allocated to work together without being |
members of a coordinated set in which case the order of configuration is left to the |
implementation |
a feature of ases is that an acceptor supports a separate instance of each ase for every |
current connection to an initiator if there are multiple initiators with active acl connections |
to an acceptor the acceptor will maintain an independent set of ase values for each initiator |
it maintains a different aseid namespace for each initiator whilst the aseid must be |
unique within each namespace the same aseid can exist in different namespaces that |
means that each aseid and its corresponding handle remains unique managing tha t is |
down to implementation a change to an ase in one namespace does not affect the state of |
the same ase in a different namespace although the change may result in an application |
moving a cis from one ase to another one as a result of that change but that is |
implementation specific |
where acceptors have built up a connection history to multiple initiators they may decide to |
maintain sets of ases with cached configurations this simplifies the process of transitioning |
to audio streams from a differ ent initiator although the specification allows an acceptor to |
have concurrent audio streams enabled with multiple initiators in practice that requires a lot |
