each ase to the codec configured state the initiator has already determined which codec |
configurations are supported so it now selects the config uration it wants for its current |
application and sends that along with a target latency and phy the format of parameters |
for this operation are defined in table of ascs and summarized in table |
section configuring an as e and a cig |
parameter description |
target latency i x low latency |
x balanced latency and reliability |
x high reliability |
target phy i x m phy |
x m phy |
x coded phy |
codecid i codec configuration id length and configuration |
as described in section sink pac and source |
pac characteristics codecspecificconfiguration i |
these terms are generic and do not necessarily align with the configurations defined as low latency |
or high reliability in bap |
table state specific parameters for the config codec operation table of ascs |
there are a number of points to highlight here the first is that these parameters do not need |
to be the same for each audio stream with a bidirectional cis the parameters even the phy |
and codec can be different for each direction in most cases th ey are not but if youre |
streaming music in one direction and using the return direction for voice control they may |
well be currently most profiles require that bluetooth le audio is run using the le m |
phy |
the second is that the first two of these parameters which are prefixed with target are |
recommendations the acceptor will use these recommendations to select the qos |
parameters it feels best satisfy the requirement and fit its current status then return those |
choices in response to this co mmand |
in contrast the codec id and codec specific configuration parameters are a statement of |
fact and a directive to the ase to use specific values the codec configuration is generally |
based on the top level profile being used which builds on the mandatory options specified in |
bap we looked at mandatory and optional qos configurations defined by bap and other |
profiles in chapter codec and qos in most cases the initiator will choose one of these |
predefine d configurations although it could also use settings for an additional codec which is |
defined in a top layer profile along with its recommended qos settings or a manufacturer |
specific codec it could also make up its own configuration although that run s the risk of poor |
interoperability the predefined configurations have been through a lot of testing to ensure |
they perform well and should always be the preferred option |
implementers should note that there are two very similar sounding codec specific l tv |
structures the first the codecspecificcapabilities ltv structure is used in pac records |
and normally indicates a range of capabilities the second the codecspecificconfiguration |
ltv structure is used in the codec configuration operation described above and is for a |
single specific configuration the syntax of th e individual parameters is subtly different |
chapter setting up unicast audio streams |
throughout this process there is a degree of the devices dancing around each other making |
recommendations so that the other can provide information on what best suits its current |
state of resources this isn t a true negotiation its better described as an informed |
enumeration allowing the initiator to populate a command to send to its controller to |
configure each cis even then some of the parameters in its hci command are also |
recommendations with the controller having the final say over how the cig is configured |
a third and important point to note is that whilst the acceptor notifies the range of codec |
parameters it can support through its pac records the initiator writes specific values which |
define how it will configure the encoded audio stream some of these are defined with |
different values in the supported settings the acceptor sends and the actual settings the |
initiator writes for example as we saw above the supportedsamplingfrequencie s ltv is |
a bitfield whereas the samplingfrequency ltv is a specific value mapped to a sampling |
frequency so if an ase supports only khz the acceptor will notify a value of x in |
response the initiator will configure the ase codec to support khz sampling by writing |
x but to return to the process |
having obtained the information about the ases their capabilities and availability the |
initiator can issue a single write without res ponse command with an opcode of x which |
includes an arra y of all of the aseids that it wants to configure on an acceptor which can |
cover both directions the acceptor will respond by updating and then notifying its ase |
control point characteristic including an appropriate response code x if its ok t he |
acceptor then transitions all of the specified ases to the codec configured state once it |
has done that the acceptor will notify the new state of each ase including the following |
statespecific parameters summarized in table which are described in table of |
ascs |
field description |
framing support for framed or unframed isoal pdus |

preferred retransmission |
number rtn how many times packets should be retransmitted |

min max preferred range of presentation delay |
codec configuration the codec configuration for this ase |
table notified parameters following a configcodec opcode table of ascs |
that concludes the bap codec configuration procedure and moves us on the to the qos |
configuration procedure bap |
section configuring an ase and a cig |
the bap qos configuration procedure |
at the end of the codec configuration procedure the initiators host will compare the |
configuration parameters that each acceptor notified at the end of the codec configuration |
procedure with the requirements of its current application and decide what values it wants to |
use within the limits of what it has been told |
before issuing the config qos command it is good practice for the initiator to send these |
parameters to its controller using the le set cig parameters hci command this will |
confirm that the selected parameter set can be supported remember that these are use case |
related recommendations which inform the scheduling algorithms in the controll er the |
actual values the controller chooses may differ slightly the parameters used in this hci |
command are shown in table full details of the command are in the core in vol part |
e section |
as we saw in chapter an application cannot force specific values for the link layer |
reiterating what is happening here the initiator and acceptors have exchanged information |
which allow ed the initiator to d etermine what to put into its hci command to instruct the |
core to schedule cises that best meet the application requirements bluetooth |
implementations use the hci commands for testing to check that they are compliant but they |
