identity of the broadcast source and the big so that it knows which device or more correctly |
device identity this information refers to the advertising set id the sid which is |
contained in the primary advertisements and is defined when the extended advertising is set |
up vol part e section generally stays static for the life of a device and isnt allowed |
to change between power cycles although it is only a single octet it can help to iden tify the |
device the broadcastid is in the auxadvind of the extended adv ertising and is |
static for the lifetime of a big which may be shorter than the sid along with the |
advertising addresses this is enough information for a broadcast sink to scan for the |
broadcast source |
the next group of parameters tells the broadcast sink what it should do this would normally |
be triggered by the user selecting a broadcast source on the user interface of their commander |
pasync tells it to synchronise to the periodic advertising train which lets it obtain the base |
chapter setting up and using broadcast audio streams |
and biginfo setting the pasync to either x or x tells the broadcast sink to go and |
do that the painterval is the interval between successive auxadvind packets and if |
known can help the scanner numsubgroups provides the number of subgroups in the |
base followed by the most important parameter which is the bissync |
bissync is the instruction from the commander to the acceptor to tell it which specific |
broadcast stream or streams to connect to its a four octet wide bitmap of all of the bises |
with values set to x for any stream which the acceptor should connect to theres a slight |
subtlety here which is why its arrayed rather than a single octet which is that it is effectively |
masked for each subg roup so each bissynci is only valid for that subgroup all other |
values are set to b the reason for that is that an acceptor is never expected to receive |
bises from different subgroups at the same time as the whole point of a subgroup is to |
arrange associated streams together if two subgroups carried different languages say |
japanese and german the expectation is that you would only choose one |
figure illustration of mapping from bis num ber to bisindex |
figure illustrates how bisindex values in subgroups relate to the ordering in a big where |
bises are arranged in numeric order in this case tho se dont align with the bisindex values |
hence the mapping of bisindex in writing a bissync value only one subgroup can be |
selected so if subgroup were selected from figure the only allowable values for |
bissync would be that one or both of bits and are set to b |
a broadcast assistant can set the value of bissync to xffffffff meaning no |
preference in which case the broadcast sink is free to make its own decision regarding which |
bises to use |
finally the metadata fields provide the level metadata for each subgroup typically the |
audio contexts and the audio locations allowing the acceptor to decide whether they are |
appropriate for what it wants to do ie do they match its current avai lable audio context |
type settings the data sent in the add source operation which is written into each broadcast |
section commanders |
receive state can be modified at any time by the modify source operation which will update |
the current information despite the specific c onnection information which is conveyed in |
these two operations it is entirely up to the acceptor whether it follows the request to |
synchronise with the pa and the bises which are written to it thats up to the |
implementation |
if the acceptor decides to act on the instruction from the commander it will use the |
instructions to synchronise to the periodic advertising train either by using past or scanning |
with the broadcast source information its been given retrieving the base and biginfo from |
the aca d and basic audio announcement in the pa these give it all of the information it |
needs to synchronise to the big after which it will use the bissync value to select which |
specific bis or bises it receives |
past the periodic advertising sync transfer procedure core vol part b section |
is the most efficient method as the broadcast assistant provides the scan delegator with the |
syncinfo data allowing it to synchroni se directly to the pa this process is known as scan |
offloading |
disconnection can be performed autonomously by the acceptor or a commander can use |
the modify source operation to set the appropriate bissync bit to b it may also tell the |
acceptor to stop synchronising to the pa but retain the rest of the source information |
alternatively it can delete the source record by performing the remove source operation on |
that sourceid |
set source and broadcast ids |
its worth a quick precis of the different ids involved in these operations as they can be |
confusing |
figure set and broadcast ids |
chapter setting up and using broadcast audio streams |
refer ring to figure the set and broadcast ids are properties of the broadcast source |
both are randomly generated numbers the advertising setid is included in the primary |
advertise ments and identifies a specific set of extended and periodic advertising trains the |
sid is normally static for the lifetime of the device but must remain unchanged within every |
power cycle sid can be useful when an acceptor or commander wants to recon nect regularly |
to a known source whether thats a personal device or a fixed infrastructure broadcast |
transmitter |
the broadcastid is specific to a big and is carried in the broadcast audio announcement |
service uuid it remain s static for the lifetime of the big |
the sourceid is an acceptor generated number which is used to identify a specific set of |
broadcast device and big information it is local to an acceptor and used as a reference for |
a broadcast assistant in the case of a coordinated set of acceptors such as a left and right |
earbud the sourceids are not related and may be different even if both are receiving the |
same bis as each acceptor independently creates their own source id values |

assistant of its current status regarding broadcast audio streams its structure is s hown in |
