1. A2DP: advance audio distribution profile

    ACL channel:

    Bluetooth audio,  which indicates distribution of narrow band voice on SCO channels.

    Surround sound distribution is not included in the scope of A2DP profile.

    GAP: Generic Access Profile

    GAVDP: Generic Audio/Video Distribution Profile.

 

2. AVDTP consists of a signaling entity for negotiation of streaming parameters and a transport entity that handles straming itself.

 

3. Audio Streaming Set up

    --> Application serverice capability configuration

    --> transport service capability configuration.

4. Audio Streaming

    --> Send Audio Stream

    Encoding -> Encryption (optional) -> AVDTP -> L2CAP

    --> Receive Audio Stream

    Decoding <- Decryption (optional) <- AVDTP <- L2CAP

 

5. Audio Codec Interoperability Requirements

    --> The A2DP mandates low complexity subband codec (SBC) to ensure the interoperability.

    --> SBC is an audio coding system specially designed for bluetooth AV applications to obtain high quality audio at medium bit rates, and having a low computational complexity.

    --> Sampling Frequency (HZ): 16K, 32K, 44.1K, 48K

    --> Channel mode: Mono, Dual channel, stereo, Joint Stereo,

    --> block length: 4, 8, 12, 16

6. Generic Access Profile interoperability Requirements

    --> The Advanced Audio Distribution profile requires compliance to the Generic Access Profile.

 

7. The value of the bitpool field shall not exceed 16*nrof_subbands for the MONO and DUAL_CHANNEL channel modes and 32*nrof_subbands for the STEREO and JOINT_STEREO channel modes.

8. CRC-8:

    --> G(X) = x^8 +x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + 1
