BACKGROUND

An electronic device may be configured with a variety of different wireless communication capabilities. For example, a first electronic device may be capable of exchanging data with a second electronic device over a transmission medium. The exchange of data between the two electronic device over a transmission medium may be enabled by a communication protocol.

SUMMARY

According to an exemplary embodiment, a method may be performed by a source device. The method includes establishing a wireless communication link with a sink device. The protocol for communicating via the wireless communication link includes a frame having a first deterministic portion and a second opportunistic portion. The method further includes, transmitting, during the first deterministic portion of the frame, first data to the sink device. The method further includes, determining whether a predetermined condition associated with the wireless communication link is satisfied. When the predetermined condition is satisfied, transmitting, during the second opportunistic portion of the frame, second data to the sink device.

According to another exemplary embodiment, a source device includes a transceiver configured to establish a wireless communication link with a sink device. The protocol for communicating via the wireless communication link includes a frame having a first deterministic portion and a second opportunistic portion. The source device further includes, a processor configured to transmit, during the first deterministic portion of the frame, first data to the sink device. The processor further configured to determine whether a predetermined condition associated with the wireless communication link is satisfied. When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the processor is configured to transmit, during the second opportunistic portion of the frame, second data to the sink device.

According to a further exemplary embodiment, an integrated circuit includes circuitry configured to establish a wireless communication link with a sink device. The protocol for communicating via the wireless communication link defines a frame having a first deterministic portion and a second opportunistic portion. The integrated circuit further includes, circuitry configured to transmit, during the first deterministic portion of the frame, first data to the sink device. The integrated circuit further includes, circuitry configured to determine whether a predetermined condition associated with the wireless communication link is satisfied. The integrated circuit further includes, circuitry configured to transmit second data to the sink device during the opportunistic portion of the frame when the predetermined condition is satisfied.
