Abstract :
An `Internet protocol´ (IP) network established over Bluetooth affords higher practical throughput compared to the `synchronous connection oriented´ (SCO) physical link allowing the usage of high quality audio codecs such as the `Motion Picture Expert Group-1 Layer 3´ (MP3) and ´Ogg Vorbis´ audio codecs. The Bluetooth IP network by default sets the ´logical link control and adaptation protocol´ (L2CAP) layer to infinite retransmissions effecting a trade-off between audio quality and audio playback continuity. This paper studies the attributes of the Bluetooth IP network for streaming stored high quality audio
