MULTIPLEXING APPLICATION CHANNELS ON ISOCHRONOUS STREAMS

A first device is provided. The first device includes an audio source, a sensor, and a processor. The audio source generates audio data, and the sensor captures sensor data. The processor generates a data packet including an audio data set generated by the audio source and a sensor data set captured by the sensor. In some examples, the data packet may also include audio payload length data and/or sensor payload length data, audio channel identification data and/or sensor channel identification data, and/or audio time offset data and/or sensor time offset data. The audio data set may have a first lifetime and the sensor data set has a second lifetime longer than the first lifetime. The processor the transmits the data packet to a second device configured to reconstruct the audio data set and the sensor data set by demultiplexing the data packet.
