TECHNIQUES FOR SYNCHRONIZING TIMING OF WIRELESS STREAMING TRANSMISSIONS TO MULTIPLE SINK DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method for streaming content in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- identifying a composite timing delay associated with a common timing source;
adjusting a sink device timing based at least in part on the identified composite timing delay; and
using the adjusted sink device timing to synchronize presentation of a content streamed from a source device to a plurality of sink devices.

Abstract
Methods, systems, apparatuses, and devices are described for synchronizing timing of wireless streaming transmissions to multiple sink devices. A source device may identify timing information associated with a common timing source, e.g., a media timing source at Multimedia layer or a Wi-Fi timing source, and send the timing information to the sink devices. The sink devices may receive the timing information and determine a composite timing delay, e.g., a wireless transmission link delay, an internal interface link delay, or combinations thereof. The source device may stream the content to the sink devices which may use a locally adjusted timing signal to synchronize the presentation of the content.
