Streaming audio has become a popular form of mediaon the Internet. As wireless personal area networkarchitectures (e.g. Bluetooth) are now targeted to supportmultimedia traffic, streaming audio over thesetechnologies will give rise to interesting applications. But,the variable nature of the wireless medium will not lenditself easily to supporting audio streaming. In this paperwe focus on Bluetooth and propose, an enhancement tothe Bluetooth link layer ARQ mechanism to compensatefor channel degradation and to better support audiostreaming. Specifically, our scheme adaptively sets theARQ timeout value based on current channelmeasurements. We show through testbed experiments thatthe adaptive ARQ improves the streaming qualitysignificantly compared to the "vanilla" link layer ofBluetooth, especially in noisy environments. Ourproposed approach is simple to implement and canactually be extended to the link layer of any wirelesstechnology.
