In particular, the present invention is, directed to a wireless protocol used to communicate data and voice information between a gaming device and wireless peripheral accessories, vo BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In gaming systems there is a strong demand for wireless controle in order to eliminate the cabling found strung ‘across so many livingroom floss. Existing wireless conteol- lers are expensive ana do not always provide a robust con- nection tothe gaming devieebecause of interference Latency ‘another citial concer to gamers. as itis desirable that the wireless controller respond like a wired controler. In adi- tion, there may be fetes in itore gaming consoles thatthe \wieles link must support Developing a wireless game con- ‘wollerthat meets these constraints Would he greatly benefited ‘bya protocol that enables multiple wireless devices to simul ‘taneously communicate with the gaming device, while ao > providing for err cretion and detection with minimal latency. The protocol should also be able to support new
