Transmit power control functionality in wireless audio systems may be implemented by way of a Transmit Power Control (TPC) algorithm devised to control power for both source and sinks in a multi sink session, to reduce power consumption. Information may be passed back and forth between the source and sink devices to adjust power based on the shared information. The TPC algorithm may allow power control on both ends of an RF link, and may have multiple sink devices communicating with a source device. Furthermore, the multiple sink devices and the source device may each be operating at different power levels, and adjust their respective power levels as instructed by the TPC algorithm. Power control is therefore implemented on both ends of the link, where multiple sources and sinks may all operate at different power levels, and all individually adjust their respective power levels.

An intermediate queuing/de-queuing mechanism between an asynchronous server and a synchronous process or client allows the asynchronous server to communicate with the synchronous client in a performance oriented and asynchronous manner. The coexistence of two different queuing mechanisms within the same logical execution environment is thus enabled. Further, the asynchronous merging of other format updates during the recovery process is facilitated, such as change accumulation and image copy records. Operations between the synchronous process and asynchronous processes are thus expedited, embedding a synchronous process within the total asynchronous environment of the overall data processing system to enable restoration of the database.
