Abstract
Various embodiments may provide systems and methods among wireless nodes in a wireless communication network that enable balancing the batteries in the wireless nodes to be depleted at approximately the same rate. Various embodiments intelligently and dynamically swap master/slave roles among wireless nodes (e.g., wireless earpieces) coupled to a wireless source device to optimize battery life in both wireless nodes. The various embodiments may provide methods and systems for swapping master-slave roles so that there is reduced impact on the user experience.
