Frank, if you slapped a few IP protocols beneath the voice application layer in a wireless mic, you'd have a phallic doorstop. Not a microphone.

Packetization necessarily adds delay. Mics require negligible delay -- a millisecond, maybe, but not what IP does. Even VoIP phone calls are seriously impaired by the packetization delay, and they don't have to play in time with the music, or in harmony with each other. It's just the wrong solution to the problem.

Wireless mics are different from web browsers and other delay-tolerant applications, the kind eye pee was made to support. They need real-time non-delayed connections. FM is perfect. PCM or even high-rate ADPCM audio works too, if not packetized. Can this be cognitive? I dunno... I have my doubts though. It can't take time off to listen around the spectrum.
