SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING CONNECTION LATENCY

摘要

Systems and methods for reducing connection latency are described herein. More particularly, this specification relates to shortening connection latency between devices operating according to a Bluetooth protocol. Connection latency can be reduced by using the receipt of a wireless packet as a trigger for selectively accelerating a transmission rate of advertising packets. By selectively accelerating the transmission rate advertising packets, a connection interval between two devices can be shortened.

1. A method, comprising:
operating a device according to a first advertising mode that transmits advertising packets according to a first frequency; receiving a scan request packet in response to the transmission of one of the advertising packets; and operating the device according to a second advertising mode in response to the received scan request packet, wherein in the second advertising mode the advertising packets are transmitted according to a second frequency that is greater than the first frequency.
