Hi, I am working on Proximity Monitor Role using BlueZ 4.96 + and have a query on the need for Timeout in case of Immediate Alert in file proximity/monitor.c. I feel that this timer is not required, because this will lead to following scenario in case of Proximity Profile: If Path loss has occurred and Immediate Alert has been written, then after Timeout (5 seconds), Proximity Monitor will set immediate alert level to “none”, which will indicate to Proximity Reporter that Path Loss is now within threshold, which actually might not be the case. As per Sec 4.6 of Proximity Profile Spec, “If the path loss falls below a threshold set on the Proximity Monitor it shall write in the Alert Level characteristic of the Immediate Alert service, using the GATT Write Without Response sub-procedure, to cause the Proximity Reporter to end the alert. When the path loss is below the threshold the Proximity Monitor should stop alerting.” So this means that the proximity monitor should not change the alert level to “None” until the path loss is above Threshold. Please let me know if my understanding is correct. -- Best Regards Hemant Gupta ST-Ericsson India -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
