How are multiple BLE connections implemented in Bluez? Is it a function of host memory like IOS with a high limit (1000's)? I see an old post saying that Bluez only supports one connection at a time. This has a large impact on host power consumption. With a connection you know the windows where you have to listen for a peripheral connection. If instead you use advertising to trigger the connection the host has to always be scanning since you never know when the peripheral is going to advertise. An example system might have twenty BLE sensors that send alerts when they are tripped. Wouldn't it be better to have 20 long lasting connections to these sensors? Now the host only has to wake up at the windows where it is legal for the peripheral to transmit. And the peripherals can take advantage of their ability to skip transmission windows. If instead the peripherals only use advertising the host has to always be scanning since they don't know when the peripheral might trip. Doing that consumes a lot of battery power. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@xxxxxxxxx -- 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
