Hi Andre,To avoid flooding the host with useless advertising reports during background scan, we enable the duplicates filter from controller. However, enabling duplicates filter requires a small change in background scan routine in order to fix the following scenario: 1) Background scan is running. 2) A device disconnects and starts advertising. 3) Before host gets the disconnect event, the advertising is reported to host. Since there is no pending LE connection at that time, nothing happens. 4) Host gets the disconnection event and adds a pending connection. 5) No advertising is reported (since controller is filtering) and the connection is never established. So, to address this scenario, we should always restart background scan to unsure we don't miss any advertising report (due to duplicates filter).don’t we need a timer that restarts the background scan in a regular interval?
We don't need that timer since the background scan is now restarted every time hci_update_background_scan() is called.
