Peripheral connecting with 2 central

True, but until we have a BLE stack that supports 2 concurrent peripheral links I don't think there is much you can do about that.

Yes I have planned in the same way Torbjorn, but if A acts as a central to mobile then mobile has to be Peripheral and android peripheral feature is supported only after 5.0 version of android.

As long as one of the phones support peripheral your scenario should work fine. A can connect to B as a peripheral and to a mobile phone as a central. B connects to A as a central and to the phone as a peripheral. This is supported with the S130 today.

Hello Shibshab, the mobile phones will be different i.e., A will be connected to M1 and B will be connected to M2. So now A should connect to M1 and device B. Does latest S130 v2.0 supports 2 centrals for a single peripheral?

The only way of doing this currently is to have the mobile phone act as a peripheral (supported in newer Android devices), which allows device A to use its concurrent central role to connect to it.

However, this requires the mobile phone to act as both peripheral and central concurrently (as it is already connected to B as a central), which I don't know if supported.

An optimal solution would be to have A act as two peripherals concurrently, which is not supported.
