How can my device keep BLE broadcasting while in an active BLE connection?

[Terry]

Hi,

In our project, our BLE peripheral device using NRF52832 would like to keep broadcasting its advertisement packet to the BLE central devices even while it is in an active BLE connection.

So that, the BLE central devices can scan the peripheral device's RSSI.

I searched for the topic "Non-connectable advertising while connected" and found that there seems to be no such solution.

Is there any sample code or information?

Thanks!

Hello Terry,

Do you already have an application that you would like to add this to, or is this a new application you are starting to develop?
Are you working with the nRF5 SDK or the nRF Connect SDK?
In either way, the main procedure would just be to reconfigure the advertising as non-connectable and restart the advertising after your first connection if you would like to continue advertising as non-connectable after the first connection is established.

Best regards,
Karl
