Good afternoon,
I'm working on a project where the objective is to estimate the beacon <-> observer distance based only on RSSI. As a part of evaluation I've taken some RSSI measurements (stationary setup) for each channel individually. RSSI reported from channels 37 and 38 are fairly consistent - in my case -47 dBm on average, but channel 39 RSSI was on average -53 dBm. Now, is there a way for the application to determine on which channel the advertising packet was received? That would let me to normalize the RSSI in some way. bt_le_scan_cb_t structure passed to the callback function doesn't hold that information.
HW:
beacon: nRF52832
observer: nRF52840
SDK: nRF Connect v.2.5.3
Another question, which I think I know the answer to already - and it's a 'no'. Is it possible to configure the observer to listen on only one advertising channel, let's say 37?
Kind regards,
