Dynamically setting transmit power of ISO channels

[aspearDS]

Hello,

Is there a method of setting the transmit power of ISO channels using BT_HCI_OP_VS_WRITE_TX_POWER_LEVEL?

I used the connection handle of the struct bt_conn object from struct bt_bap_stream but the SoftDevice returns BT_HCI_ERR_UNKNOWN_CONN_ID.

Do you have an example of setting the transmit power dynamically of a ISO channel?

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi, 

Here is the PR:https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/pull/17413 to fix the issue, also in the main version now. 

If you update the TX power of the ACL (on the main branch), the CIS will also be updated.

Just to clarify, I am using BIS (broadcast) ISO, not CIS (connected).

Looking at the PR, it is not clear what is the fix.  Can you provide a code example of how I would set the transmit power of the BIS stream?

I also see another ticket that was entered a day after this one that is very similar:  https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/114812/how-to-set-tx-power-for-bis-iso-streams-alone.  That ticket is using 2.7 instead of 2.6, but I expect the resolutions of the tickets to be similar. 

Thanks,

Hi, 

The new PR to support BIS is merged into the main version and will be released in v2.8.0. 

It contains an addition to sdc_hci_cmd_vs_zephyr_write_tx_power which allows setting broadcaster TX power using the BIG handle, so this allows to change the TX power after the BIS was created.

When a BIS broadcaster is set up, it initially uses the same TX power as the associated periodic advertiser.
