I&amp;#39;m using PCA10028, SDK10.0.0, S130.
I&amp;#39;m testing connection time. 
 I made structure as your sample code as below.
static const ble_gap_conn_params_t m_connection_param =
{
(uint16_t)MIN_CONNECTION_INTERVAL, // Minimum connection

Please refer this link for good understanding on connection parameter,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/60/what-is-connection-parameters/"&gt;devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Supervisory timeout decides how long you can be in connection without sending any packets ..
Not the connection time. To maintain connection empty packets will be send by the softdevice. So you dont need to do any configuration for longer connection . If the other device didnt response for more than supervisory timeout connection will be terminated .............&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
