How many beacons can scan by the central in nrf52

singh

Hi,

I'm using the nrf52 board with sdk11. I want to know that i have 100 beacons and my nrf52 is a cenral.

1)How many beacons can scan by the central at a time? 2)Is there any limitations to scan the beacons more.If so how can i increase the scanning performance for more beacons.

Regards,

Prudhvi

    I do not think there is a limit of number of beacons that can be scanned. For example if the central is always scanning (scan window = scan interval) and if the beacons are advertising with slow interval (for example say every 3 seconds). Chances are that it will detect them all (even if they are in thousands). Ofcourse this is only true for scanning and not for connections. There will be a limitation if few beacons are advertising very fast, then there will be noise in the same bandwidth and will cause packet corruptions, which makes central not see them at all because of CRC error filtering in the hardware.
