Two masters try to connect in the same time

What happens if two masters scan the same channel and try to connect with the peripheral at the same time. And second question - what if one of that masters will be on the whitelist? If peripheral rejects the connection request from master outside the whitelist, will it block the connection for the master from the whitelist?

  • When you have 2 radio packets sending at the same time on same channel, you will have radio interference, and most likely both of the masters can't connect to the peripheral.

  • If one has significantly higher signal than the other, then that one might win by "overpowering" the other - just as if two people were trying to talk to you at the same time

  • Well, in that case we consider the peripheral only receive one connect request packet from the one have stronger signal.
