S310 BLE throughput

[Kadi Chang]

I try the throughput in S310, I refer the "nrf51-ble-app-lbs" to make our code(interval is 20ms), and test with Master Control Panel. it seen only have 1.7KBps. Could it be better?

Hi Kadi

The Master Control Panel with Master Emulator Firmware 0.9.0 can only receive one packet per connection interval. This will make a throughput of 8 kbps with 20ms connection interval.

If you try the throughput example with an iphone however you will be able to receive 32kbps. You can use the LightBlue app to receive the data and test the throughput. The iPhone can receive 6 packets per connection interval and the connection interval is 30ms. More on throughput calculations for different centrals is discussed on this thread.
