Frequency hopping with S132 v3

Hello! I'd like to know if S132 v3 implements the frequency hopping scheme defined by BLE.

I've read some documentation on Gazell, but from what I understood, that is a completely different protocol, not a superset of BLE. I require BLE communication, so If my understanding is correct, Gazell is not an option.

  • @AmiguelS : S132 is a qualified BLE stack, of course it use the hopping channel algorithm defined by BLE spec.

    We were part of the group who made BLE so actually there are many features in Gazell were brought into BLE, channel hopping was one of them. But channel hopping on Gazell is little simpler compare to BLE legacy channel hopping (the channel hopping was upgraded from BLE v5.0 )

    You can find the channel hopping algorithm in the document pointed by Endnode. Basically each channel is only used for one single connection event. Next connection event we use the next channel, and continue like that. There is no measurement of failure rate on a channel to black list it in our stack.
