central stops receiving after sometime

Hi,

Central: nrf52840

peripheral: nrf52840

Connection interval (both min & max) = 10ms

ATT_MTU size: 52 bytes

Dle: 52+4 bytes

Connection event extension: enabled

Slave latency: 0

Connection supervision timeout: 4s

PHY: 1MBps

softdevice: 140

I'm transmitting 10 samples wrapped to 48 bytes as notification and hence set the ATT_MTU size to 52 bytes considering the overhead for notification to 3 bytes + 1 extra safe side. The issue is suddenly after 30 mins there is a disconnection and I get to see only EMPTY DATA PDU through nrf sniffer. However, I didn't notice anything as Connection Disconnection timeout or so. It's just after the last notification, I get to see only EMPTY DATA PDU and no samples at the UART(which is logged at the central) This is for a medical application. So I need to maintain this throughput with very low/0 latency and no potential disconnection. Your valuable suggestions will help me fix the problem.

  • what i understood from the log is after the connection is established the peripheral is sending notifications and then there is an exchange of "Rcd Handle Value Notification" and "Empty Data PDU" between the Master(central) and slave(peripheral). But at some point, the slave is not sending any more notification and the master just keeps the connection alive by "EMPTY DATA PDU". Considering this as connection loss, does the slave is supposed to broadcast again?
