The behavior of the extension of "ATT_MTU" and "Data length extension (DLE)"

Hello,

We need to extend both "ATT_MTU" and "Data length extension (DLE)" of the example programs "app_uart" and app_uart_c" in S132 SDK 14.0.0. So could you please advise on the following two parts?


1) The behavior of the extension of "ATT_MTU" without the extension of the DLE.

[My situation]

I refered the follwoing Web page.

infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp

And I refered the following descriptions.


  • ATT_MTU size: The default Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is 23 bytes. When increasing this value, longer payloads can be achieved by sending several packets for one transaction.
  • Data length extension (DLE): The default data length for a radio packet is 27 bytes. Data length extension allows to use bigger radio packets, so that more data can be sent in one packet.

[Question]

From above description, I understand the following. Could you plesae confirm my understanding is correct?

[MY understanding]

  • If we extend "ATT_MTU", we can extend the length of characteristics.
  • Under the the extended "ATT_MTU"(ex. 128 bytes) and the default data length(27 bytes), we can notify the extended characteristic value by one call of API "sd_ble_gatts_hvx".
  • However, in low link layer, the transmition will be devided as several packets in one connection interval.

2) The behavior of both extension of "ATT_MTU" and DLE.

I understand the following. Could you plesae confirm my understanding is correct?

  • Under the extended "ATT_MTU"(ex. 128 bytes) and the extended data length(ex. 128 bytes), we can notify the extended characteristic value by one call of API "sd_ble_gatts_hvx".

  • And additionally, in low link layer, the transmition will also transmit as one packets in one connection interval.
