Send and receive at the same time?

Hi Nordic Devzone,

I'm working with nrf52-PDK and Mesh SDK, I wanted to know that if it is possible to send and receive some data at the same time?

And if I can do that then is it possible to get some collision in the network?

Thank you!

  • Hi Randy

    Packet collisions are perfectly normal, and won't have any adverse effect on the Nordic device. 

    What ends up happening is that one or both of the packets are lost, and won't be received by any receiving devices, since the two packets are sent on top of each other. 

    If one of the packets has a significantly stronger signal than the other, and is sent earlier, it has a good chance of getting through despite the collision. 

    Best regards
    Torbjørn
