I am currently trying to improve my positioning algorithm with nRF52832. Using a Nordic BLE sniffer, I found that having RSSI data per advertising channel would help. In short, it allows a better fit of the RSSI distribution which allows me to combine the 3 channels RSSI values in a more reliable way.
Sadly, if the information is available using the sniffer, it seems like it is not available using the stock SDK:
- https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/26849/channel-number-of-received-advertisements/105552
- https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/19489/is-there-any-api-on-s120-to-know-the-channel-number/75711
Questions :
- Is there any reliable way to get the channel number of an advertising event ? How ?
- Is there any plan to integrate the channel number in the advertising report event in a future release ?
- Optionally, do you know if there is any plan to provide a localization toolbox, maybe with a different hardware (like ti) ?
