Can I get separately the RSSI levels of the three advertisement channels via nrf52832 based Gateway?

Hi all,

I have a Gateway with nrf52832 BLE chip-set.

My question is: Does this chip-set provide the ability to get the RSSI levels of the three advertisement channels at same time?

if yes, how to get these values?

Hi,

You will be informed about the channel (ble_gap_evt_adv_report_t::ch_index) and RSSI (ble_gap_evt_adv_report_t::rssi) for the received packet in each advertising report. There is no way to get RSSI for all three channels though, unless you continue to scan until you have received an advertising report for each channel.

It seems that if I continue to scan until I get the three advertisement reports then I will get the three reports separately. 

But can I configure the chip-set to automatically  to do this?

You could

1. Limit the channel mask to scan to a specific channel.
2. Acquire the RSSI values for each peripheral.
3. Repeat for each advertising channel of interest.
