 We need to develop piconet where each device able initiate receiving and transmitting data.
According to a Bluetooth Core V4.0 specification this topology named like &amp;quot;scatternet operation&amp;quot;. 
 So, 2 masters (cerntal roles) should establish connection</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 31 Oct 2014 08:53:29 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/4205/softdevice-s120---data-exchange-in-piconet" /><item><title>RE: SoftDevice S120 - data exchange in piconet</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/15020?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 31 Oct 2014 08:53:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:41171488-2ad2-4b39-8124-4bc8f81064b1</guid><dc:creator>Alex</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you Petter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: SoftDevice S120 - data exchange in piconet</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/15019?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 30 Oct 2014 12:16:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:a9c95a19-22c6-4267-85af-0c7caff8c010</guid><dc:creator>Petter Myhre</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Sorry I was unclear, edited my answer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: SoftDevice S120 - data exchange in piconet</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/15018?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 27 Oct 2014 13:44:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:8d841f71-f0be-4325-926d-29909a5b537c</guid><dc:creator>Alex</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Petter,
Thanks for a reply and could you please explain a little bit more about difference between S120 and S130 ?
You mention interesting point that S120 can be a slave.
In S120 Key Features mentioned that Device  support&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Central and Observer roles - up to 8 simultaneous connections
According to this I understand that S120 not able to be a slave.
Could you please clarify this ?
If S120 may work in slave mode and dynamically switch to Master it will be great.
But I don’t see any proof of that from specifications.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: SoftDevice S120 - data exchange in piconet</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/15017?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 27 Oct 2014 12:30:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:32ee44fa-9762-4ef4-916d-310681fe6e9f</guid><dc:creator>Petter Myhre</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;According to Figure 1.1 in Volume 2, Part B?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I believe the blue circle with black dot in Figure 1.1c is a combined master and/or slave. It is a master to the slaves, and slave to the master.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The S120 can be a master(central) &lt;strong&gt;or&lt;/strong&gt; a slave(peripheral).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The S130 can be a master(central) &lt;strong&gt;and&lt;/strong&gt; a slave(peripheral)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Edit: The S120 version 1.x.x can only be a central, while the S120 version 2.x.x can be a central or a peripheral. Currently this is an alpha release (2.0.0-1.alpha), please see the download tab in the product page.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The difference is between S120 and S130 is that the S130 can be a central and a peripheral at the same time, while the S120 cannot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
