Advertising with ADV_EXT_IND packet on primary channel

Hi, 

I would like to use LE coded layer feature while sending beacon packet on primary channel.

According to table, I should use ADV_EXT_IND packet type to send beacon on primary channels.

Here is list of my questions;

  1. Can I transmit whole packet on primary channel by using LE coded layer? 
    1. As much as I know about extended advertising, only header will be sent on primary channel and the payload will sent on one of the secondary channel. 
  2. Is it possible to add CTE in the ADV_EXT_IND  packet ? There is something about this topic in BLE core specs. To be more precise, BLE Spec v5.1 Vol 6 Part D 4.12 Connectionless Constant Tone Extension Reception page 2892.

Thanks for your help

  • You will not be able to listen to two PHY layers at the same time but should be able to alternate between them when using SoftDevice S140 v6.1.0 or newer.

    NOTE: Bluetooth long-range is not supported by the nRF52832 which I see you have tagged in this ticket. The same goes for AoA/AoD. For Coded PHY (Long Range) you'll have to use the nRF52840 or nRF52811 chips, and the only chip supporting direction finding (AoA/AoD) is the nRF52811.
