Both question 1 & 2 depend on so many factors like environment, walls, reflections, interference, PCB design, etc. that it is impossible to give you any values on this. Here is a pretty extensive guide on current consumption.

Thanks for the information. Can you please provide me answer for the below question.

1.What is the probability of data receiving when the broadcaster and observer placed at a distance of 3 m range. Pls share the facts and figures about distance Vs performance

2.If we want to achieve the maximum throughput in the 3 m range and also minimum power consumption , what are the recommended setting for observer and broadcaster role (scanning and advertisement interval) Regards, Anand

Hi,

I am asking S130 as a observer role.

Hi,

This depends on your application. How often do you receive an advertising packet? Does the advertiser include a scan response? An advertising packet contains 28 bytes of usable data (31 with flags). A scan response contains 31 bytes of usable data. An advertiser can broadcast advertising packets 50 times a second. So in an ideal world where all packets make it to the observer we get a theoretical throughput of:

Without scan response:

50 packets/s * 28 bytes/packet * 8 bits/byte = 11.2 kbps.

With scan response on all packets:

50 packets/s * (28 + 31) bytes/packet * 8 bits/byte = 23.6 kbps.

(In a central mode the S130 supports one packet per connection event. In peripheral mode it is 2-3 packets per connection event)
