Hi,
Novel Bits have a good description of Periodic Advertisements here (search for "Periodic Advertisements"). In short periodic advertisements allows you to synchronize the advertiser and the observer so that the observer knows then the next advertisement packet comes etc. This is somewhat similar to data exchange in a connection, but with some major differences. Firs of all, it is still advertising, so no retransmission etc, so data loss will occur. Secondly, several observers can receive the same periodic advertisement packets.
Thankyou.
Can you assist me in implementation example of BLE Extended advertisement in nrf52. https://blog.nordicsemi.com/getconnected/bluetooth-5-advertising-extensions is not helping much. Pls share some example where advertising extension is implemented in nrf52832/40
Hi,
There are some examples of extended advertising in the nRF5 SDK, but please remember that extended advertising is a set of extensions. All are not supported. Specifically periodic advertising is not supported by the SoftDevice, so you cannot do it with the nRF5 SDK. If you use the nRF Connect SDK you can refer to the Bluetooth: Periodic Advertising sample.
