How to request updating connection parameter from peripheral role?

[Jeffery]

Hi

Q1.

At SDK, peripheral can request connection parameter update to central, such as PHY, connection interval and MTU size.

At SDK Connect (v1.8.0) throughput sample, all the update was begun from central.

Could we request these updates from peripheral side at SDK Connect?

Q2.

At sdk connect, what is different between connection interval and TX/RX payload interval?

Thanks.

Hi Priyanka

At nrf connect sdk v1.8.0\nrf\samples\bluetooth\peripheral_uart

1. After added below setting at prj.conf, it can modify connection interval after connecting to a central device, such as phone.

2. However, it failed to update MTU to 247 bytes. It was always 20 bytes.Below is my prj.conf. 

6327.prj.conf

Thanks

Hi Jeffery,

This could be because the CONFIG_BT_L2CAP_TX_MTU has various direct dependencies too, and you could try configuring those too.

Also, I would also like to mention that the peripheral can have a preference for various changes and it is entirely up to the central to choose whether or not to implement those changes or settings that the peripheral suggests. The central can accept or reject the suggestions given by the peripheral.

Regards,

Priyanka

Hi Priyanka

1. Could you check my prj.conf file at previous message? If peripheral wants to request MTU 247 bytes to central

    correctly, did I miss any configuration setting in this file? Thanks.

2. I knew the finally decision depends on central side even if peripheral request connection interval, PHY and

    MTU changes to central. But, at SDK17.0.2, I had tested requesting connection interval, PHY and MTU

    changes from peripheral side.

    It all worked at my HTC phone. MTU was updated to 247 bytes.

    Unfortunately, Using the same phone, as SDK Connect 1.8.0, MTU failed to be updated to 247 bytes.

Hi,

Could you try with the prj.conf that I am attaching and let me know how it goes?

Hi Priyanka

After changing the prj.conf, the project cannot be opened.

Could you select "OK" and share the error message that appears in the output window?
