Active scanning backoff algorithm

[panypan]

Hello,

At present, there is a problem. When there are a few broadcasting devices nearby but many active scanning devices that the active scanning is not easy to find devices. This problem is usually solved by adding backoff mechanism algorithm in active scanning or broadcasting equipment. So I have the following questions:

1. Does nordic have this backoff mechanism algorithm in active scanning or broadcasting equipment ?

2. If so, how to be compatible when interactionwith different brands? For example, nrf52832 is active scanning and siliconlabs is broadcasting (standard broadcast) .

Thanks

Best regards,

What wireless protocol are you asking about? There is for instance no backoff mechanism in BLE (in BLE they are using a random delay for advertisement), but it could be for other protocols.

Hi kenneth,

BLE protocol.

Then I think I have answered your question.

It can be said that active scanning devices do not have this backoff mechanism in BLE.
