Dear Nordic team and community,
Have you encountered the problem where standard BT4.0/4.1 GAP Peripheral device would be "blocked" from connection (kind of "denial of service" situation) by too many actively scanning GAP Scanners/Centrals? We are seeing this with certain mobile phones (especially Android) in "observing" role and this is pretty independent on adv. interval we use (typically 20-200ms). All adv. events are "loaded" with SCAN_REQ packets when there are 5 or more "scanning" phones and beside SCAN_REQ collisions (which are typically not critical for BLE solutions) basically all CONNECT_REQ collide with some SCAN_REQ packet and thus Peripheral never follows the connection.
Any suggestions (beside trying to lower scanning activity on phones' side which obviously isn't always possible)?
Thanks Jan
