Data Rate increase using wireless Protocols in nrf51822.

[trk]

Hello, I just read this paper "High speed data streaming with nRF24L01 " where we can achieve 1.6 Mbps Data Rate in clean RF environment. I am currently using nrf51822 in my project. I want atleast 1 Mbps Data Rate. What are the options where we can achieve higher data rates.

Just a heads up i use SDKv8.0 with nrf51822 v 3.0 and i can achieve only 108Kbps.

@trk: Could you point me to the paper you refer to ? You can run the nRF51822 in 2Mbps mode to have higher data rate. Note that 2Mbps won't guarantee you to have 2Mbps data throughput. The 2Mbps is only the radio on air signal rate. There are headers, such as Preamable, address, CRC needed to be transmitted. The longer the packet size the higher the datarate.

I think it should be possible to achieve 1Mbps actual data rate. It must be one direction and without ACK or retransmission.

We have a simplified version of Enhanced Shockburst here that you may want to try to test. You have more flexibility with this library for configuration: https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/nrf51-micro-esb
