bluetoothLEPeriodicAdvConfig

Bluetooth LE periodic advertisements configuration parameters

Since R2024a

Description

Use the bluetoothLEPeriodicAdvConfig object to specify the configuration parameters to simulate Bluetooth^® low energy (LE) periodic advertisements (PA) between a Broadcaster and an Observer.

Creation

Syntax

cfgPeriodicAdv = bluetoothLEPeriodicAdvConfig

cfgPeriodicAdv = bluetoothLEPeriodicAdvConfig(Name=Value)

Description

cfgPeriodicAdv = bluetoothLEPeriodicAdvConfig creates a default Bluetooth LE PA configuration object, cfgPeriodicAdv, between a Broadcaster and an Observer.

cfgPeriodicAdv = bluetoothLEPeriodicAdvConfig(Name=Value) sets properties of the Bluetooth LE PA configuration object by using one or more optional name-value arguments. For example, bluetoothLEPeriodicAdvConfig(PeriodicAdvInterval=0.5) sets the PA interval to 0.5 seconds.

Properties

PeriodicAdvInterval — Periodic advertising interval

0.010 (default) | scalar in range [0.0075, 81.91875]

Periodic advertising interval, specified as a scalar in the range [0.0075, 81.91875]. Units are in seconds. This property specifies the interval between the start of two consecutive PA events. Set this value as an integer multiple of 1.25 milliseconds. The default value is 0.010 seconds. For more information about PA intervals, see Bluetooth Core Specification v5.3 [2], Vol 6, Part B, Section 4.4.2.2.3.

Data Types: double

PeriodicAdvOffset — Offset for starting periodic advertising train (PAT)

0 (default) | scalar in range [0, N]

Offset for starting the PAT, specified as a scalar in the range [0, N]. This equation defines N:

$$PeriodicAdvInterval-(MaxPeriodicPDUDuration+T\_IFS)$$

where:

• PeriodicAdvInterval — Value of the PeriodicAdvInterval property in seconds.

• MaxPeriodicPDUDuration — Time required for the Broadcaster node to transmit a packet containing the maximum advertising payload, in seconds.

• T_IFS — Interframe spacing time, in seconds.

This property specifies the synchronization packet window offset by considering the reference point as the simulation start time. Units are in seconds. For more information about the synchronization packet window offset, see Bluetooth Core Specification v5.3 [2], Vol 6, Part B, Section 2.3.4.6.

Data Types: double

PHYMode — PHY mode for generation or decoding

"LE1M" (default) | "LE125K" | "LE500K" | "LE2M"

PHY mode for generation or decoding, specified as "LE125K", "LE500K", "LE1M", or "LE2M".

Data Types: char | string

UsedChannels — List of used (good) data channels

row vector of all channel indices in range [0, 36] (default) | integer vector of integers in range [0, 36]

List of used (good) data channels, specified as a vector of integers. Each element in the vector must be a unique value in the range [0, 36]. This property specifies the indices of the assigned good data channels that the PAT uses. To ensure you set at least two channels as used (good) channels, specify a vector with a length greater than 1.

Data Types: double

Examples

Simulate Bluetooth LE Piconet with Periodic Advertisements

This example shows how to simulate a Bluetooth LE piconet with periodic advertisements by following these steps:

1. Create and configure a Bluetooth LE piconet with Broadcaster and Observer nodes.

2. Create and Configure a PAT between the Broadcaster and Observer nodes.

3. Configure and add application traffic at the Broadcaster node.

4. Simulate the Bluetooth LE piconet and retrieve the statistics of the Broadcaster and Observer nodes.

Check if the Communications Toolbox™ Wireless Network Simulation Library support package is installed. If the support package is not installed, MATLAB® returns an error with a link to download and install the support package.
