Hi Etan,

I was wondering if it's ok if I ask a quick question regarding your hardware. I'm sending data from ios (peripheral) to a TI cc2540 (central) using subscriptions and getting 5-6kbps. However, my ios to ios tests gave about 20ish kbps.

The tests from your graph http://www.scriptreactor.com/conn_interval-throughput.pdf are not using the TI cc2540 are they? If not, can you share what bluetooth hardware you are using?

William,

I have used a dedicated peripheral where the connection interval can be chosen more fine-grained.

With an iDevice taking the peripheral role, such speeds cannot yet be achieved with public APIs as of iOS 6.1.4.

For reference, what I'm seeing is that no mater how fast I send packets (from the central), the peripheral only receives a packet every 60ms. With a 20b packet that's about .33kb/s.

This is with CBPeripheralManagerConnectionLatencyLow.

Etan,

Which direction were you sending in? I'm not seeing anything near that rate when going from central->peripheral (using writewithoutresponse, scanning off, advertising off)...

Frederic, there is only one packet of up to ~20 bytes transmitted every two connection events if you use reliable data transfer. If you want to increase that to ~ four packets every connection event, you have to use unreliable data transfer (WriteWithoutResponse / Notification) and have to add reliability in your app layer. Note that WiFi interferes with BLE, disabling it should net you a small boost in throughput. These are the throughputs I could achieve with iPhone as central and dedicated peripheral: http://www.scriptreactor.com/conn_interval-throughput.pdf Etan

I have made some tests to exchange data between 2 iDevices (iOS6 iPad3/iPhone5) using CBPeripheralManagerConnectionLatencyLow settings.

The maximum rate I have is 1135 bytes / s (1.1KB/s)

- Is it possible to get better speed ?

- What is the maximum I can have with iOS stack ?

From some documents:

BLE: 200kbits/s -> 25KB/s

NFC: 424kbits/s

Why is the difference so huge (20x slower) ?

Fred
