An example apparatus includes: a memory; instructions in the apparatus; and a Bluetooth controller to execute the instructions to: enable circuitry to receive a synchronized transmission; determine if a synchronized transmission is received during a first duration; increment the first duration to a second duration as a result of not receiving the synchronized transmission during the first duration; and determine a third duration based on a determined difference in time between enabling circuitry to receive a synchronized transmission and receiving the synchronized transmission.

Methods to improve connectionless reception window widening

A circuit includes a processor to store a beacon timestamp generated from a wireless network. An output port controlled by the processor causes an interrupt that initiates a capture of a link layer timestamp relative to the beacon timestamp. An input port on the processor receives the link layer time stamp. A synchronizer captures a processor timestamp relative to the beacon timestamp and determines a time offset value relative to the received link layer time stamp by computing a difference between the processor timestamp and the link layer timestamp. The time offset value is combined with the processor timestamp to synchronize the processor with respect to the beacon timestamp.
