A device (e.g., a BLUETOOTH device) includes memory and one or more processors coupled to the memory. The one or more processors are configured to implement a BLUETOOTH host, a BLUETOOTH host-controller interface, and a BLUETOOTH controller. The one or more processors are further configured to cause the BLUETOOTH controller to receive, from the BLUETOOTH host via the BLUETOOTH host-controller interface, a message indicating first channel and timing information for sending data corresponding to a BLUETOOTH application. The one or more processors are further configured to cause the BLUETOOTH controller to initiate sending the data based on the first channel and timing information.

Channel aware application data transmission for BLE devices

A Bluetooth (BT) or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) controller includes: a physical (PHY) layer; a baseband radio frequency (RF) layer; and a link layer (LL). The LL is configured to: obtain an incoming transmission awareness request regarding a later incoming transmission event; and perform incoming transmission operations to prepare for the later incoming transmission event responsive to the incoming transmission awareness request.
