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 network device serving two or more networks using periodic times slots for transmission events is configured to determine that one of the periodic time slots on one of the networks has or soon will collide with one of the periodic time slots on the other network by processing time stamps for events on each network. Either of the periodic time slots may be occasionally shifted by a time shift amount to avoid a collision between the periodic time slots on each network. Shifting the periodic time slots may be performed by transmitting a Bluetooth connection parameter update packet.
