Abstract
Disclosed are methods and systems for a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) receiver to reduce the number of retransmission of packets needed to receive an error free packet so as to improve channel throughput. Techniques to reduce the number of retransmissions include a combination of processing of the header of the received packets to increase the number of corrupted packets available for reconstructing the original payload and bit error correction (BEC) of the payload of the corrupted packets. Header processing may include making available for payload reconstruction a packet whose received access address differs by no more than 1-bit from an assigned address of the receiver provided at least one of the corrupted packets used in the reconstruction contains an error-free access address. Header processing may also include using a prior error-free decoded length of the packet to aid in the determination of the length field of a current packet.
