Abstract

A technique is presented that enables transmitting data packets decodable in accordance with a first wireless communication protocol using a transmitter configured in accordance with a second wireless communication protocol. In an example implementation of this disclosure, Bluetooth decodable packets can be sent with existing and widely-deployed WiFi devices without modifying NIC firmware or hardware. The transmitted packets are decodable by unmodified Bluetooth devices, thus eliminating the cost of dedicated Bluetooth hardware and deployment.
