Abstract
Repeated data packets are generated from a first Bluetooth enabled device to a second Bluetooth enabled device to facilitate radio direction finding of the first device by the second device. A communication connection is established between the first and second devices in accordance with a Bluetooth protocol stack and in response to receiving at the second device a data packet transmitted by the first device the second device transmits an NACK data packet to the first device, whereby the first device is cause to retransmit said data packet, and causing the second device to process at least one of the transmitted data packet and the retransmitted data packet in accordance with a radio direction finding algorithm. The communication connection preferably comprises a remote name request.
