Abstract
Aspects of a method and system for Bluetooth conditional synchronization are provided. In this regard, a synchronization code of a piconet may be included in each transmitted Bluetooth packets and a portion of the received synchronization code may be used for a synchronization process. The received synchronization code may be selectively sampled at a Bluetooth device. The Bluetooth device may determine a puncturing pattern to detect selected samples in the received synchronization code. The punctured received synchronization code may correlate to a reference code derived from a Bluetooth device address of the master device. The correlation value may be compared to a predetermined threshold value to indicate a success or a failure of the synchronization process. The threshold value as well as the puncture pattern may be user specific or centrally controlled, and they may be programmed or updated dynamically based on various conditions.
