Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for establishing a reconnection between devices by using Bluetooth low energy (LE). In particular, a method performed by a first device comprises the steps of: performing a reconnection parameter negotiation procedure with a second device; transmitting, via a channel determined on the basis of a result of the negotiation procedure, to the second device, a trigger sequence including at least one trigger codeword for requesting the reconnection; and receiving a beacon from the second device in response to the trigger sequence, wherein when the beacon is received, the reconnection between the first device and the second device may be established.
