Abstract
A technique to open a single receiving window to perform scanning and initiating operations in a Bluetooth Low Energy compliant device, instead of using two separate receiving windows to perform the equivalent operations. The combining of the scanning and initiating operations in one receiving window, instead of two separate windows, reduces power consumption and provides for bandwidth efficiency.
