BlueHeron.HCI.Command.LEController.CreateConnection (blue_heron v0.4.1) View Source

The HCI_LE_Create_Connection command is used to create an ACL connection to a connectable advertiser

Bluetooth Core Version 5.2 | Vol 4, Part E, section 7.8.12

  • OGF: 0x8
  • OCF: 0xD

The LE_Scan_Interval and LE_Scan_Window parameters are recommendations from the Host on how long (LE_Scan_Window) and how frequently (LE_Scan_Interval) the Controller should scan. The LE_Scan_Window parameter shall be set to a value smaller or equal to the value set for the LE_Scan_Interval parameter. If both are set to the same value, scanning should run continuously.

The Initiator_Filter_Policy is used to determine whether the White List is used. If the White List is not used, the Peer_Address_Type and the Peer_Address parameters specify the address type and address of the advertising device to connect to.

Peer_Address_Type parameter indicates the type of address used in the connectable advertisement sent by the peer. The Host shall not set Peer_Address_Type to either 0x02 or 0x03 if both the Host and the Controller support the HCI_LE_Set_Privacy_Mode command. If a Controller that supports the HCI_LE_Set_Privacy_Mode command receives the HCI_LE_Create_Connection command with Peer_Address_Type set to either 0x02 or 0x03, it may use either device privacy mode or network privacy mode for that peer device.

Peer_Address parameter indicates the Peer’s Public Device Address, Random (static) Device Address, Non-Resolvable Private Address or Resolvable Private Address depending on the Peer_Address_Type parameter.

Own_Address_Type parameter indicates the type of address being used in the connection request packets.

The Connection_Interval_Min and Connection_Interval_Max parameters define the minimum and maximum allowed connection interval. The Connection_Interval_Min parameter shall not be greater than the Connection_Interval_Max parameter.

The Connection_Latency parameter defines the maximum allowed connection latency (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.5.1).

The Supervision_Timeout parameter defines the link supervision timeout for the connection. The Supervision_Timeout in milliseconds shall be larger than (1 + Connection_Latency) Connection_Interval_Max 2, where Connection_Interval_Max is given in milliseconds. (See [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.5.2).

The Min_CE_Length and Max_CE_Length parameters are informative parameters providing the Controller with the expected minimum and maximum length of the connection events. The Min_CE_Length parameter shall be less than or equal to the Max_CE_Length parameter.

If the Host issues this command when another HCI_LE_Create_Connection command is pending in the Controller, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).

If the Own_Address_Type parameter is set to 0x01 and the random address for the device has not been initialized, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).

If the Own_Address_Type parameter is set to 0x03, the Initiator_Filter_Policy parameter is set to 0x00, the controller's resolving list did not contain a matching entry, and the random address for the device has not been initialized, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).

If the Own_Address_Type parameter is set to 0x03, the Initiator_Filter_Policy parameter is set to 0x01, and the random address for the device has not been initialized, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12)
