Hi,

Background:

rtls_responder_CC26X2R1_LAUNCHXL_tirtos7_ticlang

rtls_coordinator_CC26X2R1_LAUNCHXL_tirtos7_ticlang

SDK 6.20.00.29

Modified projects to embed MAC address inside adv data (inside GAP_DEVICE_INIT_DONE_EVENT), as such:

// AiRISTA added
advertData[19] = pPkt->devAddr[0];
advertData[20] = pPkt->devAddr[1];
advertData[21] = pPkt->devAddr[2];
advertData[22] = pPkt->devAddr[3];
advertData[23] = pPkt->devAddr[4];
advertData[24] = pPkt->devAddr[5];

The problem - inside RC_EVT_ADV_REPORT event handler, when we check to make sure the MAC address reported from the stack matches the corresponding bytes inside the ADV data, we do get occasional discrepancies where BLE stack reported MAC is NOT the same as the MAC inside the adv data. We checking the last 3 of the mac because the first three bytes are never changing for our devices, and we can see the line below printing occasionally...

case RC_EVT_ADV_REPORT:
{
    GapScan_Evt_AdvRpt_t* pAdvRpt = (GapScan_Evt_AdvRpt_t*) (pMsg->pData);
    uint8_t status;

    if (pAdvRpt->addr[2] != pAdvRpt->pData[21] || pAdvRpt->addr[1] != pAdvRpt->pData[20] || pAdvRpt->addr[0] != pAdvRpt->pData[19])
        AiRISTA_DEBUG_SendDataToBackend_String("*** MISMATCH1 ***");

LOGS:

You can see the occasional "MISMATCH1" prints when MACs do not match.

At this point we have two tags advertising with primary adv interval of 100msec and periodic adv interval of 100 msec also, At this point the coordinator has synced to both tags and it is also receiving IQ samples. Our concern is if Adv Data is getting mixed up with the actual source BLE mac, is it possible this to cause the IQ samples to be mixed up between the two tags? if this is happening then obviously the angles will be wrong when calculated

Last 3 of the MACs are:

29c2 80 and 12 12 12

Lines where things are normal look like this (notice "29c280,29c280" - mac from BLE vs mac from adv data - SAME)

"2023-01-04 00:23:24:314",$AdvRpt,2981883,2736768,29c280,29c280,80,-46,26,0,0,1,87

Lines that are mismatched (Notice "29c280,121212" - BLE MAC is 29c280 and MAC from adv data is: 121212)

2023-01-04 00:23:24:515",*** MISMATCH1 ***$AdvRpt,2981883,2736768,29c280,121212,80,-68,213,0,0,1,87

here is the code that prints these lines to help you make sense of what are we looking at:

char id_rx[12];
char id_tx[12];
char ble_tx[7];
char ble_tx_adv[7];
char interval[7];
char rssi[5];

itoa(AIRISTA_LOC_ID, id_rx,10);
itoa(((pAdvRpt->addr[2]<<16) + (pAdvRpt->addr[1]<<8) + pAdvRpt->addr[0]), id_tx, 10);
itoa(((pAdvRpt->addr[2]<<16) + (pAdvRpt->addr[1]<<8) + pAdvRpt->addr[0]), ble_tx, 16);//THIS IS MAC FROM BLE STACK
itoa(((pAdvRpt->pData[21]<<16) + (pAdvRpt->pData[20]<<8) + pAdvRpt->pData[19]), ble_tx_adv, 16); //THIS IS MAC FROM Adv Data
itoa(pAdvRpt->periodicAdvInt,interval,10);
itoa(pAdvRpt->rssi,rssi,10);

//2022/09/26 - change the @ to $ sign before AdvRpt
//strcpy(buffer, "@AdvRpt,");

strcpy(buffer, "$AdvRpt,");
strcat(buffer,id_rx);
strcat(buffer, ",");
strcat(buffer, id_tx);
strcat(buffer, ",");
strcat(buffer, ble_tx);
strcat(buffer, ",");
strcat(buffer, ble_tx_adv);
strcat(buffer, ",");
strcat(buffer, interval);
strcat(buffer, ",");
strcat(buffer, rssi);
strcat(buffer, ",");

In the meantime, tried removing the syncing from the coordinator and also removed the periodic adv on the responder side and still can see the behavior:

If I make responder to advertise legacy type:

/// Default parameters for legacy, scannable, connectable advertising
#define GAPADV_PARAMS_LEGACY_SCANN_CONN {                                 \
 .eventProps = GAP_ADV_PROP_CONNECTABLE | GAP_ADV_PROP_SCANNABLE |        \
               GAP_ADV_PROP_LEGACY,                                       \

}

and also modify the coordinator to scan for legacy only:

temp16 = SCAN_FLT_PDU_LEGACY_ONLY | SCAN_FLT_PDU_COMPLETE_ONLY;
GapScan_setParam(SCAN_PARAM_FLT_PDU_TYPE, &temp16);

I have not gotten any MISMATCH prints for over 10 mins now:

It is clear, the mix up of physical BLE MAC vs actual adv data is only happening when adv type is extended adv.

Please advise if you can replicate this case and possible fix for it.

Hey Ivan,

Thanks for posting on e2e. I hope you don't mind, I reformatted your post to make it more readable. In the future, I would recommend making use of the code insertion tool as well as saving your log statements in a log.txt file and uploading them (both of which can be done using the Insert menu).

I've assigned your post to my colleague who can help with your AoA question. He is currently on business travel so there may be a slight delay in his reply, I hope that is ok and truly appreciate your patience.

Ammar, Thanks for response!

This is rather urgent for us.
If any additional info is needed in order to replicate this case, please post a response and I will promptly follow up.
I will be remote for next 2 weeks, I will have my colleagues monitor this thread and follow up when needed.

I will look forward to TI responses - thanks for your support in advance!

Hi Ivan,

To confirm, has the address mode been changed to something other than public address? How do you change the advertising data? Are you using the GapAdv_prepareLoadByBuffer() function? The Scanning and Advertising SLA lab provides some valuable information on how to modify the advertising data during runtime which may be helpful here.

Best Regards,

Jan

Hi Jan,

We set the MAC address bytes into adv data byte array inside device init event, before enabling advertising. below is the initial function "RTLSResponder_advertInit" which is called inside "GAP_DEVICE_INIT_DONE_EVENT" handler in RTLSResponder_processGapMessage. we added the lines that basically copy the 6 bytes of the MAC given to the app from the "GAP_DEVICE_INIT_DONE_EVENT" params and set those inside the adv data - we then expect when the scanner detects these beacons, BLE MAC address from the "GapScan_Evt_AdvRpt_t" param inside RC_EVT_ADV_REPORT on the coordinator side to match with the 6 bytes inside the adv data that was just detected. And here is where we see the discrepancies....

I hope below is enough to answer your questions. please let me know if you need anything else.

thanks,

Ivan

PS:

We give device a MAC address from "TI flash programmer" MAC address tab, and that MAC address is used from the BLE as the source MAC. We use this concept to give MAC address to our tags and has worked 100% for us.

Jan,

I think you may have asked for this setting and I misunderstood earlier:

we did not change that setting, it is ADDRMODE_PUBLIC

// Address mode of the local device
// Note: When using the DEFAULT_ADDRESS_MODE as ADDRMODE_RANDOM or
// ADDRMODE_RP_WITH_RANDOM_ID, GAP_DeviceInit() should be called with
// it's last parameter set to a static random address
#define DEFAULT_ADDRESS_MODE                  ADDRMODE_PUBLIC

When we have only one tag around the results/prints are fine, when we power up a second tag then we start getting the occasional discrepancies....

TI__Genius 17962 points

Hi Ivan,

Got it. No worries! Thank you for clarifying. Do you have access to a sniffer? If so, then could you take a sniffer log of the over the air traffic when both devices are advertising? This will help us ensure that the packets being sent are what we expect. At this point, I think that something might be going on on the central side, so this will help us narrow down where the behavior is coming from. If you do not have a sniffer, then you may be able to use the SmartRF Packet Sniffer 2 software with an additional launchpad to sniff the advertisement packets.

Best Regards,

Jan

Hi Jan,

We attempted to capture BLE extended advertisements using the SmartRF Packet Sniffer 2 tool, but we received no packets from our two tags that use extended advertising.

However, we receive legacy advertisements from other devices in our MAC address range.

Is there something wrong with our configuration, or is this tool only capable of receiving legacy BLE advertisements?

Thank you,

Shayan

Hi Jan,

we are trying the sniffing, but seems these tools are only capturing legacy advertisements. Can you please guys try to replicate the issue using steps from the initial thread starting response:

1. set last 3 of mac inside the adv data bytes

2. modify coordinator to compare the mac address bytes from the stack vs the bytes in adv data and assert the mismatch - I am sure you will see the discrepancy

it should be rather simple to replicate, you will need 3 LPs - 1 coordinator and 2 responders.

Please let us know if are able to see it. We are waiting for your response

Thanks,

Ivan

TI__Genius 17962 points

Hi,

You are correct. The packet sniffer 2 software is only able to sniff legacy advertisements. To sniff extended packets, a dedicated sniffer will be required here. Can you share the application code for us to use and try to reproduce this behavior?

Best Regards,

Jan

Hi Jan,

how do you suggest we share the code? Can you send me an email address so we can email you rather than publicly sharing it here?

Thanks,

TI__Genius 17962 points

Hi Ivan,

Do you have a project or a version of the application code that contains the minimum modifications required to exhibit the behavior? No need to share your custom application. Specifically, if you have a project with only the following modifications that exhibit the observed behavior, then that would be ideal.

Hi Jan,

if you send me an email I would be happy to email you the two projects that your team can just run and hopefully able to reproduce.

My email is: ivan.slavov@airista.com

i tried to outline the changes, which are simple too.

In words, embed the mac address bytes inside the adv data on the responder side, and then on coordinator side, compare the MAC bytes from the adv data with the MAC that the being reported by the stack,

Responder project changes:

1. we modified adv data, not very relevant but here is how we have it:

// Advertisement data
uint8_t advertData[] =
{
  0x0E,							// Length of this data
  GAP_ADTYPE_LOCAL_NAME_SHORT,  // Type of this data
  'R',
  'T',
  'L',
  'S',
  'R',
  'e',
  's',
  'p',
  'o',
  'n',
  'd',
  'e',
  'r',
  0x02,   // length of this data
  GAP_ADTYPE_FLAGS,
  DEFAULT_DISCOVERABLE_MODE | GAP_ADTYPE_FLAGS_BREDR_NOT_SUPPORTED,
  0x0B,//AiRISTA Added //11 more bytes to follow
  GAP_ADTYPE_MANUFACTURER_SPECIFIC,//0xFF
  0xFF,//i20 MAC1
  0xFF,//i21 MAC2
  0xFF,//i22 MAC3
  0xFF,//i23 MAC4
  0xFF,//i24 MAC5
  0xFF,//i25 MAC6
  0x00,//(2022/09/23, Ivan), index[26] - SQN8
  0x00,//(2022/09/23, Ivan), index[27] - reason code
  0x00,//(2022/09/23, Ivan), index[28] - additional info(bit0=Charging, bit1=Safety Switch)
  0x00,//(2022/09/23, Ivan), index[29] - battery %
    //size of advData is now 30
};

2. update adv data to embed the device mac, and enable adv.

static void RTLSResponder_advertInit(gapDeviceInitDoneEvent_t *pPkt)
{
  bStatus_t status = FAILURE;

  // Setup and start Advertising
  // For more information, see the GAP section in the User's Guide:

Hi Ivan,

I am having issues building the coordinator and responder project with your given modifications. On the responder project, I am only missing the definition of RR_NCNS_ADV_PRIM_INT_625US. On the coordinator project, I am missing many of your custom functions.

Taking a step back, it seems the behavior can be simplified to the following.

1. Responder - Is advertising its own BLE address in its advertising data

2. Coordinator - Is scanning for responder advertisements and occasionally sees that the scanned advertising packets contain a mismatch between the address advertised and the address of the device that sent the advertisement.

Is this correct? If so, then could you take an unmodified rtls_coordinator and rtls_responder and implement the minimum amount of modifications needed to recreate the behavior you are seeing? This will help us isolate the potential cause of this behavior.

Best Regards,

Jan

Jan,

Yes, your summary is exactly correct - this is exactly what i was trying to describe - it should be simple to compile and run. You can ignore any custom functions, and just try what you described - the moment you start a second responder, we begin to see the discrepancies on the coordinator side.

here are the defines you were missing:

//this is primary adv interval
#define AiRISTA_RR_NCNS_ADV_PRIM_INT_625US  160    // 100ms

//below are the intervals of the PERIDIC_ADV
//!< Minimum periodic advertising interval; Range: 0x0006 to 0xFFFF Time = N * 1.25 ms Time Range: 7.5ms to 81.91875s
//old values were 80 (100msec)
#define AiRISTA_PERIDIC_ADV_INTERVAL_MIN    80  // 100 ms
#define AiRISTA_PERIDIC_ADV_INTERVAL_MAX    80  // 100 ms

Please let us know if you are able to run it.

Hi Ivan,

I was having some issues adding the functionality to the rtls example, so I took a step back and was able to quickly add it to the simple_central and simple_peripheral examples. On those examples, I did not see the issue described, but I want to share the projects and changes I did with you in case I may have missed something.

1. Simple Peripheral was set to use Public Address (SysConfig)

2. Simple Peripherals Advertisement Data was changed to contain a unique UUID for identification and space for its address (Sysconfig)

3. Simple Peripheral's advertising data was loaded as shown below before the advHandle was created: (GAP_DEVICE_INIT_DONE_EVENT inside SimplePeripheral_processGapMessage()

4. Advdata2 and the long range advertising handle was removed from the project. (SysConfig and entire simple_peripheral.c)

5. Simple Central enabled discovery by UUID (SysConfig)

6. Logic was added to Simple Central to check if the unique UUID is present and to determine if the address in the advert data and the address of the device are the same (in SC_EVT_ADV_REPORT event of SimpleCentral_processAppMsg()) [Some of this logic can be seen below]

I have uploaded the projects here:

simple_peripheral_CC26X2R1_LAUNCHXL_tirtos7_ticlang.zip

simple_central_CC26X2R1_LAUNCHXL_tirtos7_ticlang.zip

Once the projects have been flashed on two devices, when the central devices scans it will look for the simple_peripheral device and check its advertising data and address:

Could you take a look at the project and see if you can see the same behavior on your end? As a quick test can you try setting the device address in the advert data array before you call the Gap_advCreate() function?

Best Regards,

Jan

Jan,

I think you are probably using legacy advertising (I am pretty sure the simple_peripheral_CC26X2R1 projects use legacy), but the problem does not happen when tags advertise legacy, it only happens when they use extended advertising.

I am trying to run your projects and confirm, but cant import them... I downloaded then and trying to import projects into a workspace. I am using CCS 12.1.0.00007 and I am getting the error below.

What CCS version are you using?

I will keep trying and respond shortly with more details.

thanks,

Ivan

Jan,

I still cant compile your projects, but in the meantime can you change the adv to not be legacy and try running your samples?

for example use these settings

I think, you are using something like this which is the legacy and we never observe the mixup when using legacy adv

GapAdv_params_t advParams1 = {
  .eventProps =   GAP_ADV_PROP_CONNECTABLE | GAP_ADV_PROP_LEGACY | GAP_ADV_PROP_SCANNABLE,
  .primIntMin =   160,
  .primIntMax =   160,
  .primChanMap =  GAP_ADV_CHAN_ALL,
  .peerAddrType = PEER_ADDRTYPE_PUBLIC_OR_PUBLIC_ID,
  .peerAddr =     { 0xaa, 0xaa, 0xaa, 0xaa, 0xaa, 0xaa },
  .filterPolicy = GAP_ADV_WL_POLICY_ANY_REQ,
  .txPower =      GAP_ADV_TX_POWER_NO_PREFERENCE,
  .primPhy =      GAP_ADV_PRIM_PHY_1_MBPS,
  .secPhy =       GAP_ADV_SEC_PHY_1_MBPS,
  .sid =          0
};

If you are using the SysConfig to edit, then change the legacy to extended, and please try running again with two peripherals and one central

thanks,

Ivan

Hi Ivan,

My apologies. I used the legacy advertisement type on my test. Have you unzipped the projects i sent you before importing them? This may be the cause of the error. Can you try this and see if the project works on your end? If it does, then can you try changing it to extended to see if you observe the same behavior? If you have any issues with getting the project to properly import, then please let me know and I will run this test on my end and repackage the project.

Best Regards,

Jan

Jan,

I cannot import your projects, getting this error:

please let me know do you think i can fix it OR just try switching the adv to extended

thanks,

Ivan

TI__Genius 17962 points

Hi Ivan,

Can you try expanding the window and pasting the full error here? This may help us understand why CCS is not able to import the project. I may not have time to run the test until tomorrow.

Best Regards,

Jan

Jan, I tried using unchanged simple peripheral and central from 6.20 sdk, make the changes you described and made the advertising extended, not legacy - the result is - NO MISMTACHES.

I had two tags running and I could see both MACs and not a single mismtach.

I will work tomorrow on comparing the simple periph and central projects with rtls responder and coordinator - something on the RTLS side of things has to be causing the mismtaches - will update this thread with more details tomorrow.

Thanks,

Ivan

Hi Ivan,

Sounds good! I am glad you were able to reproduce the behavior I am seeing on simple_peripheral and confirmed the behavior holds for extended advertising. I look forward to seeing your update.

Best Regards,

Jan

Jan,

here is my update from the morning - I am running the SAME 2 simple peripheral clients to advertise, then I ran the RTLS coordinator and modify the scan results to print any mismatches, and I am seeing the MISMATCHES

here is where/how I am printing them:

case RC_EVT_ADV_REPORT:
    {
      GapScan_Evt_AdvRpt_t* pAdvRpt = (GapScan_Evt_AdvRpt_t*) (pMsg->pData);
      uint8_t status;
      
      if (pAdvRpt->pData[2] == 'S' && pAdvRpt->pData[3] == 'P')
      {
          AiRISTA_DEBUG_SendDataToBackend_String("+");

          if (
                  pAdvRpt->addr[0] == pAdvRpt->pData[15] &&
                  pAdvRpt->addr[1] == pAdvRpt->pData[16] &&
                  pAdvRpt->addr[2] == pAdvRpt->pData[17] &&
                  pAdvRpt->addr[3] == pAdvRpt->pData[18] &&
                  pAdvRpt->addr[4] == pAdvRpt->pData[19] &&
                  pAdvRpt->addr[5] == pAdvRpt->pData[20]
          )
          {
              ++matches;
              AiRISTA_DEBUG_SendDataToBackend_String("+");
          }
          else
          {
              ++mismatches;
              AiRISTA_DEBUG_SendDataToBackend_String("\r\n");
              AiRISTA_DEBUG_SendDataToBackend_String(Util_convertBdAddr2Str(&pAdvRpt->addr[0]));
              AiRISTA_DEBUG_SendDataToBackend_String(" MISMATCH ");
              AiRISTA_DEBUG_SendDataToBackend_String(Util_convertBdAddr2Str(&pAdvRpt->pData[15]));
              //AiRISTA_DEBUG_SendDataToBackend_String();
          }
      }

      // Free report payload data
      if (pAdvRpt->pData != NULL)
      {
        ICall_free(pAdvRpt->pData);
      }
    }

Next, I will try to do the same starting with OEM rtls coordinator, and i will clearly document my changes and then share the RTLS coordinator project inline in this thread for you to review.

TI__Genius 17962 points

Hi Ivan,

Thank you for the update! That is interesting, it seems the scanning of the coordinator is introducing the mismatch for some reason. This could be a simple logic discrepancy in the application code. I completely agree, I think the next step is to try to reproduce this on an unmodified coordinator example (with only the mismatch logic from the simple central project added). Thank you for the detailed updates and thorough debugging!

Best Regards,

Jan

Jan,

Attached is the rtls_coordinator with ONLY a few changes, all commented out with a line starting like this: //AiRISTA

You should be able to import stock rtls_coordinator project, overwrite this file and then run it. If you search for the "//AiRISTA" you will see the changes and I am sure they will make sense.

Keep in mind, this is intended to be pairs with "simple_peripheral_CC26X2R1_LAUNCHXL_tirtos7_ticlang", and i will attach that here. The changes in this project are to add the MAC address inside the adv data bytes, then code to make the advertisement extended (not legacy). Notice, you had some indexes mismatched in your example, and I have fixed that in the below project:

simple_peripheral_CC26X2R1_LAUNCHXL_tirtos7_ticlang.zip

this is what i mean about the indexes, you counted the comment line as a byte index, I have adjusted this in the attached simple periph project - you need this project as this is the one I modified to adv extended vs legacy

1. start with stock rtls_coordinator, and overwrite the c file i am sending you. Run that one onLaunchPad. I did not add any printing to work, I just debugged that interactively and when tracing through, I could see mismatches variable being set (i added a spin lock breakpoint that is getting hit)

2. run the simple periph on 2 x Launch Pads, make sure you give them different MACs

3. debug the rtls_coordinator, and notice this breakpoint is being hit after about 30-40 secs of the app running:

Please keep us posted when you are able to replicate and more importantly what do you think is causing this.

We believe discrepancies like this affect AoA accuracy down the line (but this is after the syncs happen and IQ samples are being detected). Right now, there is no syncing taking place, no AoA IQ samples because this is stock rtls coordinator, and we are not running any host to drive things.

Looking forward to your response

Thanks,

Ivan

Hi Ivan,

I was able to reproduce the behavior using your example and provided code. I was also able to verify that it only happens when the two simple_peripheral launchpads are turned on. My first thought is to try to modify the scanning parameters and make them match the simple_central example we had. To confirm, you were not able to see the issue using simple_central and simple_peripheral (with extended advertisements)? If so, then as a test could you try changing the scanning parameters of the coordinator example to match the simple_central and retest?

Best Regards,

Jan

Jan,

I am glad you could see the mismatches. If possible, can we escalate this for TI to troubleshoot further?

To summarize, we have 2 (or more) extended advertising clients (based off simple_peripheral), and 1 scanner (based of rtls_coordinator), no syncing, no connections, just scanning, and it seems the actual results are mixed up where there are multiple advertisers.

yes, I did not see the issue with simple_central and simple_peripheral with extended advertisements. I will try with same scan params as i used simple_central (it was whatever the default are i believe), but I believe the scan param are not the cause of this.

The cause has to be inside RTLS coordinator project where AoA files are included and the multiple antennas even though with the version of RTLS coordinator I shared, we are not doing anything beyond simple scanning. This is where I cannot explain why it is happening, and I am seeking your help.

We were able to catch this when we were testing with actual AoA data, IQ samples, and eventually angles - it was rather accurate with 1-2 tags, up to maybe 3-4, but when we started more tags they all lingered around sporadically. This when we tried taking steps back and noticed these discrepancies during scanning (before any syncs, AoA IQ data to come into play), and we believe these carry through later in the process and mixup the IQ samples and then all angles are getting mixed up - this is just a theory.

Please let us know if you can involve more TI resources on this and try to explain it

Thanks,

Ivan S.

Hi Ivan,

Thank you for the detailed summary. I will file a ticket with the provided information and continue to debut his on my side. I do not think this is expected behavior and in our testing we have shown that it is localized to the coordinator project. I truly apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing. I will update you early next week (Monday or Tuesday) with any findings I have made.

Best Regards,

Hi Ivan,

I did some more testing today. I saw that changing the scanning parameters to the simple_central scanning parameters has no impact on the behavior. This further signals that the issue must be in the AOA logic. I will continue to work with the team on this to see if we are able to find the root cause and fix or provide a workaround. I will continue to update you frequently as we continue our investigation. I truly apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing.

Best Regards,

Hi Ivan,

I have further discussed the behavior with the team and we believe we have found a workaround that may be helpful. We have two possible workarounds for this. I have listed them below:

1. Provide each advertiser with its own SetID (SID) ensuring no advertiser has the same SID. I tested this for several minutes and did not encounter any mismatch

2. Change the channel map such that each advertiser is advertising on a different channel. I did not get a chance to test this in-depth, but we believe this should work as well.

Let me know if any of these workaround work on your end. The team and I have confirmed that this issue is located in the AOA/RTLS backend. I truly apologize for any inconvenience this behavior may be causing and i hope the provided workarounds are sufficient.

Best Regards,

Jan

Hi Jan,

Thanks for the suggestions.

We will try #1, will try to randomize the SID on the tag/responder firmware. I see SID is defined as one byte, so there are some limitations here as even with sid = random (255), there will be possibility for collisions, theoretically speaking.

/**
 * Per-advertising set parameters
 *
 * These can be set with @ref GapAdv_setParam
 * See the specific parameter linked to each element for more information.
 */
typedef struct
{
  uint16_t eventProps;                   //!< @ref GAP_ADV_PARAM_PROPS
  uint32_t primIntMin;                   //!< @ref GAP_ADV_PARAM_PRIMARY_INTERVAL_MIN
  uint32_t primIntMax;                   //!< @ref GAP_ADV_PARAM_PRIMARY_INTERVAL_MAX
  GapAdv_advChannels_t primChanMap;      //!< @ref GAP_ADV_PARAM_PRIMARY_CHANNEL_MAP
  GAP_Peer_Addr_Types_t peerAddrType;    //!< @ref GAP_ADV_PARAM_PEER_ADDRESS_TYPE
  uint8_t peerAddr[B_ADDR_LEN];          //!< @ref GAP_ADV_PARAM_PEER_ADDRESS
  GapAdv_filterPolicy_t filterPolicy;    //!< @ref GAP_ADV_PARAM_FILTER_POLICY
  int8_t txPower;                        //!< NOT CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED
  GapAdv_primaryPHY_t primPhy;           //!< @ref GAP_ADV_PARAM_PRIMARY_PHY
  GapAdv_secondaryPHY_t secPhy;          //!< @ref GAP_ADV_PARAM_SECONDARY_PHY
  uint8_t sid;                           //!< @ref GAP_ADV_PARAM_SID
} GapAdv_params_t;

Do you have any idea of when a permanent fix will be released?

PS: My team is just bringing to my attention, the SID per BLE specs is only 4 bits. Can you elaborate on that? I mean, I can see it is defined as uint8 (above snippet from gap_advertiser.h), but the BLE core specs show it as a composite field along with Advertising Data ID (DID) which i don't see being exposed to the application

Below is a screen from the BLE core specs:

When we set the uint8 SID at the SDK level, do you know if TI stack will use the lower 4 bits off of it to feel the SID field of do you use all the 8 bits?

I am looking to clarify what is the random range we should use for SID to test this? 0 to 0b1111 (DEC15) OR 0 to 0b11111111 (DEC255)?

Thanks,

Ivan S.

Hi Jan,

Confirming, we are not getting the collisions with different SID.

I think we answered the question for the SID range - I tried the higher bits of the SID, and seems all 8 bits are used. I am trying two tags with SID=255 and and SID=254 and I am not getting the collisions

Same SID:

Different SIDs:

We will implement SID = RANDOM(255) logic to get us going for time being, but please let us know when this will be permanently fixed - I will watch this thread or please message me too when you have an update.

Thank YOU,

Ivan S.

Hi Ivan,

I am very glad to hear the workaround is working well! I would like to clarify that the Set ID field has a range between 0 and 15, so these are the values that should be used in that case. A ticket has been filed and will be address by R&D at some point for a future SDK release. Unfortunately, I do not know which SDK will contain the fix for this at this time. I truly apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. In the meantime, if you run into any issues with the workaround, then please let me know and I would be more than happy to help.

Best Regards,

Jan

Jan,

I got excited earlier when i tested SID=255 and SID=254, with the idea that we have 0-255 for SID to randomize. But those two values were not testing the 4 bit SID theory (those numbers had lower bits different so it worked).

Now, reading your comment about the 0-15 range, i tested with SID=15 (0b1111) and 31(0b11111), and I do get the duplicates.

This confirms the range for SID to fix this is ONLY 0-15, which means we can randomize only 16 numbers and with only 16 there is much higher percentage of a tag generating the same SID....

Without going into statistics, 0-255 seems more acceptable to hope tags will have same SID. Now, with only 16 possible SIDs to randomize, I think chance is pretty high of duplicates about 6% (100/16 = about 6%)

Please can you escalate this and maybe provide us with a library of version of SDK where this is fixed.

From testing prospective, we can hardcore different SID on 16 tags and test the load and angle accuracy, but I don't think with the now smaller range 0-15, we can consider any kind of final solution/firmware.

Please keep us updated If you can do anything to speed things up.

Thanks,

Ivan

Hi Jan,

I just wanted to follow up on some ETA of fixing this in a more permanent fashion - Please keep us posted.

Is it possible to get a temporary library that we can manually replace and compile which fixes this so we can do more higher scale testing rather soon. Right now we can only test with 16 tags only and this is very limiting.

Thanks,
Ivan S.

Hi Ivan,

Unfortunately, I do not yet have an exact timeline for when the issue will be fixed. I will ping the R&D team again to let them know this is an urgent issue. In the meantime, are you still able to continue development with 16 tags until we find a more permanent solution?

Best Regards,

Jan

Jan,

Please keep this thread updated, we are monitoring the responses.

We were satisfied with how 16 tags worked, next on our list is scalability testing, and we would like to scale up to 50,100 tags to observe how the system performance and data flow - from the tag sending IQ samples to actual UI updating tags position. Considering the amount of actual data (IQ samples) and the frequency, we have to make sure our system can handle higher number of tags - this is an important checkbox that we need your help to be able to complete.

please keep us posted when you hear back from R&D

Thanks,

Ivan S.

Jan,

I am sorry for keep asking, did you hear back anything OR does this seem to not be a quick fix?

We are actively working to implement AoA in our platforms, but we cant really plan on releasing because of this limitation.

What is a realistic time frame to expect a fix so I can pass it to my business development team to be able to adjust project timelines and plan product releases?

Thanks,

Hi Ivan,

No need to apologize! At this time, I cannot provide an exact timeline for when this behavior will be fully fixed. This likely will take one or two SDK releases to be addressed. I will continue looking into if there is anything that can be done to further mitigate this behavior. I truly apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing.

Hi Ivan,

I have another suggestion that may increase the amount of advertisers we can have without running into duplicates. We are working with R&D to get this addressed as soon as possible, but in the meantime this additional workaround should bring us from 16 max advertisers up to 64 devices. In short, we still use the SID workaround, but each set of 16 devices will advertise using a subset of channels that does not overlap. For example:

Devices 0 - 15: Will have SID from 0 to 15n and will use channels 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32
Devices 16 - 31: Will have SID from 0 to 15n and will use channels 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29, 33
Devices 32 - 47: Will have SID from 0 to 15n and will use channels 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30, 34
Devices 48 - 63: Will have SID from 0 to 15n and will use channels 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31, 35

The following SLA provides some valuable information in how to modify the channel map: https://dev.ti.com/tirex/content/simplelink_academy_cc13xx_cc26xxsdk_6_40_00_00/modules/rtls_toolbox_ble5/ble_aoa/ble_aoa_target.html#change-the-channel-map-connectionless-aoa-

I understand that this is not ideal and that the overall number of tags if this workaround works as expected will be 64 (4 times increase from the 16 tags we were limited to before, but still 1/4 of the desired 256 devices you had mentioned), but this may help unblock development until we are able to get this addressed by R&D. My sincerest apologies for any delay or inconvenience this may be causing.

Best Regards,

Jan
