Part E. Host Controller Interface Functional Specification
vAtlanta r00
This Part describes the functional specification for the Host Controller interface (HCI). The HCI provides a uniform command interface to a Controller.
1. Introduction
This Part of the specification describes the functional specifications for the Host Controller interface (HCI). The HCI provides a uniform command method for the Host to access Controller capabilities and to control connections to other Controllers. For the BR/EDR or LE Controller, these commands typically involve the Link Manager (LM) to exchange LMP commands or the Link Layer (LL) to exchange LL Control packets with remote Bluetooth devices. For details, see [Vol 2] Part C, Link Manager Protocol Specification and [Vol 6] Part B, Link Layer Specification.
The rest of this section provides a brief overview of the lower layers of the Bluetooth software stack and of the Bluetooth hardware. Section 2 provides an overview of the Lower HCI Device Driver Interface on the Host device. Section 3 lists the HCI commands and events and specifies the support requirements on different types of implementation. Section 4 describes the flow control used between the Host and the Controller. Section 5 describes the various data formats used by HCI. Section 6 further describes certain parameters that are common to several commands. Section 7 describes each of the HCI commands in detail, identifies parameters for each of the commands, and lists events associated with each command.
The specification is applicable to the following types of Controllers:
BR/EDR Controller
BR/EDR/LE Controller
LE Controller
A Controller shall support one of the following sets of functionality:
BR/EDR only
LE only
BR/EDR/LE
In the following sections, the term “BR/EDR Controller” is used to describe the BR/EDR functionality of a Controller which may be either a BR/EDR only Controller or a BR/EDR/LE Controller. Similarly, the term “LE Controller” is used to describe the LE functionality of a Controller which may be either an LE only Controller or a BR/EDR/LE Controller.
A BR/EDR Controller supports BR/EDR functionality only. A BR/EDR/LE Controller supports BR/EDR functionality and LE functionality. An LE Controller supports LE functionality only.
1.1. Lower Layers of the Bluetooth software stack
Figure 1.1 provides an overview of the lower software layers.
Several layers may exist between the HCI driver on the Host system and the HCI layer in the Controller(s). These intermediate layers, the Host Controller Transport Layer, provide the ability to transfer data without intimate knowledge of the data.
Figure 1.2 illustrates the path of a data transfer from one device to another. The HCI driver on the Host exchanges data and commands with the HCI firmware on the Bluetooth hardware. The Host Control Transport Layer (i.e. physical bus) driver provides both HCI layers with the ability to exchange information with each other.
The Host will receive asynchronous notifications of HCI events independent of which Host Controller Transport Layer is used. HCI events are used for notifying the Host when something occurs. When the Host discovers that an event has occurred it will then parse the received event packet to determine which event occurred.
A BR/EDR/LE Controller uses one shared command buffer and flow control for BR/EDR and LE. Data buffers can be either shared between BR/EDR and LE or there may be separate data buffers for BR/EDR and LE. The configuration of a Controller is determined through HCI.
LE Controllers use a reduced set of HCI commands and events. Some commands and events are re-used for multiple Controller types.
1.2. Cross-version issues
The Host and Controller communicating through HCI are not required to support the same version of this specification (see [Vol 1] Part D, Section 1).
If the Controller conforms to a newer version of the specification than the Host, events (including HCI_Command_Status and HCI_Command_Complete) may include values that are reserved for future use in the version supported by the Host. In the case of the Status parameter of the HCI_Command_Status and HCI_Command_Complete events, a value that is reserved for future use must be treated as if it were the error code Unspecified Error (0x1F) (see [Vol 1] Part F, Section 1.3). In all other circumstances the Host must obey the requirements for devices receiving reserved values (see [Vol 1] Part E, Section 2.4).
Note
Note: If the Host conforms to a newer version of the specification than the Controller and uses a command feature that is not part of the older specification version, then the Controller will report an error. Failure to handle such errors could result in unexpected behavior.
2. Overview of Host Controller transport layer
The Host driver stack has a transport layer between the Host Controller Interface driver and the Host.
The main goal of this transport layer is transparency. The Host Controller Interface driver (which interfaces to the Controller) should be independent of the underlying transport technology. In addition, the transport should not require any understanding of the data that the Host Controller Interface driver passes to the Controller. This allows the logical interface (HCI) or the Controller to be upgraded without affecting the transport layer.
The specified Host Controller Transport Layers are described in the other parts of Volume 4.

3. Overview of commands and events
The commands and events are sent between the Host and the Controller.
Table 3.1 lists each HCI command and event together with specification version information, a summary description, and the support requirements.
A command or event may have more than one version. All versions of a command or event implement the same basic functionality but with detail differences, such as additional parameters relating to newer features. The different versions are indicated by "[v1]", etc. where necessary; if no version number is given, a reference to the command or event applies to all versions.
The specification version information gives the version number of the specification which first specified this command or event or, where more than one specification version number is shown, each version of this command or event.
Table 3.1 lists the requirements for a Controller to support each command or event or version thereof. Subject to Section 3.2, a Controller shall support the command or event if it is shown as mandatory for at least one of the transports (i.e., BR/EDR or LE) that the Controller supports, otherwise the Controller may support the command or event if it is shown as optional for at least one of the transports that the Controller supports, otherwise it shall not support the command or event. If the command or event has more than one version, then this determination is made for each version separately using the requirements listed in the table for that version. The LMP features mentioned in the conditions are defined in [Vol 2] Part C, Section 3.2 and the Link Layer features in [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.6.

3.1. LE Controller requirements
3.1.1. Legacy and extended advertising
Table 3.2 lists the legacy and extended advertising commands and events.
If a Controller supports any legacy advertising command or event listed in the table and also supports the LE Feature (Extended Advertising), it shall support the corresponding extended advertising command or event in the same row of the table.
If, since the last power-on or reset, the Host has ever issued a legacy advertising command and then issues an extended advertising command, or has ever issued an extended advertising command and then issues a legacy advertising command, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
A Host should not issue legacy commands to a Controller that supports the LE Feature (Extended Advertising).

3.2. Underlying Support
Except as stated in this section, if a command or event is supported by a Controller then the feature underlying the command or event shall also be fully supported. If the feature applies to more than one transport, it shall be supported on all supported transports.
If the Controller supports ACL connections on BR/EDR but does not support Connection State on LE then, for each command or event that it supports that has a handle parameter, it shall only support the underlying functionality on BR/EDR (such Controllers will not support the commands or events that create LE connections and therefore all valid handles will represent BR/EDR connections).
For each of the commands and events in Table 3.3, the requirements in Table 3.1 shall be evaluated separately for each supported transport. If the requirement for a given supported transport evaluates to Mandatory, or evaluates to Optional and the Controller supports the command or event on that transport, then the underlying feature shall be fully supported on that transport. Otherwise the Controller shall not support the underlying feature on that transport and:
For a command, if the Host issues the command with the Handle or Connection_Handle parameter referring to a connection on that transport, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
For an event, the Controller shall not generate that event with the Connection_Handle parameter referring to a connection on that transport.
HCI_Authenticated_Payload_Timeout_Expired event |
HCI_Encryption_Change event |
HCI_Encryption_Key_Refresh_Complete event |
HCI_Read_Authenticated_Payload_Timeout command |
HCI_Read_Remote_Version_Information command |
HCI_Read_Remote_Version_Information_Complete event |
HCI_Read_RSSI command |
HCI_Read_Transmit_Power_Level command |
HCI_Write_Authenticated_Payload_Timeout command |
3.3. Feature Exchange
If a command has a Connection_Handle parameter, returns an HCI_Command_Status event followed by a completion event (see Section 4.4), and the specification of that command does not refer to feature exchange, then the command may perform feature exchange on the specified connection before any other procedure in order to determine whether the peer device supports a necessary feature.
4. HCI flow control
Flow control for data shall be used in the direction from the Host to the Controller to avoid overflowing the Controller data buffers with data destined for a remote device (using a Connection_Handle) that is not responding. The Host manages the data buffers of the Controller. Packet based flow control is the default for BR/EDR traffic and the only option for LE traffic. Flow control for data moving from the Controller to the Host may be in accordance with Section 4.2.
Command flow control is covered in Section 4.4 and Section 4.5.
4.1. Host to Controller data flow control
Two methods of data flow control are defined: 'packet-based' flow control and 'data-block-based' flow control, known as buffer management. Selection of the data flow control mechanism is performed with the HCI_Write_Flow_Control_Mode command (see Section 7.3.73).
If a BR/EDR/LE Controller implements separate buffers for ACL Data:
The Host shall use the HCI_LE_Read_Buffer_Size command to determine the buffers that are used for ACL Data on an LE-U logical link.
The Host shall use separate packet based flow control for each set of buffers.
The Connection_Handle contained in the ACL Data packet shall be used by the Controller to determine which set of buffers to use and the logical link (ACL-U, APB-U, or LE-U) over which the data is to be sent.
If a BR/EDR/LE Controller does not implement separate buffers, then all ACL Data shall use the BR/EDR buffer management as described below, and only the logical link (ACL-U, APB-U, or LE-U) shall be determined by the Connection_Handle.
A packet is said to have completed when the Controller no longer needs the buffer space to store the data from the packet and has freed the corresponding buffer for re-use. This nominally happens when the data is transmitted or flushed, but can be delayed for implementation reasons or can happen early if the implementation transfers the data to other storage.
For each individual Connection_Handle, the data shall be sent to the Controller in HCI Data packets in the order in which it was provided by the Host and shall arrive at the Controller in that order.
4.1.1. Packet-based data flow control
When the packet based flow control mechanism is enabled, on initialization, a Host that supports LE shall issue the HCI_LE_Read_Buffer_Size command (see Section 7.8.2). Two of the return parameters of this command determine the maximum size of HCI ACL (excluding header) Data packets that can be used to transmit ACL data for an LE transport sent from the Host to the Controller. There is an additional return parameter that specifies the total number of HCI ACL Data packets that the Controller may have waiting for transmission in those buffers. A Controller that supports BR/EDR and LE may return zero for the total number of HCI ACL packets used to transmit ACL data for an LE transport. In this case the Host shall then send all BR/EDR and LE data using the HCI ACL Data packets into the buffers identified using the HCI_Read_Buffer_Size command. A Controller that does not support BR/EDR shall not return zero for the total number of HCI ACL packets used to transmit ACL data for an LE transport.
When the packet-based flow control mechanism is enabled, on initialization, a Host that supports isochronous data over HCI in either the Connected Isochronous Stream Central role, Connected Isochronous Stream Peripheral role, or Isochronous Broadcaster role shall issue the HCI_LE_Read_Buffer_Size command.
An HCI ISO Data packet is used to transfer isochronous data between the Host and Controller for transmission of isochronous data on an isochronous transport. The ISO_Data_Packet_Length parameter of this command specifies the maximum buffer size for each HCI ISO Data packet (excluding the header but including optional fields such as ISO_SDU_Length). The return parameter Total_Num_ISO_Data_Packets of this command specifies the maximum number of HCI ISO Data packets that the Controller can have waiting for transmission in its buffers.
Note
Note: The ISO_Data_Packet_Length and Total_Num_ISO_Data_Packets return parameters are only available when using v2 or above of the HCI_LE_Read_Buffer_Size command (see Section 7.8.2).
In a BR/EDR Controller, when the packet based flow control mechanism is enabled, on initialization, the Host shall issue the HCI_Read_Buffer_Size command. Two of the return parameters of this command determine the maximum size of HCI ACL and Synchronous Data packets (excluding header) sent from the Host to the Controller. There are also two additional return parameters that specify the total number of HCI ACL and Synchronous Data packets that the Controller may have waiting for transmission in its buffers. A Controller that supports BR/EDR shall not return zero for the total number of HCI ACL Data packets or their maximum size. A Controller that supports SCO or eSCO over HCI shall not return zero for the total number of HCI Synchronous Data packets or their maximum size.
When there is at least one connection to another device, or when in local loopback mode on a BR/EDR Controller, the Controller shall use the HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Packets event to control the flow of data from the Host. This event contains a list of Connection_Handles and a corresponding number of HCI Data packets and/or HCI ISO Data packets that have been completed since the previous time the event was returned (or since the connection was established, if the event has not been returned before for a particular Connection_Handle).
The Host chooses the Connection_Handles for the following HCI Data packets and/or HCI ISO Data packets based on the information returned in this event, and/or the HCI_LE_Read_Buffer_Size commands.
Every time it has sent an HCI Data packet, the Host shall assume that the free buffer space for the corresponding link type (ACL, SCO, or eSCO) in the Controller has decreased by one HCI Data packet.
Every time the Host sends an HCI ISO Data packet, the Host shall assume that the free buffer space for the corresponding logical link type (LE-S or LE-F) in the Controller has decreased by one HCI ISO Data packet.
Each HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Packets event received by the Host provides information about how many HCI Data packets and/or HCI ISO Data packets have been completed for each Connection_Handle since the previous HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Packets event was sent to the Host. It can then calculate the actual current buffer usage.
When the Controller has completed one or more HCI Data packet(s) and/or HCI ISO Data packet(s) it shall send an HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Packets event to the Host, until it finally reports that all the pending HCI Data packets have been completed. The frequency at which this event is sent is manufacturer specific.
Note
Note: The HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Packets events will not report on synchronous Connection_Handles if Synchronous Flow Control is disabled. (See Read Synchronous Flow Control Enable command, and Write Synchronous Flow Control Enable command.)
4.1.2. Data-block-based data flow control
When the data-block-based flow control mechanism is enabled, on initialization the Host shall issue the Read Data Block Size command. Two of the return parameters of this command determine the maximum size of HCI ACL Data packets (excluding header) sent from the Host to the Controller. A further return parameter specifies the total number of HCI ACL Data packets that the Controller may have waiting for transmission in its buffers.
The Controller shall use the HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Data_Blocks event to control the flow of data from the Host. This event contains a list of Handles and a corresponding number of HCI Data packets that have been completed since the previous time the event was returned (or since the link was established, if the event has not been returned before for a particular Handle).
Based on the information returned in this event, and the return parameters of the HCI_Read_Data_Block_Size command that specify the total number of HCI ACL Data packets that can be stored in the Controller, the Host decides for which Handles the following HCI Data packets should be sent.
Every time it has sent an HCI Data packet, the Host shall assume that the free buffer space for the corresponding ACL link type in the Controller has decreased by one HCI Data packet.
Each HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Data_Blocks event received by the Host provides information about how many HCI Data packets have been completed for each Handle since the previous HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Data_Blocks event was sent to the Host. It can then calculate the actual current buffer usage.
When the Controller has completed one or more HCI Data packet(s) it shall send an HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Data_Blocks event to the Host until it finally reports that all the pending HCI Data packets have been completed. The frequency at which this event is sent is manufacturer specific.
4.2. Controller to Host data flow control
In some implementations, flow control may also be necessary in the direction from the Controller to the Host. The HCI_Set_Controller_To_Host_Flow_Control command can be used to turn flow control on or off in that direction.
On initialization, the Host uses the HCI_Host_Buffer_Size command to notify the Controller about the maximum size of HCI ACL and Synchronous Data packets sent from the Controller to the Host. The command also contains two additional command parameters to notify the Controller about the total number of ACL and Synchronous Data packets that can be stored in the data buffers of the Host.
The Host uses the HCI_Host_Number_Of_Completed_Packets command in exactly the same way as the Controller uses the HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Packets event as was previously described in this section, but a packet is completed when the Host is ready to free the corresponding buffer.
The HCI_Host_Number_Of_Completed_Packets command is a special command for which no command flow control is used, and which can be sent anytime there is a connection or when in local loopback mode. The command also has no event after the command has completed. This makes it possible for the flow control to work in exactly the same way in both directions, and the flow of normal commands will not be disturbed.
For each individual Connection_Handle, the data shall be sent to the Host in HCI Data packets in the order in which it was provided by the Controller and shall arrive at the Host in that order.
4.3. Disconnection behavior
When the Host receives an HCI_Disconnection_Complete event, the Host shall assume that all unacknowledged HCI Data packets that have been sent to the Controller for the returned Handle have been flushed, and that the corresponding data buffers have been freed. A Controller does not have to notify the Host about this in an HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Packets or an HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Data_Blocks event before the disconnection event.
If flow control is also enabled in the direction from the Controller to the Host, the Controller may, after it has sent an HCI_Disconnection_Complete event, assume that the Host will flush its data buffers for the sent Handle when it receives the HCI_Disconnection_Complete event. The Host does not have to notify the Controller about this in an HCI_Host_Number_Of_Completed_Packets command.
4.4. Command flow control
On initial power-on, and after a reset, the Host shall send a maximum of one outstanding HCI Command packet until an HCI_Command_Complete or HCI_Command_Status event has been received.
The HCI_Command_Complete and HCI_Command_Status events contain a parameter called Num_HCI_Command_Packets, which indicates the number of HCI Command packets the Host is currently allowed to send to the Controller. The Controller may buffer one or more HCI Command packets, but the Controller shall start performing the commands in the order in which they are received. The Controller can start performing a command before it completes previous commands. Therefore, the commands do not always complete in the order they are started.
To indicate to the Host that the Controller is ready to receive HCI command packets, the Controller may generate an HCI_Command_Complete or HCI_Command_Status event with the Command Opcode set to 0x0000 and the Num_HCI_Command_Packets event parameter set to 1 or more. Command Opcode 0x0000 is a special value indicating that this event is not associated with a command sent by the Host. The Controller can send an HCI_Command_Complete or HCI_Command_Status event with Command Opcode 0x0000 at any time to change the number of outstanding HCI Command packets that the Host can send before waiting. If the Controller generates an HCI_Command_Complete or HCI_Command_Status event with the Num_HCI_Command_Packets event parameter set to zero, the Host shall stop sending commands.
HCI commands may take different amounts of time to be completed. Therefore, the results of commands will be reported back to the Host in the form of an event. For example, for most HCI commands the Controller will generate the HCI_Command_Complete event when a command is completed. This event contains the return parameters for the completed HCI command. For enabling the Host to detect errors on the HCI-Transport Layer, there needs to be a timeout between the transmission of the Host’s command and the reception of the Controller’s response (e.g. an HCI_Command_Complete or HCI_Command_Status event). Since the maximum response timeout is strongly dependent on the HCI-Transport Layer used, it is recommended to use a default value of one second for this timer. This amount of time is also dependent on the number of commands unprocessed in the command queue.
There are two separate patterns of command execution. For the first type (used by those commands which are expected to complete quickly and are carried out entirely in the local Controller), the Controller shall send the Host an HCI_Command_Complete event when it has completed the command. For the second type (used by those commands that are expected to take a significant length of time, usually because they involve interaction with a peer device), the Controller shall send the Host an HCI_Command_Status event when it has received the command and checked the parameters. When the actions associated with the command have finished, a separate event that is associated with the command (the "completion event") shall be sent by the Controller to the Host. Between the times that these two events are generated (even if they have not yet been received by the Host), this type of command is described as "pending".
If a command of the second type does not begin to execute (for example, if there was a parameter error or the command is currently not allowed), the HCI_Command_Status event shall be returned with the appropriate error code in the Status parameter and no completion event is generated.
When a Connection_Handle is deleted and there are pending commands relating to that Connection_Handle, the Controller may return the completion event for each command to the Host. Each such event shall have a non-zero status and shall precede the event indicating the deletion of the Connection_Handle. No events for that Connection_Handle shall be sent after the event indicating the deletion of the Connection_Handle.
4.5. Command error handling
Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the description of a command, any error in any parameter means that the command will not begin to execute; it will only return an error code. If more than one error code is applicable, the implementation shall choose one of them.
If an error occurs for a command for which an HCI_Command_Complete event is returned, the error shall be reported in the Status parameter.
If an error occurs for a command for which an HCI_Command_Status event and a completion event are returned, there are two possibilities; which happens will depend on the specific error. If the error is one which means the command will not begin to execute (including any errors in parameters), the error shall be returned as a non-zero Status parameter in the HCI_Command_Status event and no completion event will be returned. If the error is not detected until after the HCI_Command_Status event has been generated, the HCI_Command_Status event shall have the Status parameter set to zero and the error shall be returned in the Status parameter of the completion event.
If the Controller does not support an issued command, it shall return the error code Unknown HCI command (0x01) in the Status parameter of either an HCI_Command_Complete event or an HCI_Command_Status event; which event is used is vendor-specific.
If an error occurs for a command for which an HCI_Command_Complete event is returned, the Return Parameters field may only contain some of the return parameters specified for the command. The Status parameter, which explains the error reason and which is the first return parameter, shall always be returned. If there is a Handle parameter or a BD_ADDR parameter right after the Status parameter, this parameter shall also be returned so that the Host can identify to which instance of a command the HCI_Command_Complete event belongs. In this case, the Handle or BD_ADDR parameter shall have exactly the same value as that in the corresponding command parameter. It is implementation specific whether more parameters will be returned in case of an error; if they are not, the event will be shorter than if they were.
The above also applies to commands that have associated command specific completion events with a Status parameter in their completion event, with the exceptions shown in Table 4.1, which indicates the only parameters (other than Status) that are valid. The validity of other parameters is likewise implementation specific for failed commands in this group, but they shall be sent in any case.
Event | Valid parameters |
---|---|
Connection_Complete | BD_ADDR |
Synchronous_Connection_Complete | BD_ADDR |
LE_Connection_Complete | none |
LE_Enhanced_Connection_Complete | none |
LE_Periodic_Advertising_Sync_Established | none |
LE_CIS_Established | Connection_Handle |
LE_CIS_Request | none |
LE_Create_BIG_Complete | BIG_Handle |
LE_Terminate_BIG_Complete | BIG_Handle |
LE_BIG_Sync_Established | BIG_Handle |
LE_Request_Peer_SCA_Complete | Connection_Handle |
For the purposes of this section, the Subevent_Code parameter of the HCI_LE_Meta event (see Section 7.7.65) is not treated as a parameter and is always valid.
Note
Note: The BD_ADDR return parameter of the command HCI_Read_BD_ADDR is not used to identify to which instance of the HCI_Read_BD_ADDR command the HCI_Command_Complete event belongs. It is optional for the Controller to return this parameter in case of an error.
4.6. LMP transaction and LL procedure collisions
If the Host issues a command that returns a successful HCI_Command_Status event but then triggers an LMP transaction or Link Layer procedure that terminates with the error code LMP Error Transaction Collision / LL Procedure Collision (0x23) because the peer has also initiated the same transaction or procedure, then the Controller shall take one of the following actions:
The Controller shall wait until the peer-initiated transaction or procedure has completed and use the result to generate the command-specific completion event. In this case, the collision is not reported to the Host.
The Controller shall generate the command-specific completion event with the error code LMP Error Transaction Collision / LL Procedure Collision (0x23).
4.7. LE Host and Controller synchronization
To synchronize the timing of isochronous data received in the Host with the timing of the isochronous data received in the Controller from the isochronous physical channel, the Controller can include a time stamp (see [Vol 6] Part G, Section 1) in each HCI ISO Data packet. Similarly, the Host can include a time stamp in each SDU (see [Vol 6] Part G, Section 1) sent to the Controller.
A Host can use the HCI_LE_Read_ISO_TX_Sync command at any time to read the time stamp and packet sequence number of the last SDU scheduled for transmission.
4.8. Versioned events
If an event has more than one version and the event is generated, the Controller shall use the latest version that is enabled (“unmasked”) in the relevant event mask (see Section 7.3.1, Section 7.3.69, and Section 7.8.1).
5. HCI data formats
5.1. Correctness
The Controller shall set the value of return and event parameters so as to correctly represent the data or circumstances being reported. For example, in the HCI_Connection_Complete event (see [Vol 4] Part E, Section 7.7.3), the value of the Link_Type parameter must correctly indicate the type of connection being reported.
5.2. Data and parameter formats
All values are in binary and hexadecimal little-endian formats unless otherwise noted.
In addition, all parameters which can have negative values shall use two's complement when specifying values.
Unless noted otherwise, the order of parameters in an HCI Command packet or HCI Event packet is the order the parameters are listed in the command or event.
Arrayed parameters are specified using the following notation: ParameterA[i]. If more than one set of arrayed parameters are specified (e.g. ParameterA[i], ParameterB[i]), then, unless noted otherwise, the order of the parameters are as follows: ParameterA[0], ParameterB[0], ParameterA[1], ParameterB[1], ParameterA[2], ParameterB[2], ... ParameterA[n], ParameterB[n]. The description of an arrayed parameter will actually describe a single element of the array.
Unless noted otherwise, all parameter values are sent and received in little-endian format (i.e. for multi-octet parameters the rightmost (Least Significant Octet) is transmitted first).
Most command and event parameters that are not-arrayed and all elements in an arrayed parameter have fixed sizes (an integer number of octets). Where a parameter, or an element of an arrayed parameter, has a variable length, this will be noted in the specific command; the length will then be specified in another parameter.The parameters and the size of each not-arrayed parameter (or of each element in an arrayed parameter) contained in a command or an event is specified for each command or event. The number of elements in an arrayed parameter is not fixed.
Where a command or event has one or more arrayed parameters, the maximum value specified for the parameter that determines the array size can result in an array that is too big to fit in the HCI command or event packet. When this happens, the effective maximum of that parameter will be less than the specified maximum and can depend on the size or value of other parameters.
Where bit strings are specified, the low order bit is the right hand bit, e.g. 0 is the low order bit in 0b10.
Where a parameter value is described as "0xXX" or "N = 0xXX" (with an appropriate number of "X"s), then the description applies to all possible values other than any for which a separate description is given. Where the description specifies a range, values outside that range (if any) are reserved for future use.
Parameter values or opcodes that an implementation does not know how to interpret shall be ignored and the operation that is being attempted shall be completed with the correct signaling. The Host or Controller shall not stop functioning because of receiving a reserved value.
Unless noted otherwise, such as in a "Mandatory Range" statement or because a value relates to an optional feature that is not supported, the Controller shall support all valid values of all parameters (values reserved for future use are not valid).
5.3. IDs and Handles
Two types of identifiers are used in HCI commands and events.
IDs, assigned by the Host, are identifiers used between two peer devices and sent over the air in PDUs. Each different type of ID has a separate number space. The CIS_ID has a separate number space for each CIG_ID.
Handles, assigned by either the Host in a command or by the Controller in an event, are identifiers used between the Host and the Controller but not sent over the air. Some handles share the same number spaces and others have separate number spaces.
When a device allocates an ID or Handle for a new object (e.g. when the Controller allocates a Connection_Handle for a new ACL connection), it shall not use a handle that is currently allocated to another object in the same number space.
After a device deletes an ID or Handle (e.g. after the Controller deletes a Connection_Handle for a disconnected ACL connection), it may reuse the ID or Handle.
5.3.1. Controller handles
Connection_Handles, Sync_Handles, Advertising_Handles, and BIG_Handles are Controller Handles used to identify logical channels between the Host and the Controller.
Connection_Handles are assigned by the Controller when a new logical transport is created or reserved and reported to the Host in one of the following events: Connection Complete, Synchronous Connection Complete, LE Connection Complete, LE Enhanced Connection Complete, LE CIS Request, LE Create BIG Complete, HCI_LE_BIG_Sync_Established, or Command Complete events following the LE Set CIG Parameters command. Broadcast Connection_Handles that use the BR/EDR transport are handled differently, and are described in Section 5.3.1.1.
Sync_Handles are assigned by the Controller when a new logical transport is created and reported to the Host in the LE Periodic Advertising Sync Established event.
Advertising_Handles are assigned by the Host when a new advertising set is created by using the LE Set Extended Advertising Parameters command.
BIG_Handles are assigned by the Host when a new BIG is created using one of the following commands: LE Create BIG, LE Create BIG Test, and LE_BIG_Create_Sync.
All connection handles that are assigned by the Controller shall be derived from the same number space. Sync handles shall be assigned by the Controller from a separate number space.
Advertising handles and BIG handles are assigned by the Host from separate number spaces.
5.3.1.1. Broadcast Connection_Handles
The first time the Host sends an HCI ACL Data packet with Broadcast_Flag set to 0b01 (active Peripheral broadcast) after a power-on or a reset, the value of the Connection_Handle parameter shall be a value which is not currently assigned by the Controller.
The BR/EDR Controller shall then continue to use the same Connection_Handle for broadcast until a reset is made. The Controller shall not re-allocate a Connection_Handle that it knows is used for broadcast.
In some situations, it may happen that the Controller sends a Connection Complete event before having interpreted a Broadcast packet received from the Host, and that the Connection_Handles of both Connection Complete event and HCI ACL Data packet are the same. This conflict is avoided as follows:
If a Connection Complete event is received containing the Connection_Handle used for broadcast, the Host shall wait before sending any packets for the new connection until it receives a Number Of Completed Packets event indicating that there are no pending broadcast packets belonging to the Connection_Handle. The Host shall also change the Connection_Handle used for broadcast to a Connection_Handle which is currently not assigned by the Controller. This Connection_Handle shall then be used for all following broadcasts of until a reset is performed or the same conflict situation happens again. However, this will occur very rarely.
By following this procedure, the Controller can distinguish between the Broadcast message sent by the Host and the new connection made (this could be even a new synchronous link) even though the Connection_Handles are the same.
For an HCI ACL Data packet sent from the Controller to the Host where the Broadcast_Flag is 01, the Connection_Handle parameter should contain the Connection_Handle for the ACL connection to the Central that sent the broadcast.
For Connectionless Peripheral Broadcast, no Connection_Handle is assigned.
5.3.2. [This section is no longer used]
5.4. Exchange of HCI-specific information
The Host Controller Transport Layer provides transparent exchange of HCI specific information. These transporting mechanisms provide the ability for the Host to send HCI commands, receive HCI events, and send and receive data to the Controller. Since the Host Controller Transport Layer provides transparent exchange of HCI-specific information, the HCI specification specifies the format of the commands, events, and data exchange between the Host and the Controller(s). The next sections specify the HCI packet formats.
5.4.1. HCI Command packet
The HCI Command packet is used to send commands to the Controller from the Host. The format of the HCI Command packet is shown in Figure 5.1, and the definition of each field is explained below.
Controllers shall be able to accept HCI Command packets with up to 255 bytes of data excluding the HCI Command packet header. The HCI Command packet header is the first 3 octets of the packet.
Each command is assigned a 2 byte Opcode used to uniquely identify different types of commands. The Opcode parameter is divided into two fields, called the Opcode Group Field (OGF) and Opcode Command Field (OCF). The OGF occupies the upper 6 bits of the Opcode, while the OCF occupies the remaining 10 bits. Any opcode not mentioned in this Part is reserved for future use.
The OGF value 0x3E is reserved for future use (used for specification development purposes).
The OGF of 0x3F is reserved for vendor-specific debug commands. The organization of the opcodes allows additional information to be inferred without fully decoding the entire Opcode.
Note
Note: The OGF composed of all ‘ones’ has been reserved for vendor-specific debug commands. These commands are vendor-specific and are used during manufacturing, for a possible method for updating firmware, and for debugging.
On receipt of a Vendor Specific Debug command the Controller should respond with either:
An HCI_Command_Status event. If the status indicates success ( Section 7.7.15) then this event shall be followed by an HCI event with Event Code field of 0xFF ( Section 5.4.4).
An HCI_Command_Complete event specifying the corresponding Vendor Specific Debug command opcode.
The Host shall assume that sending of an HCI_Vendor_Specific_Debug command will consume an HCI command credit.
Opcode: | Size: 2 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXX | OGF Range (6 bits): 0x00 to 0x3F (0x3F reserved for vendor-specific debug commands) OCF Range (10 bits): 0x0000 to 0x03FF |
Parameter_Total_Length: | Size: 1 octet |

0xXX | Each command has a specific number of parameters associated with it. These parameters and the size of each of the parameters are defined for each command. Each parameter is an integer number of octets in size. |
5.4.2. HCI ACL Data packets
HCI ACL Data packets are used to exchange data between the Host and Controller. There are two types of HCI ACL Data packets:
Automatically-Flushable
Non-Automatically-Flushable
Automatically-Flushable HCI ACL Data packets are flushed based on the setting of an automatic flush timer (see Read Automatic Flush Timeout command). Non-Automatically-Flushable HCI ACL Data packets are not controlled by the automatic flush timeout and shall not be automatically flushed. The format of the HCI ACL Data packet is shown in Figure 5.2. The definition for each of the fields in the data packets is explained below.
Hosts and Controllers shall be able to accept HCI ACL Data packets with up to 27 bytes of data excluding the HCI ACL Data packet header on Connection_Handles associated with an LE-U logical link.The HCI ACL Data packet header is the first 4 octets of the packet.
Note
Note: HCI ACL Data packets with a Connection_Handle associated with an LE-U logical link will not be affected by the automatic flush timer because only non-flushable packet boundary flags are allowed.
Handle: | Size: 12 Bits |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXX | Connection_Handle to be used for transmitting a data packet or segment over a Controller. Range: 0x000 to 0xEFF (all other values reserved for future use) |
The Flag Bits consist of the Packet_Boundary_Flag and Broadcast_Flag. The Packet_Boundary_Flag is located in bit 4 and bit 5, and the Broadcast_Flag is located in bit 6 and bit 7 in the second octet of the HCI ACL Data packet.
Packet_Boundary_Flag: | Size: 2 Bits |
Value | Parameter Description | APB-U | ACL-U | LE-U | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
0b00 | First non-automatically-flushable packet of a higher layer message (start of a non-automatically-flushable L2CAP PDU) from Host to Controller. | Host to Controller | Not allowed | Allowed | Allowed |

0b01 | Continuing fragment of a higher layer message | Host to Controller | Allowed | Allowed | Allowed |
Controller to Host | Allowed | Allowed | Allowed | ||
0b10 | First automatically flushable packet of a higher layer message (start of an automatically-flushable L2CAP PDU). | Host to Controller | Allowed | Allowed | Not Allowed |
Controller to Host | Allowed | Allowed | Allowed | ||
0b11 | Previously used |
The start of a non-flushable packet of a higher layer message (start of a non-automatically-flushable L2CAP PDU) with the PBF of 0b00 shall be transmitted with an LLID of 0b10. All continuing fragment packets of a higher layer message shall be transmitted with an LLID of 0b01.

0b10 | Reserved for future use. |
0b11 | Reserved for future use. |
Note
Note: The Broadcast_Flag value 0b01 may only be used in packets from Host to Controller on the Central of a piconet and from Controller to Host on the Peripheral of a piconet. Peripherals in Sniff mode will only receive a broadcast packet if it happens to be sent in a sniff slot when the Peripheral is listening.
Data_Total_Length: | Size: 2 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXX | Length of data measured in octets. |
5.4.3. HCI Synchronous Data packets
HCI Synchronous Data packets are used to exchange synchronous data (SCO and eSCO) between the Host and Controller. The format of the HCI Synchronous Data packet is shown in Figure 5.3. The definition for each of the fields in the data packets is explained below. The HCI Synchronous Data packet header is the first 3 octets of the packet.
Connection_Handle: | Size: 12 Bits |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXX | Connection_Handle to be used to for transmitting a synchronous data packet or segment. Range: 0x0000 to 0x0EFF |
The Packet_Status_Flag bits consist of two bits, which are located from bit 4 to 5 in the second octet of the HCI Synchronous Data packet.
The Host shall set the Packet_Status_Flag bits to 0b00.
If the Erroneous_Data_Reporting parameter was set to disabled when the synchronous connection was created, the Controller shall set the Packet_Status_Flag bits to 0b00 and whether or not data is provided for cases when a valid (e)SCO packet was not received is unspecified.
If the Erroneous_Data_Reporting parameter was set to enabled when the synchronous connection was created, the Controller shall set the Packet_Status_Flag according to the following table.
Packet_Status_Flag (in packets sent by the Controller): | Size: 2 Bits |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0b00 | Correctly received data. The payload data belongs to received eSCO or SCO packets that the Baseband marked as “good data”. |
0b01 | Possibly invalid data. At least one eSCO packet has been marked by the Baseband as “data with possible errors” and all others have been marked as “good data” in the eSCO interval(s) corresponding to the HCI Synchronous Data packet. |
0b10 | No data received. All data from the Baseband received during the (e)SCO interval(s) corresponding to the HCI Synchronous Data packet have been marked as "lost data" by the Baseband. The Payload data octets shall be set to 0. |
0b11 | Data partially lost. Not all, but at least one (e)SCO packet has been marked as “lost data” by the Baseband in the (e)SCO intervals corresponding to the HCI Synchronous Data packet. The payload data octets corresponding to the missing (e)SCO packets shall be set to 0. |
Note
Note: Some HCI transports and/or Controller implementations will align the HCI Synchronous Data packets with the (e)SCO Baseband packets such that data integrity can be explicitly marked in the Packet_Status_Flag. For HCI transports or Controller implementations that do not preserve this alignment, information in the Packet_Status_Flag may be ambiguous.
Data_Total_Length: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXX | Length of synchronous data measured in octets |
5.4.4. HCI Event packet
The HCI Event packet is used by the Controller to notify the Host when events occur. If the Controller sends an HCI Event Packet containing an Event Code or an LE subevent code that the Host has not masked out and does not support, the Host shall ignore that packet. Any event code or LE subevent code not mentioned in this Part is reserved for future use. The Host shall be able to accept HCI Event packets with up to 255 octets of data excluding the HCI Event packet header. The format of the HCI Event packet is shown in Figure 5.4, and the definition of each field is explained below. The HCI Event packet header is the first 2 octets of the packet.
The event code 0xFE is reserved for future use (used for specification development purposes). The event code 0xFF is reserved for vendor-specific debugging events.
Note
Note: An LE Controller uses a single Event Code (see Section 7.7.65) to transmit all LE specific events from the Controller to the Host. The first Event Parameter is always a subevent code identifying the specific event. Controllers should use subevent codes with Event Codes 0xFE and 0xFF.
Event_Code: | Size: 1 octet |

0xXX | Each event has a specific number of parameters associated with it. These parameters and the size of each of the parameters are defined for each event. Each parameter is an integer number of octets in size. |
5.4.5. HCI ISO Data packets
HCI ISO Data packets are used to exchange isochronous data between the Host and Controller. An HCI ISO Data packet holds either an SDU or part of an SDU. In the Host to Controller direction, it cannot contain more data than the size of the buffer supported by the Controller. If the length of an SDU is greater than the Controller's buffer size, the Host may need to fragment that SDU. The Controller shall not start sending an SDU or fragments of an SDU to the Host until all the PDUs containing data from that SDU have either been received or can no longer be received because the last opportunity for them to be transmitted has passed. SDU fragments generated over HCI are unrelated to the SDU fragments generated by ISOAL.
The format of the HCI ISO Data packet is shown in Figure 5.5. The definition of each field in the packet is given below. The HCI ISO Data packet header is the first 4 octets of the packet.
If PB_Flag equals 0b00 or 0b10, then the Packet_Sequence_Number, ISO_SDU_Length, and Packet_Status_Flag fields (plus the intermediate RFU field) shall all be present in the packet and the Time_Stamp field may be present. If PB_Flag equals 0b01 or 0b11, then none of these fields shall be included in the packet.
Connection_Handle: | Size: 12 bits |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXX | Connection_Handle to be used for transmitting an ISO SDU or fragment. Range: 0x000 to 0xEFF |

0b01 | The ISO_SDU_Fragment field contains an intermediate fragment of an SDU. |
0b10 | The ISO_SDU_Fragment field contains a complete SDU. |
0b11 | The ISO_SDU_Fragment field contains the last fragment of an SDU. |
TS_Flag: | Size: 1 bit |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|

1 | The Time_Stamp field is present in the packet. |
Data_Total_Length: | Size: 14 bits |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXX | Length of the packet, excluding the packet header, in octets. |
In the Host to Controller direction, Data_Total_Length shall be less than or equal to the size of the buffer supported by the Controller (which is returned using the ISO_Data_Packet_Length return parameter of the LE Read Buffer Size command).
If PB_Flag is 0b01 or 0b11, then Data_Total_Length may be zero. Otherwise Data_Total_Length is at least 4 if TS_Flag is 0 and at least 8 if TS_Flag is 1.
Time_Stamp: | Size: 32 bits |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXXXXXX | A time in microseconds (see [Vol 6] Part G, Section 3). |
Packet_Sequence_Number: | Size: 16 bits |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXX | The sequence number of the SDU (see [Vol 6] Part G, Section 1). |
ISO_SDU_Length: | Size: 12 bits |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXX | The total length of the SDU (and not of any individual fragments), in octets. |
The Packet_Status_Flag field indicates the status of the packet that the Controller receives over the isochronous physical channel. The Packet_Status_Flag field is only valid in HCI ISO Data packets sent by the Controller and is reserved for future use in packets sent by the Host.
Packet_Status_Flag (in packets sent by the Controller) | Size: 2 bits |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0b00 | Valid data. The complete SDU was received correctly. |
0b01 | Possibly invalid data. The contents of the ISO_SDU_Fragment may contain errors or part of the SDU may be missing. This is reported as "data with possible errors". |
0b10 | Part(s) of the SDU were not received correctly. This is reported as "lost data". |
All other values | Reserved for future use |
The ISO_SDU_Fragment field shall contain the isochronous data (the SDU or fragment of the SDU). This field may be empty. When Packet_Status_Flag is set to 0b10 in packets from the Controller to the Host, there is no data, PB_Flag shall be set to 0b10, and ISO_SDU_Length shall be set to zero.
5.5. Ignored parameters
When a parameter of a command or event is described as “ignored” (this is usually only in a specific circumstance), then the value of this parameter shall not affect the behavior of the recipient (whether Controller or Host ) in any way. In particular, the Controller shall not report an error because the value is out of range, reserved for future use, or represents an inappropriate entity (e.g. a Connection_Handle may be unassigned or for the wrong logical channel), or because two related values have the wrong relationship (e.g. minimum > maximum).
6. HCI configuration parameters

All other values | Reserved for future use |
6.6. Page Timeout
The Page_Timeout configuration parameter together with Extended_Page_Timeout defines the maximum time the local Link Manager will wait for a Baseband page response from the remote device at a locally initiated connection attempt. If this time expires and the remote BR/EDR Controller has not responded to the page at Baseband level, the connection attempt will be considered to have failed.
Page_Timeout: | Size: 2 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
N = 0xXXXX | Range: 0x0001 to 0xFFFF Default: 0x2000 Mandatory Range: 0x0016 to 0xFFFF Time = N × 0.625 ms Time Range: 0.625 ms to 40.9 s Time Default: 5.12 s |

6.12. Voice Setting
The Voice_Setting parameter controls all the various settings for voice connections. The Voice_Setting parameter controls the configuration for voice connections: Input Coding, Air coding format, input data format, Input sample size, and linear PCM parameter. The air coding format bits in the Voice_Setting command parameter specify which air coding format the local device requests. The air coding format bits do not specify which air coding format(s) the local device accepts when a remote device requests an air coding format. This is determined by the hardware capabilities of the local BR/EDR Controller.
Voice_Setting: | Size: 1 octet |
Bit number | Parameter description | |
---|---|---|
0 – 1 | Air coding format | 0: CVSD 1: µ-law 2: A-law 3. transparent data |

PIN_Type: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x00 | Variable PIN. |
0x01 | Fixed PIN. |
6.14. Link key
The Controller can store a limited number of link keys for other BR/EDR Controllers. Link keys are shared between two BR/EDR Controllers, and are used for all security transactions between the two BR/EDR Controllers. A Host device may have additional storage capabilities, which can be used to save additional link keys to be reloaded to the BR/EDR Controller when needed. A Link_Key is associated with a BD_ADDR.
Link_Key: | Size: 16 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX | Link Key for an associated BD_ADDR. |
6.15. Failed Contact Counter
The Failed_Contact_Counter records the number of consecutive incidents in which either the local or remote device did not respond after the flush timeout had expired, and the L2CAP PDU that was currently being transmitted was automatically ‘flushed’. When this occurs, the Failed_Contact_Counter is incremented by 1.
The Failed_Contact_Counter is maintained for each Connection_Handle.
The Failed_Contact_Counter for a connection is reset to zero on the following conditions:
When a new connection is established
When the Failed_Contact_Counter is not zero and an L2CAP PDU is acknowledged for that connection
When the HCI_Reset_Failed_Contact_Counter command has been issued
Failed_Contact_Counter: | Size: 2 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXX | Number of consecutive failed contacts for a connection corresponding to the Connection_Handle |
6.16. Authentication Enable
The Authentication_Enable parameter controls if the local device requires to authenticate the remote device at connection setup (between the HCI_Create_Connection command or acceptance of an incoming ACL connection and the corresponding Connection Complete event). At connection setup, only the device(s) with the Authentication_Enable parameter enabled will try to authenticate the other device.
Note
Note: Changing this parameter does not affect existing connections.
Authentication_Enable: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x00 | Authentication not required. |
0x01 | Authentication required for all connections. |
All other values | Reserved for future use |
6.17. Hold Mode Activity
The Hold_Mode_Activity value is used to determine what activities should be suspended when the BR/EDR Controller is in Hold mode. After the hold period has expired, the device will return to the previous mode of operation. If no activities are suspended, then all of the current Periodic Inquiry, Inquiry Scan, and Page Scan settings remain valid during the Hold mode. If the Hold_Mode_Activity parameter is set to Suspend Page Scan, Suspend Inquiry Scan, and Suspend Periodic Inquiries, then the device can enter a low-power state during the Hold mode period and all activities are suspended. The Hold Mode Activity is only valid if all connections are in Hold mode.
Hold_Mode_Activity: | Size: 1 octet |
Bit | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0 | Suspend Page Scan. |
1 | Suspend Inquiry Scan. |
2 | Suspend Periodic Inquiries. |
All other bits | Reserved for future use. |
6.18. Link Policy Settings
The Link_Policy_Settings parameter determines the behavior of the local Link Manager when it receives a request from a remote Link Manager or it determines itself to change role or to enter Hold or Sniff mode. The local Link Manager will automatically accept or reject such a request from the remote device, and may even autonomously request itself, depending on the value of the Link_Policy_Settings parameter for the corresponding Connection_Handle. When the value of the Link_Policy_Settings parameter is changed for a certain Connection_Handle, the new value will only be used for requests from a remote device or from the local Link Manager itself made after this command has been completed. By enabling each mode individually, the Host can choose any combination needed to support various modes of operation. Multiple LM policies may be specified for the Link_Policy_Settings parameter by performing a bitwise OR operation of the different activity types.
Note
Note: The local BR/EDR Controller may be forced into Hold mode (regardless of whether the local device is Central or Peripheral) by the remote device regardless of the value of the Link_Policy_Settings parameter. The forcing of Hold mode can however only be done once the connection has already been placed into Hold mode through an LMP request (the Link_Policy_Settings determine if requests from a remote device should be accepted or rejected). The forcing of Hold mode can after that be done as long as the connection lasts regardless of the setting for Hold mode in the Link_Policy_Settings parameter.
Note
Note: If the implementation in the remote device is a “polite” implementation that does not force another device into Hold mode via LMP PDUs, then the Link_Policy_Settings will never be overruled.
Link_Policy_Settings: | Size: 1 octet |
Bit Number | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0 | Enable Role switch. |
1 | Enable Hold mode. |
2 | Enable Sniff mode. |
All other bits | Reserved for future use. |
6.19. Flush Timeout
The Flush_Timeout configuration parameter is used for ACL connections on a BR/EDR Controller only. The Flush Timeout is defined in [Vol 2] Part B, Section 7.6.3. This parameter allows automatically-flushable ACL packets to be automatically flushed without the Host device issuing an HCI_Flush command. This provides support for isochronous data, such as audio. Non-automatically-flushable ACL packets shall not be affected by this parameter (see Section 5.4.2) providing support for both asynchronous and isochronous data on the same ACL connection. When the L2CAP packet that is currently being transmitted is automatically ‘flushed’, the Failed _Contact_Counter is incremented by one.
Flush_Timeout: | Size: 2 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x0000 | Timeout = ∞; No Automatic Flush |
N = 0xXXXX | Range: 0x0001 to 0x07FF Mandatory Range: 0x0002 to 0x07FF Time = N × 0.625 ms Time Range: 0.625 ms to 1279.375 ms |
6.20. Num Broadcast Retransmissions
Broadcast packets are not acknowledged and are unreliable. The Num_Broadcast_Retransmissions parameter, N, is used to increase the reliability of a broadcast message by retransmitting the broadcast message multiple times. This sets the value NBC in the Baseband to one greater than the Num_Broadcast_Retransmissions value. (See [Vol 2] Part B, Section 7.6.5) This parameter should be adjusted as the link quality measurement changes.
Num_Broadcast_Retransmissions: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
N = 0xXX | NBC = N + 1 Range: 0x00 to 0xFE |
6.21. Link Supervision Timeout
The Link_Supervision_Timeout parameter is used by the Controller to monitor link loss. If, for any reason, no packets are received from that Connection_Handle for a duration longer than the Link_Supervision_Timeout, the connection shall be disconnected. For the BR/EDR Controller, the same timeout value is used for both synchronous and ACL connections for the device specified by the Connection_Handle.
Note
Note: Setting the Link_Supervision_Timeout to No link supervision timeout (0x0000) on a BR/EDR Controller will disable the Link_Supervision_Timeout check for the specified Connection_Handle.
Link_Supervision_TImeout: | Size: 2 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x0000 | No link supervision timeout. |
N = 0xXXXX | Range: 0x0001 to 0xFFFF Default: 0x7D00 Mandatory Range: 0x0190 to 0xFFFF Time = N × 0.625 ms Time Range: 0.625 ms to 40.9 s Time Default: BR/EDR 20 s |
6.22. Synchronous Flow Control Enable
The Synchronous_Flow_Control_Enable configuration parameter allows the Host to decide if the BR/EDR Controller will send HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Packets events for synchronous Connection_Handles. This setting allows the Host to enable and disable synchronous flow control.
Synchronous_Flow_Control_Enable: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |

6.23. Local Name
The user-friendly Local_Name provides the user the ability to distinguish one BR/EDR Controller from another. The Local_Name configuration parameter is a UTF-8 encoded string with the type utf8{248} defined in [Vol 1] Part E, Section 2.9.3.
Note
Note: The Local_Name configuration parameter is a string parameter. Endianness does therefore not apply to the Local_Name configuration parameter. The first octet of the name is received first.
Local_Name: | Size: 248 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
A UTF-8 encoded User Friendly Descriptive Name for the device with type utf8{248}. |
6.24. Extended Inquiry response
The Extended_Inquiry_Response provides information about the local device in response to inquiry from remote devices. The configuration parameter has two parts, a significant part followed by a non-significant part. The non-significant part contains only zero octets. The data format of the significant part is defined in [Vol 3] Part C, Section 8.
Extended_Inquiry_Response: | Size: 240 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
Information about the local device that will be sent in an extended inquiry response packet to remote devices during inquiry response. |
6.25. Erroneous Data Reporting
The Erroneous_Data_Reporting configuration parameter shall be used for SCO and eSCO connections only. This parameter determines if the BR/EDR Controller is required to provide data to the Host for every (e)SCO interval, with the Packet_Status_Flag in HCI Synchronous Data packets set according to Section 5.4.3.
Erroneous_Data_Reporting: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x00 | Erroneous data reporting disabled |
0x01 | Erroneous data reporting enabled. |
All other values | Reserved for future use |
6.26. Class of Device
The Class_Of_Device parameter is used to indicate the capabilities of the local device to other devices.
Class_Of_Device: | Size: 3 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXXXX | Class of Device for the device. |
6.27. Supported commands
The Supported_Commands configuration parameter lists which HCI commands the local Controller supports.
The Supported_Commands is a 64 octet bit field. If a bit is set to 1, then this command is supported.
Supported_Commands: | Size: 64 octets |
Octet | Bit | Command Supported |

7.1. Link Control commands
The Link Control commands allow a Controller to control connections to other BR/EDR Controllers. Some Link Control commands are used only with a BR/EDR Controller whereas other Link Control commands are also used with an LE Controller.
In the BR/EDR Controller, when the Link Control commands are used, the Link Manager (LM) controls how the Bluetooth piconets and scatternets are established and maintained. These commands instruct the LM to create and modify Link Layer connections with Bluetooth remote devices, perform Inquiries of other BR/EDR Controllers in range, and other LMP commands.
In the LE Controller, Link Control commands are used to disconnect physical links.
For the Link Control commands, the OGF is defined as 0x01.
7.1.1. Inquiry command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Inquiry | 0x0001 | LAP, Inquiry_Length, Num_Responses | none |
Description:
This command causes the BR/EDR Controller to enter Inquiry Mode. Inquiry Mode is used to discover other nearby BR/EDR Controllers. The LAP input parameter contains the LAP from which the inquiry access code shall be derived when the inquiry procedure is made. The Inquiry_Length parameter, added to Extended_Inquiry_Length (see Section 6.42), specifies the total duration of the Inquiry Mode and, when this time expires, Inquiry will be halted. The Num_Responses parameter specifies the number of responses that can be received before the Inquiry is halted. HCI_Inquiry_Result, HCI_Inquiry_Result_with_RSSI, or HCI_Extended_Inquiry_Result events will be sent to report the details of nearby BR/EDR Controllers that have responded to this inquiry. The HCI_Inquiry_Complete event is sent to report that Inquiry Mode has ended.
A device which responds during an inquiry or inquiry period should always be reported to the Host in an HCI_Inquiry_Result, HCI_Inquiry_Result_with_RSSI, or HCI_Extended_Inquiry_Result event if the device has not been reported earlier during the current inquiry or inquiry period and the device has not been filtered out using the command HCI_Set_Event_Filter. If the device has been reported earlier during the current inquiry or inquiry period, whether it is reported again will depend on the implementation (e.g. whether earlier results have been saved in the BR/EDR Controller and in that case how many responses have been saved). It is recommended that the BR/EDR Controller tries to report a particular device only once during an inquiry or inquiry period.
Command parameters:
LAP: | Size: 3 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXXXX | The LAP from which the inquiry access code should be derived when the inquiry procedure is made; see Assigned Numbers. Range: 0x9E8B00 to 0x9E8B3F |
Inquiry_Length: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
N = 0xXX | Maximum amount of time (added to Extended_Inquiry_Length) specified before the Inquiry is halted. Range: 0x01 to 0x30 Time = N × 1.28 s Range: 1.28 to 61.44 s |

Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x00 | Unlimited number of responses. |
0xXX | Maximum number of responses from the Inquiry before the Inquiry is halted. Range: 0x01 to 0xFF |
Return parameters:
None.
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
An HCI_Command_Status event shall be sent from the BR/EDR Controller to the Host when the BR/EDR Controller has started the Inquiry process. Unless filtered, an HCI_Inquiry_Result, HCI_Inquiry_Result_with_RSSI, or HCI_Extended_Inquiry_Result event shall be created for each BR/EDR Controller which responds to the Inquiry message. In addition, multiple BR/EDR Controllers which respond to the Inquire message may be combined into the same event. An HCI_Inquiry_Complete event shall be generated when the Inquiry process has completed.
7.1.2. Inquiry Cancel command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Inquiry_Cancel | 0x0002 | none | Status |
Description:
This command shall cause the BR/EDR Controller to stop the current Inquiry if the BR/EDR Controller is in Inquiry Mode. This command allows the Host to interrupt the BR/EDR Controller and request the BR/EDR Controller to perform a different task. The command should only be issued after the HCI_Inquiry command has been issued, an HCI_Command_Status event has been received for the Inquiry command, and before the HCI_Inquiry_Complete event occurs.
Command parameters:
None.
Return parameters:
Status: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x00 | HCI_Inquiry_Cancel command succeeded. |
0x01 to 0xFF | HCI_Inquiry_Cancel command failed. See [Vol 1] Part F, Controller Error Codes for a list of error codes and descriptions. |
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the HCI_Inquiry_Cancel command has completed, an HCI_Command_Complete event shall be generated. No HCI_Inquiry_Complete event will be generated for the cancelled Inquiry process.
7.1.3. Periodic Inquiry Mode command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Periodic_Inquiry_Mode | 0x0003 | Max_Period_Length, Min_Period_Length, LAP, Inquiry_Length, Num_Responses | Status |
Description:
The HCI_Periodic_Inquiry_Mode command is used to configure the BR/EDR Controller to enter the Periodic Inquiry Mode that performs an automatic Inquiry. Max_Period_Length and Min_Period_Length define the time range between two consecutive inquiries, from the beginning of an inquiry until the start of the next inquiry. The BR/EDR Controller shall use this range to determine a new random time between two consecutive inquiries for each Inquiry. The LAP input parameter contains the LAP from which the inquiry access code shall be derived when the inquiry procedure is made. The Inquiry_Length parameter, added to Extended_Inquiry_Length (see Section 6.42), specifies the total duration of the Inquiry Mode and, when time expires, Inquiry will be halted. The Num_Responses parameter specifies the number of responses that can be received before the Inquiry is halted. This command is completed when the Inquiry process has been started by the BR/EDR Controller, and an HCI_Command_Complete event is sent from the Controller to the Host. When each of the periodic Inquiry processes are completed, the Controller will send an HCI_Inquiry_Complete event to the Host indicating that the latest periodic Inquiry process has finished. When a BR/EDR Controller responds to the Inquiry message, an HCI_Inquiry_Result, HCI_Inquiry_Result_with_RSSI, or HCI_Extended_Inquiry_Result event will occur to notify the Host of the discovery.
Max_Period_Length shall be greater than Min_Period_Length. Min_Period_Length shall be greater than (Inquiry_Length + Extended Inquiry_Length).
A device which responds during an inquiry or inquiry period should always be reported to the Host in an HCI_Inquiry_Result, HCI_Inquiry_Result_with_RSSI, or HCI_Extended_Inquiry_Result event if the device has not been reported earlier during the current inquiry or inquiry period and the device has not been filtered out using the command HCI_Set_Event_Filter. If the device has been reported earlier during the current inquiry or inquiry period, whether it is reported again will depend on the implementation (e.g. whether earlier results have been saved in the BR/EDR Controller and in that case how many responses have been saved). It is recommended that the BR/EDR Controller tries to report a particular device only once during an inquiry or inquiry period.

0x01 to 0xFF | HCI_Periodic_Inquiry_Mode command failed. See [Vol 1] Part F, Controller Error Codes for a list of error codes and descriptions. |
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
The HCI Periodic Inquiry Mode begins when the BR/EDR Controller sends the HCI_Command_Complete event for this command to the Host. Unless filtered, an HCI_Inquiry_Result, HCI_Inquiry_Result_with_RSSI, or HCI_Extended_Inquiry_Result event shall be created for each remote device that has responded to the Inquiry message. In addition, multiple BR/EDR Controllers which response to the Inquiry message may be combined into the same event. An HCI_Inquiry_Complete event shall be generated when each of the periodic Inquiry processes has completed. No HCI_Inquiry_Complete event will be generated for the cancelled Inquiry process.
7.1.4. Exit Periodic Inquiry Mode command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Exit_Periodic_Inquiry_Mode | 0x0004 | none | Status |
Description:
The HCI_Exit_Periodic_Inquiry_Mode command is used to end the Periodic Inquiry mode when the local device is in Periodic Inquiry Mode. If the BR/EDR Controller is currently in an Inquiry process, the Inquiry process shall be stopped directly and the BR/EDR Controller shall no longer perform periodic inquiries until the HCI_Periodic_Inquiry_Mode command is reissued.
Command parameters:
None.
Return parameters:
Status: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x00 | HCI_Exit_Periodic_Inquiry_Mode command succeeded. |
0x01 to 0xFF | HCI_Exit_Periodic_Inquiry_Mode command failed. See [Vol 1] Part F, Controller Error Codes for a list of error codes and descriptions. |
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
An HCI_Command_Complete event for this command shall occur when the local device is no longer in Periodic Inquiry Mode. No HCI_Inquiry_Complete event will be generated for the cancelled Inquiry process.
7.1.5. Create Connection command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Create_Connection | 0x0005 | BD_ADDR, Packet_Type, Page_Scan_Repetition_Mode, Reserved, Clock_Offset, Allow_Role_Switch | none |
Description:
This command causes the Link Manager to create a connection to the remote device with the BD_ADDR specified by the command parameters. This command causes the local BR/EDR Controller to begin the Page process to create a link level connection. The Link Manager will determine how the new ACL connection is established. This ACL connection is determined by the current state of the device, its piconet, and the state of the device to be connected. The Packet_Type command parameter specifies which packet types the Link Manager shall use for the ACL connection; the Host shall not specify packet types that the local Controller does not support. When sending HCI ACL Data packets the Link Manager shall only use the packet type(s) specified by the Packet_Type command parameter or the always-allowed DM1 packet type. Multiple packet types may be specified for the Packet Type parameter by performing a bit-wise OR operation of the different packet types. The Link Manager may choose which packet type to be used from the list of acceptable packet types. The Page_Scan_Repetition_Mode parameter specifies the Page Scan Repetition mode supported by the remote device with the BD_ADDR. This is the most recent version of the information that was acquired either during the inquiry process or from an HCI_Page_Scan_Repetition_Mode_Change event (see Section 7.7.31). The Clock_Offset parameter is the difference between its own clock and the clock of the remote device with BD_ADDR. Only bits 2 to 16 of the difference are used, and they are mapped to this parameter as bits 0 to 14 respectively. A Clock_Offset_Valid_Flag, located in bit 15 of the Clock_Offset parameter, is used to indicate if the Clock Offset is valid or not. A Connection_Handle for this connection is returned in the HCI_Connection_Complete event (see below). The Allow_Role_Switch parameter specifies if the local device accepts or rejects the request from the remote device to switch roles at connection setup (in the Role parameter of the HCI_Accept_Connection_Request command) (before the local Controller returns an HCI_Connection_Complete event). For a definition of the different packet types see [Vol 2] Part B, Section 6.5.
Note
Note: The Host should enable as many packet types as possible for the Link Manager to perform efficiently.
Command parameters:
BD_ADDR: | Size: 6 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXXXXXXXXXX | BD_ADDR of the Device to be connected. |

Bit Number | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0-14 | Bits 16-2 of CLKNPeripheral - CLK |
15 | Clock_Offset_Valid_Flag Invalid Clock Offset = 0 Valid Clock Offset = 1 |
Allow_Role_Switch: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x00 | The local device will be a Central, and will not accept a role switch requested by the remote device at the connection setup. |
0x01 | The local device may be a Central, or may become a Peripheral after accepting a role switch requested by the remote device at the connection setup. |
All other values | Reserved for future use. |
Return parameters:
None.
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the BR/EDR Controller receives the HCI_Create_Connection command, the BR/EDR Controller shall send the HCI_Command_Status event to the Host. In addition, when the Link Manager determines the connection is established, the BR/EDR Controller, on both BR/EDR Controllers that form the connection, shall send an HCI_Connection_Complete event to each Host. The HCI_Connection_Complete event contains the Connection_Handle if this command is successful.
7.1.6. Disconnect command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Disconnect | 0x0006 | Connection_Handle, Reason | none |
Description:
The HCI_Disconnect command is used to terminate an existing connection. The Connection_Handle command parameter indicates which connection is to be disconnected. The Reason command parameter indicates the reason for ending the connection and is copied into the error code field of the LMP_DETACH PDU on a BR/EDR connection or the error code field of the LL_TERMINATE_IND or LL_CIS_TERMINATE_IND PDU on an LE connection. All SCO, eSCO, and CIS connections on a physical link should be disconnected before the ACL connection on the same physical connection is disconnected. If it does not, they will be implicitly disconnected as part of the ACL disconnection.
If, on the Central, the Host issues this command before issuing the HCI_LE_Create_CIS command for the same CIS (including if a previous CIS with the same CIS_ID in the same CIG has been terminated or considered lost), then the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If, on the Peripheral, the Host issues this command before the Controller has generated the HCI_LE_CIS_Established event for that CIS, then the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
Note
Note: As specified in Section 7.7.5, on the Central, the handle for a CIS remains valid even after disconnection and, therefore, the Host can recreate a disconnected CIS at a later point in time using the same connection handle.
Command parameters:
Connection_Handle: | Size: 2 octets (12 bits meaningful) |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXX | Connection_Handle Range: 0x0000 to 0x0EFF |
Reason: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x05, 0x13 to 0x15, 0x1A, 0x29, 0x3B | Authentication Failure error code (0x05), Other End Terminated Connection error codes (0x13 to 0x15), Unsupported Remote Feature error code (0x1A), Pairing with Unit Key Not Supported error code (0x29) and Unacceptable Connection Parameters error code (0x3B), see [Vol 1] Part F, Controller Error Codes for a list of error codes and descriptions. |
Return parameters:
None.
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the Controller receives the HCI_Disconnect command, it shall send the HCI_Command_Status event to the Host. The HCI_Disconnection_Complete event will occur at each Host when the termination of the connection has completed, and on the local Host also indicates that this command has been completed. The Reason event parameter in the event on the local Host shall be set to the value Connection Terminated by Local Host (0x16), while that on the remote Host shall be set to the value of the Reason command parameter. However, if the termination procedure completes because a timer expires and, therefore, the local Controller cannot determine whether or not the Reason command parameter was received by the remote Controller, the Reason event parameter on the local Host should instead be set to the value LMP Response Timeout / LL Response Timeout (0x22).
If this command is issued for a CIS on the Central and the CIS is successfully terminated before being established, then an HCI_LE_CIS_Established event shall also be sent for this CIS with the Status Operation Cancelled by Host (0x44).
7.1.7. Create Connection Cancel command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Create_Connection_Cancel | 0x0008 | BD_ADDR | Status, BD_ADDR |
Description:
This command is used to request cancellation of the ongoing connection creation process, which was started by an HCI_Create_Connection command of the local BR/EDR Controller.
Command parameters:
BD_ADDR: | Size: 6 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXXXXXXXXXX | BD_ADDR of the HCI_Create_Connection command that was issued before and is the subject of this cancellation request. |
Return parameters:
Status: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x00 | HCI_Create_Connection_Cancel command succeeded |
0x01 to 0xFF | HCI_Create_Connection_Cancel command failed. See [Vol 1] Part F, Controller Error Codes for list of error codes |
BD_ADDR: | Size: 6 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXXXXXXXXXX | BD_ADDR of the HCI_Create_Connection command that was issued before and is the subject of this cancellation request. |
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the HCI_Create_Connection_Cancel command has completed, an HCI_Command_Complete event shall be generated.
If the connection is already established by the Baseband, but the BR/EDR Controller has not yet sent the HCI_Connection_Complete event, then the local device shall detach the link and return an HCI_Command_Complete event with the status “Success”.
If the connection is already established, and the HCI_Connection_Complete event has been sent, then the Controller shall return an HCI_Command_Complete event with the error code Connection Already Exists (0x0B).
If the HCI_Create_Connection_Cancel command is sent to the Controller without a preceding HCI_Create_Connection command to the same device, the BR/EDR Controller shall return an HCI_Command_Complete event with the error code Unknown Connection Identifier (0x02).
The HCI_Connection_Complete event for the corresponding HCI_Create_Connection command shall always be sent. The HCI_Connection_Complete event shall be sent after the HCI_Command_Complete event for the HCI_Create_Connection_Cancel command. If the cancellation was successful, the HCI_Connection_Complete event will be generated with the error code Unknown Connection Identifier (0x02).
7.1.8. Accept Connection Request command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Accept_Connection_Request | 0x0009 | BD_ADDR, Role | none |
Description:
The HCI_Accept_Connection_Request command is used to accept a new incoming connection request. The HCI_Accept_Connection_Request command shall only be issued after an HCI_Connection_Request event has occurred. The HCI_Connection_Request event will return the BD_ADDR of the device which is requesting the connection. This command will cause the Link Manager to create a connection to the BR/EDR Controller, with the BD_ADDR specified by the command parameters. The Link Manager will determine how the new connection will be established. This will be determined by the current state of the device, its piconet, and the state of the device to be connected. The Role command parameter allows the Host to specify if the Link Manager shall request a role switch and become the Central for this connection. This is a preference and not a requirement. If the Role Switch fails then the connection will still be accepted, and the HCI_Role_Discovery command will reflect the current role.
The Link Manager may terminate the connection if it would be low on resources if the role switch fails. The decision to accept a connection should be completed before the connection accept timeout expires on the local Bluetooth Module.
Note
Note: When accepting a synchronous connection request, the Role parameter is not used and will be ignored by the BR/EDR Controller.
Note
Note: See Section 7.3.3 for the behavior when the HCI_Connection_Request event is masked or the connection is auto accepted.
Command parameters:
BD_ADDR: | Size: 6 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXXXXXXXXXX | BD_ADDR of the Device to be connected |
Role: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |

0x01 | Remain the Peripheral for this connection. The LM will NOT perform the role switch. |
Return parameters:
None.
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
The HCI_Accept_Connection_Request command shall cause the HCI_Command_Status event to be sent from the BR/EDR Controller when the BR/EDR Controller begins setting up the connection. In addition, when the Link Manager determines the connection is established, the local BR/EDR Controller shall send an HCI_Connection_Complete event to its Host, and the remote Controller will send an HCI_Connection_Complete event or an HCI_Synchronous_Connection_Complete event to the Host. The HCI_Connection_Complete event contains the Connection_Handle if this command is successful.
7.1.9. Reject Connection Request command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Reject_Connection_Request | 0x000A | BD_ADDR, Reason | none |
Description:
The HCI_Reject_Connection_Request command is used to decline a new incoming connection request. The HCI_Reject_Connection_Request command shall only be called after an HCI_Connection_Request event has occurred. The HCI_Connection_Request event will return the BD_ADDR of the device that is requesting the connection. The Reason command parameter will be returned to the connecting device in the Status parameter of the HCI_Connection_Complete event returned to the Host of the connection device, to indicate why the connection was declined.
Command parameters:
BD_ADDR: | Size: 6 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXXXXXXXXXX | BD_ADDR of the Device to reject the connection from. |
Reason: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x0D to 0x0F | Host Reject error code. See [Vol 1] Part F, Controller Error Codes for list of error codes and descriptions. |
Return parameters:
None.
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the Controller receives the HCI_Reject_Connection_Request command, the Controller shall send the HCI_Command_Status event to the Host. Then, the local BR/EDR Controller will send an HCI_Connection_Complete event to its Host, and the remote device shall send an HCI_Connection_Complete event or an HCI_Synchronous_Connection_Complete event to the Host. The Status parameter of the HCI_Connection_Complete event, which is sent to the Host of the device attempting to make the connection, will contain the Reason command parameter from this command.
7.1.10. Link Key Request Reply command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Link_Key_Request_Reply | 0x000B | BD_ADDR, Link_Key | Status, BD_ADDR |
Description:
The HCI_Link_Key_Request_Reply command is used to reply to an HCI_Link_Key_Request event from the Controller, and specifies the Link Key stored on the Host to be used as the link key for the connection with the other BR/EDR Controller specified by BD_ADDR. The HCI_Link_Key_Request event will be generated when the BR/EDR Controller needs a Link Key for a connection.
When the BR/EDR Controller generates an HCI_Link_Key_Request event in order for the local Link Manager to respond to the request from the remote Link Manager (as a result of an HCI_Create_Connection or HCI_Authentication_Requested command from the remote Host), the local Host shall respond with either an HCI_Link_Key_Request_Reply or HCI_Link_Key_Request_Negative_Reply command before the remote Link Manager detects LMP response timeout. (See [Vol 2] Part C.)
When the BR/EDR Controller supports the Secure Connections (Controller Support) feature, it shall discard the Link Key once the connection has been disconnected.

Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_PIN_Code_Request_Negative_Reply | 0x000E | BD_ADDR | Status, BD_ADDR |
Description:
The HCI_PIN_Code_Request_Negative_Reply command is used to reply to a PIN Code request event from the BR/EDR Controller when the Host cannot specify a PIN code to use for a connection. This command will cause the pair request with remote device to fail.
When the BR/EDR Controller generates an HCI_PIN_Code_Request event in order for the local Link Manager to respond to the request from the remote Link Manager (as a result of an HCI_Create_Connection or HCI_Authentication_Requested command from the remote Host), the local Host shall respond with either an HCI_PIN_Code_Request_Reply or HCI_PIN_Code_Request_Negative_Reply command before the remote Link Manager detects LMP response timeout. (See [Vol 2] Part C, Link Manager Protocol Specification.)
Command parameters:
BD_ADDR: | Size: 6 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXXXXXXXXXX | BD_ADDR of the Device which this command is responding to. |

7.1.14. Change Connection Packet Type command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Change_Connection_Packet_Type | 0x000F | Connection_Handle, Packet_Type | none |
Description:
The HCI_Change_Connection_Packet_Type command is used to change which packet types can be used for a connection that is currently established. This allows current connections to be dynamically modified to support different types of user data. The Packet_Type command parameter specifies which packet types the Link Manager can use for the connection; the Host shall not specify packet types that the local Controller does not support. When sending HCI ACL Data packets the Link Manager shall only use the packet type(s) specified by the Packet_Type command parameter or the always-allowed DM1 packet type. The interpretation of the value for the Packet_Type command parameter will depend on the Link_Type command parameter returned in the HCI_Connection_Complete event at the connection setup. Multiple packet types may be specified for the Packet_Type command parameter by bitwise OR operation of the different packet types. For a definition of the different packet types see [Vol 2] Part B, Section 6.5.
Note
Note: The Host should enable as many packet types as possible for the Link Manager to perform efficiently.
Note
Note: Use the HCI_Setup_Synchronous_Connection command to change an eSCO connection.
Command parameters:
Connection_Handle: | Size: 2 octets (12 bits meaningful) |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXX | Connection_Handle Range: 0x0000 to 0x0EFF |

6 | HV2 may be used. |
7 | HV3 may be used. |
All other bits | Reserved for future use. |
Return parameters:
None.
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the BR/EDR Controller receives the HCI_Change_Connection_Packet_Type command, the Controller shall send the HCI_Command_Status event to the Host. In addition, when the Link Manager determines the packet type has been changed for the connection, the Controller on the local device will send an HCI_Connection_Packet_Type_Changed event to the Host. This will be done at the local side only.
7.1.15. Authentication Requested command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Authentication_Requested | 0x0011 | Connection_Handle | none |
Description:
The HCI_Authentication_Requested command is used to try to authenticate the remote device associated with the specified Connection_Handle. On an authentication failure, the BR/EDR Controller or Link Manager shall not automatically detach the link. The Host is responsible for issuing an HCI_Disconnect command to terminate the link if the action is appropriate.
The Controller shall always perform the authentication with the remote device even if the link has already been authenticated or the Controller already has a stored link key.
Note: The Connection_Handle command parameter is used to identify the other BR/EDR Controller which forms the connection. The Connection_Handle should be a Connection_Handle for an ACL connection. The authentication will apply to all Connection_Handles with the same remote BR/EDR Controller.
Command parameters:
Connection_Handle: | Size: 2 octets (12 bits meaningful) |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXX | Connection_Handle Range: 0x0000 to 0x0EFF |
Return parameters:
None.
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the Controller receives the HCI_Authentication_Requested command, it shall send the HCI_Command_Status event to the Host.
If Secure Simple Pairing Mode is enabled, the HCI_Link_Key_Request event shall be generated, and Secure Simple Pairing shall be started only if the Host replies to it with the HCI_Link_Key_Request_Negative_Reply command; if the Host replies to it with the HCI_Link_Key_Request_Reply command, only the authentication procedure (see [Vol 2] Part C, Section 4.2.1) shall be performed and no Secure Simple Pairing shall be started.
If Secure Simple Pairing Mode is not enabled, then the BR/EDR Controller may, but should not, use an existing stored link key. If authentication fails, the HCI_PIN_Code_Request event may be generated.
Using an existing stored link key when Secure Simple Pairing mode is disabled is discouraged because it does not offer the Host a method for enhancing the security of an existing link (e.g., in the case where a profile mandating a minimum passkey length is started over a link that is already authenticated with shorter passkey than the new service requires).
The HCI_Authentication_Complete event is generated when the authentication has been completed for the connection and is the indication that this command has been completed.
7.1.16. Set Connection Encryption command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Set_Connection_Encryption | 0x0013 | Connection_Handle, Encryption_Enable | none |
Description:
The HCI_Set_Connection_Encryption command is used to enable and disable the link level encryption. The Connection_Handle command parameter is used to identify the other BR/EDR Controller which forms the connection. The Connection_Handle should be a Connection_Handle for an ACL connection. The encryption setting will apply to all Connection_Handles with the same remote BR/EDR Controller. While the encryption is being changed, the Link Manager will suspend all ACL-U traffic on the connection.
If both devices support both the Secure Connections (Controller Support) and Secure Connections (Host Support) features, and Encryption_Enable is set to Turn Link Level Encryption OFF when encryption is currently enabled on the specified Connection_Handle, the Controller shall return the error code Encryption Mode Not Acceptable (0x25).
Command parameters:

The HCI_Change_Connection_Link_Key command is used to force both devices of a connection associated with the Connection_Handle to generate a new link key. The link key is used for authentication and encryption of connections.
Note: The Connection_Handle command parameter is used to identify the other BR/EDR Controller forming the connection. The Connection_Handle should be a Connection_Handle for an ACL connection.
Note: The resulting link key, generated as a result of HCI_Change_Connection_Link_Key command, will be of equal link key strength to the previously used link key.
Command parameters:
Connection_Handle: | Size: 2 octets (12 bits meaningful) |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXX | Connection_Handle Range: 0x0000 to 0x0EFF |

The HCI_Link_Key_Notification event indicates that a new connection link key is valid for the connection.
7.1.18. Link Key Selection command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Link_Key_Selection | 0x0017 | Key_Flag | none |
Description:
The HCI_Link_Key_Selection command is used to force the device that is Central of the piconet to use the temporary link key or the semi-permanent link keys. The temporary link key is used for encryption of broadcast messages within a piconet, and the semi-permanent link keys are used for private encrypted point-to-point communication. The Key_Flag command parameter is used to indicate which Link Key (temporary link key or the semi-permanent link keys) shall be used.
The HCI_Link_Key_Selection command shall be rejected with error code Command Disallowed (0x0C) when all Peripherals in the piconet support AES-CCM encryption and Key_Flag is set to “Use Temporary Link Key”.
Note: When at least one Peripheral in the piconet cannot support AES-CCM encryption, encrypted broadcast packets will not be received by Peripherals where both the Controller and Host support Secure Connections. When all Peripherals in the piconet support AES-CCM encryption, broadcast packets will not be encrypted and may be received by Peripherals that have AES-CCM encryption enabled.
Command parameters:
Key_Flag: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x00 | Use semi-permanent Link Keys. |
0x01 | Use Temporary Link Key. |
Return parameters:
None.
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the BR/EDR Controller receives the HCI_Link_Key_Selection command, the BR/EDR Controller shall send the HCI_Command_Status event to the Host. When the Link Manager has changed link key, the BR/EDR Controller on both the local and the remote device shall send an HCI_Link_Key_Type_Changed event to the Host. If no change is required or the command fails, only the Controller on the local device shall send the event. The Connection_Handle on the Central side shall be a Connection_Handle for one of the existing connections to a Peripheral. On the Peripheral side, the Connection_Handle shall be a Connection_Handle to the initiating Central.

Description:
The HCI_Remote_Name_Request command is used to obtain the user-friendly name of another BR/EDR Controller. The user-friendly name is used to enable the user to distinguish one BR/EDR Controller from another. The BD_ADDR command parameter is used to identify the device for which the user-friendly name is to be obtained. The Page_Scan_Repetition_Mode parameter specifies the Page Scan Repetition mode supported by the remote device with the BD_ADDR. This is the most recent version of the information that was acquired either during the inquiry process or from an HCI_Page_Scan_Repetition_Mode_Change event (see Section 7.7.31). The Clock_Offset parameter is the difference between its own clock and the clock of the remote device with BD_ADDR. Only bits 2 to 16 of the difference are used and they are mapped to this parameter as bits 0 to 14 respectively. A Clock_Offset_Valid_Flag, located in bit 15 of the Clock_Offset command parameter, is used to indicate if the Clock Offset is valid or not.
When the HCI_Remote_Supported_Host_Features_Notification event is unmasked and when the HCI_Remote_Name_Request command initiates a connection, the Link Manager shall read the remote LMP features mask pages 0 and 1.

7.1.26. Setup Synchronous Connection command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Setup_Synchronous_Connection | 0x0028 | Connection_Handle, Transmit_Bandwidth, Receive_Bandwidth, Max_Latency, Voice_Setting, Retransmission_Effort, Packet_Type | none |
Description:
The HCI_Setup_Synchronous_Connection command adds a new or modifies an existing synchronous logical transport (SCO or eSCO) on a physical link depending on the Connection_Handle parameter specified. If the Connection_Handle refers to an ACL link a new synchronous logical transport will be added. If the ACL link has encryption enabled using AES-CCM and the Controller cannot establish an eSCO transport (e.g. the Host parameters restricting the packet types to only SCO packet types), the Controller shall return the error code Connection Rejected Due to Security Reasons (0x0E) and a SCO transport will not be established. If the Connection_Handle refers to an already existing synchronous logical transport (eSCO only) this link will be modified. The parameters are specified per connection. This synchronous connection can be used to transfer synchronous voice at 64 kb/s or transparent synchronous data.
When used to setup a new synchronous logical transport, the Connection_Handle parameter shall specify an ACL connection with which the new synchronous connection will be associated. The other parameters relate to the negotiation of the link, and may be reconfigured during the lifetime of the link. The transmit and receive bandwidth specify how much bandwidth shall be available for transmitting and for receiving data. While in many cases the receive and transmit bandwidth parameters may be equal, they may be different. The latency specifies an upper limit to the time in milliseconds between the eSCO (or SCO) instants, plus the size of the retransmission window, plus the length of the reserved synchronous slots for this logical transport. The content format specifies the settings for voice or transparent data on this connection. The retransmission effort specifies the extra resources that are allocated to this connection if a packet may need to be retransmitted. The Retransmission_Effort parameter shall be set to indicate the required behavior, or to don't care.
When used to modify an existing synchronous logical transport, the Transmit_Bandwidth, Receive_Bandwidth and Voice_Setting shall be set to the same values as were used during the initial setup. The Packet_Type, Retransmission_Effort and Max_Latency parameters may be modified.
The Packet_Type field is a bitmap specifying which packet types the LM shall accept in the negotiation of the link parameters. Multiple packet types are specified by bitwise OR of the packet type codes in the table. At least one packet type shall be specified for each negotiation. It is recommended to enable as many packet types as possible. The Host may enable packet types that are not supported by the local Controller.
A Connection_Handle for the new synchronous connection will be returned in an HCI_Synchronous_Connection_Complete event.
Note
Note: The link manager may choose any combination of packet types, timing, and retransmission window sizes that satisfy the parameters given. This may be achieved by using more frequent transmissions of smaller packets. The link manager may choose to set up either a SCO or an eSCO connection, if the parameters allow, using the corresponding LMP sequences.
Note
Note: To modify a SCO connection, use the HCI_Change_Connection_Packet_Type command.
If the lower layers cannot achieve the exact transmit and receive bandwidth requested subject to the other parameters, then the link shall be rejected.
A synchronous connection may only be created when an ACL connection already exists.

Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the BR/EDR Controller receives the HCI_Setup_Synchronous_Connection command, it shall send the HCI_Command_Status event to the Host. In addition, when the LM determines the connection is established, the local BR/EDR Controller shall send an HCI_Synchronous_Connection_Complete event to the local Host, and the remote Controller will send an HCI_Synchronous_Connection_Complete event or an HCI_Connection_Complete event to the remote Host. The HCI_Synchronous_Connection_Complete event contains the Connection_Handle if this command is successful.
If this command is used to change the parameters of an existing eSCO link, the HCI_Synchronous_Connection_Changed event is sent to both Hosts. In this case no HCI_Synchronous_Connection_Complete event, HCI_Connection_Request event, or HCI_Connection_Complete event will be sent to either Host. This command cannot be used to change the parameters of a SCO link.
7.1.27. Accept Synchronous Connection Request command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Accept_Synchronous_Connection_Request | 0x0029 | BD_ADDR, Transmit_Bandwidth, Receive_Bandwidth, Max_Latency, Voice_Setting, Retransmission_Effort, Packet_Type | none |
Description:
The HCI_Accept_Synchronous_Connection_Request command is used to accept an incoming request for a synchronous connection and to inform the local Link Manager about the acceptable parameter values for the synchronous connection.
The command shall only be issued after an HCI_Connection_Request event with link type SCO or eSCO has occurred. The HCI_Connection_Request event contains the BD_ADDR of the device requesting the connection. The decision to accept a connection should be taken before the timer Connection_Accept_Timeout expires on the local device.
The Host shall include in the Packet_Type parameter at least one packet type for the transport (SCO or eSCO) specified in the incoming request. The Controller shall ignore any packet types in the Packet_Type parameter for the other transport.
If the ACL link has encryption enabled using AES-CCM then the Host shall not accept a request where the link type is SCO.
The parameter set of the HCI_Accept_Synchronous_Connection_Request command is the same as for the HCI_Setup_Synchronous_Connection command. The Transmit_Bandwidth and Receive_Bandwidth values are required values for the new link and shall be met. The Max_Latency is an upper bound to the acceptable latency for the Link, as defined in Section 7.1.26 Setup_Synchronous_Connection and shall not be exceeded. Voice_Setting specifies the encoding in the same way as in the HCI_Setup_Synchronous_Connection command and shall be met. The Retransmission_Effort parameter shall be set to indicate the required behavior, or to don't care. The Packet_Type parameter is a bit mask specifying the synchronous packet types that are allowed on the link.
If the Link Type of the incoming request is SCO, then the Controller shall ignore the Receive_Bandwidth and Retransmission_Effort parameters.
Note
Note: See Section 7.3.3 for the behavior when the HCI_Connection_Request event is masked or the connection is auto accepted.

7.1.45. Enhanced Setup Synchronous Connection command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Enhanced_Setup_Synchronous_Connection | 0x003D | Connection_Handle, Transmit_Bandwidth, Receive_Bandwidth, Transmit_Coding_Format, Receive_Coding_Format, Transmit_Codec_Frame_Size, Receive_Codec_Frame_Size, Input_Bandwidth, Output_Bandwidth, Input_Coding_Format, Output_Coding_Format, Input_Coded_Data_Size, Output_Coded_Data_Size, Input_PCM_Data_Format, Output_PCM_Data_Format, Input_PCM_Sample_Payload_MSB_Position, Output_PCM_Sample_Payload_MSB_Position, Input_Data_Path, Output_Data_Path, Input_Transport_Unit_Size, Output_Transport_Unit_Size, Max_Latency, Packet_Type, Retransmission_Effort | none |
Description:
The HCI_Enhanced_Setup_Synchronous_Connection command adds a new, or modifies an existing, synchronous logical transport (SCO or eSCO) on a physical link depending on the Connection_Handle parameter specified. If the Connection_Handle refers to an ACL link, then a new synchronous logical transport shall be added. If the Connection_Handle refers to an existing synchronous logical transport (eSCO only), then this link shall be modified. The parameters are specified per connection. This synchronous connection can be used to transfer synchronous voice data or transparent synchronous data. If the ACL link has encryption enabled using AES-CCM and the Controller cannot establish an eSCO transport (e.g. the Host parameters restricting the packet types to SCO packet types), the Controller shall return the error code Connection Rejected Due to Security Reasons (0x0E) and a SCO transport will not be established.
When used to setup a new synchronous logical transport, the Connection_Handle parameter shall specify an ACL connection with which the new synchronous connection shall be associated. The other parameters relate to the negotiation of the link, and may be reconfigured during the lifetime of the link.
The following terms are used to describe the four different audio paths: Transmit, Receive, Input and Output. The Transmit and Receive paths are from the perspective of the local Controller’s radio. The Input and Output paths are from the perspective of the Controller.
The following parameters are used to describe the transmit and receive paths over the air:
The Transmit_Bandwidth and Receive_Bandwidth parameters specify how much bandwidth shall be available for transmitting and for receiving data. The Host shall set the Transmit_Bandwidth and Receive_Bandwidth parameters to be equal or shall set one of them to be zero and the other non-zero.
The Transmit_Coding_Format and Receive_Coding_Format parameters specify the coding format used for transmitted or received data. The Host shall set the Transmit_Coding_Format and Receive_Coding_Formats to be equal. When the Transmit_Coding_Format and Receive_Coding_Format parameters are not equal to CVSD, A-law or µ-law, the Link Manager shall map these to Transparent air mode.
The Transmit_Codec_Frame_Size and Receive_Codec_Frame_Size parameters specify the frame size produced by the codecs in the context of over-the-air coding. The over-the-air packet size should have the following relationship with the codec frame size:
where N is an integer.
The following parameters are used to describe the coding format used prior to encapsulating over the audio data transport path:
The Input_Bandwidth and Output_Bandwidth specify the nominal rate at which the Host or Controller transfers data (for HCI transports this excludes the HCI header). The Host shall either set the Input_Bandwidth and Output_Bandwidth to be equal, or shall set one of them to be zero and the other non-zero.
The Input_Coding_Format and Output_Coding_Format parameters specify the coding format used over the transport. The Host shall set the Input_Coding_Format and Output_Coding_Format to be equal.
The Input_Coded_Data_Size and Output_Coded_Data_Size specify the number of bits in each sample or frame of data. For CVSD, a frame of data shall be 8 bits.
The Input_PCM_Data_Format and Output_PCM_Data_Format parameters specify the data format over the transport for linear samples. They shall be ignored when the data is encoded in any other way.
The Input_PCM_Sample_Payload_MSB_Position and Output_PCM_Sample_Payload_MSB_Position parameters indicate, for linear samples, how many bit positions that the MSB of the sample is away from starting at the MSB of the data. They shall be ignored when the data is encoded in any other way. For example, if Input_Coded_Data_Size =16 and Input_PCM_Sample_Payload_MSB_Position = 3, then each sample is actually only 13 bits, the MSB (which is the sign bit for signed formats) is bit 12 (counting from the LSB at bit 0), and the contents of bits 13, 14, and 15 of each sample shall be ignored.
The following parameters describe the audio data transport path characteristics:
The Input_Data_Path and Output_Data_Path parameters specify the audio data transport path. When set to 0x00, the audio data path shall be over the HCI transport. When set to 0xFF, audio test mode (see Section 7.6.2) is selected (this is only applicable during test mode). When set to 0x01 to 0xFE, the audio data path shall use non-HCI transport data paths (e.g. PCM interface) with logical transport channel numbers. The meanings of these logical transport channel numbers are vendor specific.
The Input_Transport_Unit_Size and Output_Transport_Unit_Size indicate how many bits are in each unit of data delivered by the audio data transport. Except for HCI, the meaning of “unit” depends on the Host transport used and, therefore, is vendor specific (for example, on a PCM transport this should indicate the number of bits transported per sync pulse, and would normally be 8 or 16). The Host shall set the Input_Transport_Unit_Size and Output_Transport_Unit_Size to be equal. For HCI Host transport the Host shall set them to 0.
The following parameters are used by the Link Manager to negotiate the synchronous transport:
The Max_Latency parameter specifies an upper limit to the time in milliseconds between the eSCO (or SCO) instants, plus the size of the retransmission window, plus the length of the reserved synchronous slots for this logical transport.
The Packet_Type parameter is a bitmap specifying which synchronous packet types may be used by the Link Manager in the negotiation of the link parameters. Multiple packet types are specified by bitwise OR of the packet type codes in the table. At least one packet type shall be specified for each negotiation. It is recommended to enable as many packet types as possible. The Host may enable packet types that are not supported by the local Controller.
The Retransmission_Effort parameter specifies the extra resources that are allocated to this connection if a packet may need to be retransmitted. The Retransmission_Effort parameter shall be set to indicate the required behavior, or to “Don’t care”.
The following restrictions shall apply:
Either both the Transmit_Coding_Format and Input_Coding_Format shall be “transparent” or neither shall be. If both are “transparent”, the Transmit_Bandwidth and the Input_Bandwidth shall be the same and the Controller shall not modify the data sent to the remote device.
Either both the Receive_Coding_Format and Output_Coding_Format shall be “transparent” or neither shall be. If both are “transparent”, the Receive_Bandwidth and the Output_Bandwidth shall be the same and the Controller shall not modify the data sent to the Host.
A Connection_Handle for the new synchronous connection will be returned in the HCI_Synchronous_Connection_Complete event if the command is used to set up a new synchronous connection.
When used to modify an existing synchronous logical transport, only the Packet_Type, Retransmission_Effort and Max_Latency parameters may be modified.
Note
Note: The Link Manager may choose any combination of packet types, timing, and retransmission window sizes that satisfy the parameters given. This may be achieved by using more frequent transmissions of smaller packets. The link manager may choose to set up either a SCO or an eSCO connection, if the parameters allow, using the corresponding LMP sequences.
Note
Note: To modify a SCO connection, use the HCI_Change_Connection_Packet_Type command.
If the lower layers cannot achieve the exact transmit and receive bandwidth requested subject to the other parameters, or cannot achieve the transcoding or resampling implied by the parameters, then the link creation or link modification shall be rejected. A synchronous connection may only be created when an ACL connection already exists.
The data at the audio data transport interface shall be treated as a stream of bits. The bits in each unit of data delivered by the transport shall be taken LSB first, and the units shall be taken in the order of delivery. The samples, encoded samples, frames, or other entity to be transcoded for transmission, or that has been transcoded after reception, shall be taken in the order of transmission or reception, with each entity taken LSB first.
For example, if the audio data transport uses 16 bit units and the Input or Output coding format is A-law, each unit represents two samples with the first in the 8 least significant bits and the second in the 8 most significant bits. Similarly, if the audio data transport uses 8 bit units and the Input or Output coding format is linear PCM with a size of 16 bits, the 8 least significant bits of each sample are transmitted first.

Description:
The HCI_Enhanced_Accept_Synchronous_Connection_Request command is used to accept an incoming request for a synchronous connection and to present the local Link Manager with the acceptable parameter values for the synchronous connection. This command shall only be issued after an HCI_Connection_Request event, with link type SCO or eSCO, has occurred. An HCI_Connection_Request event contains the BD_ADDR of the device requesting the connection. The command to accept a connection must be received by the Controller before the timer Connection_Accept_Timeout expires on the local device.
The parameter set of the HCI_Enhanced_Accept_Synchronous_Connection_Request command is the same as for the HCI_Enhanced_Setup_Synchronous_Connection command except for the Connection_Handle in the HCI_Enhanced_Setup_Synchronous_Connection command, which is replaced by the BD_ADDR in the HCI_Enhanced_Accept_Synchronous_Connection_Request command. See Section 7.1.45 for the descriptions of these parameters.
The Host shall include in the Packet_Type parameter at least one packet type for the transport (SCO or eSCO) specified in the incoming request. The Controller shall ignore any packet types in the Packet_Type parameter for the other transport.
If the Link Type of the incoming request is SCO, then the Retransmission_Effort parameter shall be ignored.
Note
Note: See Section 7.3.3 for the behavior when the HCI_Connection_Request event is masked or the connection is auto accepted.
If the ACL link has encryption enabled using AES-CCM then the Host shall not accept a request where the link type is SCO.

Description:
The HCI_Truncated_Page command is used to page the BR/EDR Controller with the specified BD_ADDR and then abort the paging sequence after an ID response has been received. See [Vol 2] Part B, Section 8.3.3 for additional information.
The Page_Scan_Repetition_Mode parameter specifies the Page Scan Repetition mode supported by the remote BR/EDR Controller with the BD_ADDR. This is the most recent version of the information that was acquired either during the inquiry process or from an HCI_Page_Scan_Repetition_Mode_Change event (see Section 7.7.31).
The Clock_Offset parameter is the difference between the local BR/EDR Controller’s own clock and the clock of the remote BR/EDR Controller with BD_ADDR. Only bits 2 to 16 of the difference are used, and they are mapped to this parameter as bits 0 to 14 respectively. A Clock_Offset_Valid_Flag, located in bit 15 of the Clock_Offset parameter, indicates if the Clock Offset is valid or not.

If Enable is set to 0x00, the remaining parameters shall be ignored.
The LT_ADDR indicated in the Set_Connectionless_Peripheral_Broadcast shall be pre-allocated using the HCI_Set_Reserved_LT_ADDR command. If the LT_ADDR has not been reserved, the Unknown Connection Identifier (0x02) error code shall be returned. If the Controller is unable to reserve sufficient bandwidth for the requested activity, the Connection Rejected Due to Limited Resources (0x0D) error code shall be returned.
The LPO_Allowed parameter informs the BR/EDR Controller whether it is allowed to sleep.
The Packet_Type parameter specifies which packet types are allowed. The Host shall either enable BR packet types only, or shall enable EDR and DM1 packet types only.

Description:
The HCI_Set_Connectionless_Peripheral_Broadcast_Receive command controls the reception of Connectionless Peripheral Broadcast packets in the BR/EDR Controller of a Connectionless Peripheral Broadcast Receiver. If the Enable parameter is set to Disabled, the BR/EDR Controller does not attempt to receive Connectionless Peripheral Broadcast packets and the remaining parameters shall be ignored. If the Enable parameter is set to Enabled, the BR/EDR Controller starts attempting to receive Connectionless Peripheral Broadcast packets on the specified LT_ADDR.
The Interval parameter specifies the interval of the Connectionless Peripheral Broadcast to be used by the BR/EDR Controller.
The Skip parameter specifies the number of consecutive Connectionless Peripheral Broadcast instants which the receiver may skip after successfully receiving a Connectionless Peripheral Broadcast packet.
The Packet_Type parameter specifies which packet types are allowed. The Host shall either enable BR packet types only or shall enable EDR and DM1 packet types only.
The AFH_Channel_Map parameter is the AFH channel map used by the Transmitter for the PBD logical link, and is obtained by the Receiver’s Host from the HCI_Synchronization_Train_Received event.

7.2. Link Policy commands
The Link Policy commands provide methods for the Host to affect how the Link Manager manages the piconet. When Link Policy commands are used, the LM still controls how Bluetooth piconets and scatternets are established and maintained, depending on adjustable policy parameters. These policy commands modify the Link Manager behavior that can result in changes to the Link Layer connections with Bluetooth remote devices.
Note
Note: Only one ACL connection can exist between two BR/EDR Controllers, and therefore there can only be one ACL HCI Connection_Handle for each physical Link Layer Connection. The BR/EDR Controller provides policy adjustment mechanisms to provide support for a number of different policies. This capability allows one Bluetooth module to be used to support many different usage models, and the same Bluetooth module can be incorporated in many different types of BR/EDR Controllers.
For the Link Policy commands, the OGF is defined as 0x02.
7.2.1. Hold Mode command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Hold_Mode | 0x0001 | Connection_Handle, Hold_Mode_Max_Interval, Hold_Mode_Min_Interval | none |
Description:
The HCI_Hold_Mode command is used to alter the behavior of the Link Manager, and have it place the ACL Baseband connection associated by the specified Connection_Handle into the Hold mode. The Connection_Handle shall identify an ACL connection and not a SCO or eSCO connection. The Hold_Mode_Max_Interval and Hold_Mode_Min_Interval command parameters specify the length of time the Host wants to put the connection into the Hold mode. The local and remote devices will negotiate the length in the Hold mode. The Hold_Mode_Max_Interval parameter is used to specify the maximum length of the Hold interval for which the Host may actually enter into the Hold mode after negotiation with the remote device. The Hold interval defines the amount of time between when the Hold mode begins and when the Hold mode is completed. The Hold_Mode_Min_Interval parameter is used to specify the minimum length of the Hold interval for which the Host may actually enter into the Hold mode after the negotiation with the remote device. Therefore the Hold_Mode_Min_Interval shall not be greater than the Hold_Mode_Max_Interval. The BR/EDR Controller will return the actual Hold interval in the Interval parameter of the HCI_Mode_Change event, if the command is successful. This command enables the Host to support a low-power policy for itself or several other BR/EDR Controllers, and allows the devices to enter Inquiry Scan, Page Scan, and a number of other possible actions.
Note
Note: If the Host sends data to the BR/EDR Controller with a Connection_Handle corresponding to a connection in Hold mode, the BR/EDR Controller will keep the data in its buffers until either the data can be transmitted (the Hold mode has ended) or a flush, a flush timeout or a disconnection occurs. This is valid even if the Host has not yet been notified of the Hold mode through an HCI_Mode_Change event when it sends the data.
Note
Note: The above is not valid for an HCI ACL Data packet sent from the Host to the BR/EDR Controller on the Central side where the Connection_Handle is a Connection_Handle used for broadcast and the Broadcast_Flag is set to Active Broadcast. The broadcast data will then never be received by Peripherals in Hold mode.
The Hold_Mode_Max_Interval shall be less than the Link Supervision Timeout configuration parameter.
Command parameters:
Connection_Handle: | Size: 2 octets (12 bits meaningful) |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXX | Connection_Handle Range: 0x0000 to 0x0EFF |
Hold_Mode_Max_Interval: | Size: 2 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
N = 0xXXXX | Maximum acceptable number of Baseband slots to wait in Hold mode. Time Length of the Hold = N × 0.625 ms (1 Baseband slot) Range: 0x0002 to 0xFFFE; only even values are valid. Time Range: 1.25 ms to 40.9 s Mandatory Range: 0x0014 to 0x8000 |
Hold_Mode_Min_Interval: | Size: 2 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
N = 0xXXXX | Minimum acceptable number of Baseband slots to wait in Hold mode. Time Length of the Hold = N × 0.625 ms (1 Baseband slot) Range: 0x0002 to 0xFF00; only even values are valid Time Range: 1.25 ms to 40.9 s Mandatory Range: 0x0014 to 0x8000 |
Return parameters:
None.
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the BR/EDR Controller receives the HCI_Hold_Mode command, the BR/EDR Controller shall send the HCI_Command_Status event to the Host. The HCI_Mode_Change event shall occur when the Hold mode has started and the HCI_Mode_Change event shall occur again when the Hold mode has completed for the specified Connection_Handle. The HCI_Mode_Change event signaling the end of the Hold mode is an estimation of the Hold mode ending if the event is for a remote BR/EDR Controller.
7.2.2. Sniff Mode command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Sniff_Mode | 0x0003 | Connection_Handle, Sniff_Max_Interval, Sniff_Min_Interval, Sniff_Attempt, Sniff_Timeout | none |
Description:
The HCI_Sniff_Mode command is used to alter the behavior of the Link Manager and have it place the ACL Baseband connection associated with the specified Connection_Handle into Sniff mode. The Connection_Handle command parameter is used to identify which ACL link connection is to be placed in Sniff mode and shall identify an ACL connection, not a SCO or eSCO, connection. The Sniff_Max_Interval and Sniff_Min_Interval command parameters are used to specify the requested acceptable maximum and minimum periods in Sniff mode. The Sniff_Min_Interval shall not be greater than the Sniff_Max_Interval. The sniff interval defines the amount of time between each consecutive sniff period. The BR/EDR Controller will return the actual sniff interval in the Interval parameter of the HCI_Mode_Change event, if the command is successful. For a description of the meaning of the Sniff_Attempt and Sniff_Timeout parameters, see [Vol 2] Part B, Section 8.7. Sniff_Attempt is there called Nsniff attempt and Sniff_Timeout is called Nsniff timeout. This command enables the Host to support a low-power policy for itself or several other BR/EDR Controllers, and allows the devices to enter Inquiry Scan, Page Scan, and a number of other possible actions.
Note
Note: If the Host sends data to the BR/EDR Controller with a Connection_Handle corresponding to a connection in Sniff mode, the BR/EDR Controller will keep the data in its buffers until either the data can be transmitted or a flush, a flush timeout or a disconnection occurs. This is valid even if the Host has not yet been notified of Sniff mode through an HCI_Mode_Change event when it sends the data.
Note
Note: It is possible for the Central to transmit data to a Peripheral without exiting Sniff mode (see description in [Vol 2] Part B, Section 8.7).
Note
Note: The above is not valid for an HCI ACL Data packet sent from the Host to the BR/EDR Controller on the Central side where the Connection_Handle is a Connection_Handle used for broadcast and the Broadcast_Flag is set to Active Broadcast. In that case, the broadcast data will only be received by a Peripheral in Sniff mode if that Peripheral happens to listen to the Central when the broadcast is made.
The Sniff_Max_Interval shall be less than the Link Supervision Timeout configuration parameter.
Command parameters:
Connection_Handle: | Size: 2 octets (12 bits meaningful) |

Return parameters:
None.
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the BR/EDR Controller receives the HCI_Sniff_Mode command, the BR/EDR Controller shall send the HCI_Command_Status event to the Host. The HCI_Mode_Change event shall occur when Sniff mode has started for the specified Connection_Handle.
7.2.3. Exit Sniff Mode command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Exit_Sniff_Mode | 0x0004 | Connection_Handle | none |
Description:
The HCI_Exit_Sniff_Mode command is used to end Sniff mode for a Connection_Handle, which is currently in Sniff mode. The Connection_Handle shall identify an ACL connection and not a SCO or eSCO connection. The Link Manager will determine and issue the appropriate LMP commands to remove Sniff mode for the associated Connection_Handle.
Command parameters:
Connection_Handle: | Size: 2 octets (12 bits meaningful) |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXX | Connection_Handle Range: 0x0000 to 0x0EFF |
Return parameters:
None.
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When BR/EDR Controller receives the HCI_Exit_Sniff_Mode command, the BR/EDR Controller shall send the HCI_Command_Status event to the Host. The HCI_Mode_Change event shall occur when Sniff mode has ended for the specified Connection_Handle.

Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_QoS_Setup | 0x0007 | Connection_Handle, Unused, Service_Type, Token_Rate, Peak_Bandwidth, Latency, Delay_Variation | none |
Description:
The HCI_QoS_Setup command is used to specify Quality of Service parameters for a Connection_Handle. The Connection_Handle shall be a Connection_Handle for an ACL connection. These QoS parameter are the same parameters as L2CAP QoS. For more detail see [Vol 3] Part A, Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol Specification. This allows the Link Manager to have all of the information about what the Host is requesting for each connection. The LM will determine if the QoS parameters can be met. BR/EDR Controllers that are both Peripherals and Centrals can use this command. When a device is a Peripheral, this command will trigger an LMP request to the Central to provide the Peripheral with the specified QoS as determined by the LM. When a device is a Central, this command is used to request a Peripheral to accept the specified QoS as determined by the LM of the Central. The Connection_Handle command parameter is used to identify for which connection the QoS request is requested.
The Unused parameter is reserved for future use.
Command parameters:
Connection_Handle: | Size: 2 octets (12 bits meaningful) |
Value | Parameter Description |

Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the BR/EDR Controller receives the HCI_QoS_Setup command, the BR/EDR Controller shall send the HCI_Command_Status event to the Host. When the Link Manager has completed the LMP messages to establish the requested QoS parameters, the BR/EDR Controller shall send an HCI_QoS_Setup_Complete event to the Host, and the event may also be generated on the remote side if there was LMP negotiation. The values of the parameters of the HCI_QoS_Setup_Complete event may, however, be different on the initiating and the remote side. The HCI_QoS_Setup_Complete event returned by the BR/EDR Controller on the local side contains the status of this command, and returned QoS parameters describing the supported QoS for the connection.
Note
Note: If the Link Manager performs an LMP transaction that involves the flow parameter values on the remote side, the remote Controller can send an HCI_Flow_Specification_Complete event or HCI_QoS_Setup_Complete event to the remote Host.

Description:
The HCI_Flow_Specification command is used to specify the flow parameters for the traffic carried over the ACL connection identified by the Connection_Handle. The Connection_Handle shall be a Connection_Handle for an ACL connection. The Connection_Handle command parameter is used to identify for which connection the Flow Specification is requested. The flow parameters refer to the outgoing or incoming traffic of the ACL link, as indicated by the Flow_Direction field. The HCI_Flow_Specification command allows the Link Manager to have the parameters of the outgoing as well as the incoming flow for the ACL connection. The flow parameters are defined in the L2CAP specification [Vol 3] Part A, Section 5.3, Quality of Service (QoS) option. The Link Manager will determine if the flow parameters can be supported. BR/EDR Controllers that are both Central and Peripheral can use this command.

Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the Controller receives the HCI_Flow_Specification command, the BR/EDR Controller shall send the HCI_Command_Status event to the Host. When the Link Manager has determined if the Flow specification can be supported, the BR/EDR Controller on the local BR/EDR Controller shall send an HCI_Flow_Specification_Complete event to the Host. The HCI_Flow_Specification_Complete event returned by the Controller on the local side contains the status of this command, and returned Flow parameters describing the supported QoS for the ACL connection.
Note
Note: If the Link Manager performs an LMP transaction that involves the flow parameter values on the remote side, the remote Controller can send an HCI_Flow_Specification_Complete event or HCI_QoS_Setup_Complete event to the remote Host.
7.2.14. Sniff Subrating command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Sniff_Subrating | 0x0011 | Connection_Handle, Max_Latency, Min_Remote_Timeout, Min_Local_Timeout | Status, Connection_Handle |
Description:
The HCI_Sniff_Subrating command specifies the parameters for sniff subrating for a given link. The interval shall be determined from the sniff interval and the maximum subrate latency parameters from the command. The link may have smaller subrates and therefore lower latencies and longer timeouts than those specified. When the sniff subrate has been exchanged an HCI_Sniff_Subrating event shall be generated. If this command is used on a link in Sniff mode this shall cause sniff subrating to be negotiated at the Link Manager, otherwise sniff subrating shall be negotiated only after the device has entered Sniff mode.
The Connection_Handle shall be the primary Connection_Handle between the two devices.
The Maximum Latency parameter shall define the maximum allowed sniff subrate of the remote device.
If the Host does not write the sniff subrating parameters prior to sniff subrating being initiated by the Link Manager the default values shall be used.
Command parameters:
Connection_Handle: | Size: 2 octets (12 bits meaningful) |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXX | Connection_Handle Range: 0x0000 to 0x0EFF |

An HCI_Sniff_Subrating event shall occur when the sniff subrating has been negotiated for the specified Connection_Handle.
7.3. Controller & Baseband commands
The Controller & Baseband commands provide access and control to various capabilities of the Bluetooth hardware. These parameters provide control of BR/EDR Controllers and of the capabilities of the Link Manager and Baseband in the BR/EDR Controller and the Link Layer in an LE Controller. The Host can use these commands to modify the behavior of the local Controller.
For the HCI Control and Baseband commands, the OGF is defined as 0x03.
7.3.1. Set Event Mask command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Set_Event_Mask | 0x0001 | Event_Mask | Status |
Description:
The HCI_Set_Event_Mask command is used to control which events are generated by the HCI for the Host. If the bit in the Event_Mask is set to a one, then the event associated with that bit will be enabled. For an LE Controller, the “LE Meta event” bit in the event_Mask shall enable or disable all LE events in the LE Meta event (see Section 7.7.65). The event mask allows the Host to control how much it is interrupted.
The Controller shall ignore those bits which are reserved for future use or represent events which it does not support. If the Host sets any of these bits to 1, the Controller shall act as if they were set to 0.

7.3.2. Reset command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Reset | 0x0003 | none | Status |
Description:
The HCI_Reset command will reset the Controller and the Link Manager on the BR/EDR Controller or the Link Layer on an LE Controller. If the Controller supports both BR/EDR and LE then the HCI_Reset command shall reset the Link Manager, Baseband and Link Layer. The HCI_Reset command shall not affect the used HCI transport layer since the HCI transport layers may have reset mechanisms of their own. After the reset is completed, the current operational state will be lost, the Controller will enter standby mode and the Controller will automatically revert to the default values for the parameters for which default values are defined in the specification.
Note
Note: The HCI_Reset command will not necessarily perform a hardware reset. This is implementation defined.
The Host shall not send additional HCI commands before the HCI_Command_Complete event related to the HCI_Reset command has been received.
Command parameters:
None.
Return parameters:
Status: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x00 | HCI_Reset command succeeded, was received and will be executed. |
0x01 to 0xFF | HCI_Reset command failed. See [Vol 1] Part F, Controller Error Codes for a list of error codes and descriptions. |
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the reset has been performed, an HCI_Command_Complete event shall be generated.
7.3.3. Set Event Filter command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Set_Event_Filter | 0x0005 | Filter_Type, Filter_Condition_Type, Condition | Status |
Description:
The HCI_Set_Event_Filter command is used by the Host to specify different event filters. The Host may issue this command multiple times to request various conditions for the same type of event filter and for different types of event filters. The event filters are used by the Host to specify items of interest, which allow the BR/EDR Controller to send only events which interest the Host. Only some of the events have event filters. By default (before this command has been issued after power-on or Reset) no filters are set, and the Auto_Accept_Flag is off (incoming connections are not automatically accepted). An event filter is added each time this command is sent from the Host and the Filter_Condition_Type is not equal to 0x00. (The old event filters will not be overwritten). To clear all event filters, the Filter_Type = 0x00 is used. The Auto_Accept_Flag will then be set to off. To clear event filters for only a certain Filter_Type, the Filter_Condition_Type = 0x00 is used.
The Inquiry Result filter allows the BR/EDR Controller to filter out HCI_Inquiry_Result, HCI_Inquiry_Result_with_RSSI, or HCI_Extended_Inquiry_Result events. The Inquiry Result filter allows the Host to specify that the BR/EDR Controller only sends Inquiry Results to the Host if the report meets one of the specified conditions set by the Host. For the Inquiry Result filter, the Host can specify one or more of the following Filter Condition Types:
Return responses from all devices during the Inquiry process
A device with a specific Class of Device responded to the Inquiry process
A device with a specific BD_ADDR responded to the Inquiry process
The Inquiry Result filter is used in conjunction with the HCI_Inquiry and HCI_Periodic_Inquiry_Mode commands.
The Connection Setup filter allows the Host to specify that the Controller only sends an HCI_Connection_Complete, HCI_Synchronous_Connection_Complete, or HCI_Connection_Request event to the Host if the event meets one of the specified conditions set by the Host. For the Connection Setup filter, the Host can specify one or more of the following Filter Condition Types:
Allow Connections from all devices
Allow Connections from a device with a specific Class of Device
Allow Connections from a device with a specific BD_ADDR
For each of these conditions, an Auto_Accept_Flag parameter allows the Host to specify what action should be done when the condition is met. The Auto_Accept_Flag allows the Host to specify if the incoming connection should be auto accepted (in which case the BR/EDR Controller will send a HCI_Connection_Complete event to the Host when an ACL or SCO connection is completed or an HCI_Synchronous_Connection_Complete event when an eSCO connection is completed) or if the Host should make the decision (in which case the BR/EDR Controller will send the HCI_Connection_Request event to the Host, to elicit a decision on the connection). If the Auto_Accept_Flag is off and the Host has masked the HCI_Connection_Request event, the Controller shall reject the connection attempt.
Note
Note: Auto-accept does not override any requirement to reject a connection in this specification, such as the requirement in [Vol 2] Part C, Section 4.5.1 to reject a SCO connection when AES-CCM encryption is in use.
If a synchronous connection is auto-accepted, then the default parameter settings of the Accept_Synchronous_Connection_Request command (see Section 7.1.27) should be used by the local Link Manager when negotiating the SCO or eSCO link parameters.
The Connection Setup filter is used in conjunction with the HCI_Read/Write_Scan_Enable commands. If the local device is in the process of a page scan, and is paged by another device which meets one on the conditions set by the Host, and the Auto_Accept_Flag is off for this device, then an HCI_Connection_Request event will be sent to the Host by the BR/EDR Controller. An HCI_Connection_Complete event will be sent later on after the Host has responded to the incoming connection attempt. In this same example, if the Auto_Accept_Flag is on, then an HCI_Connection_Complete event will be sent to the Host by the Controller. (No HCI_Connection_Request event will be sent in that case.)
The BR/EDR Controller will store these filters in volatile memory until the Host clears the event filters using the HCI_Set_Event_Filter command or until the HCI_Reset command is issued. The number of event filters the BR/EDR Controller can store is implementation dependent. If the Host tries to set more filters than the BR/EDR Controller can store, the BR/EDR Controller will return the error code Memory Capacity Exceeded (0x07) and the filter will not be installed.
Note
Note: The Clear All Filters has no Filter Condition Types or Conditions.
Note
Note: In the condition that a connection is auto accepted, an HCI_Link_Key_Request event and possibly also an HCI_PIN_Code_Request event and an HCI_Link_Key_Notification event could be sent to the Host by the Controller before the HCI_Connection_Complete event is sent.
If there is a contradiction between event filters, the latest set event filter will override older ones. An example is an incoming connection attempt where more than one Connection Setup filter matches the incoming connection attempt, but the Auto-Accept_Flag has different values in the different filters.

Filter_Type: | Size: 1 octet |

7.3.4. Flush command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Flush | 0x0008 | Connection_Handle | Status, Connection_Handle |
Description:
The HCI_Flush command is used to discard all data that is currently pending for transmission in the Controller for the specified Connection_Handle, even if there currently are chunks of data that belong to more than one L2CAP packet in the Controller. Both automatically-flushable and non-automatically-flushable packets shall be discarded (see Section 5.4.2). After this, all data that is sent to the Controller for the same Connection_Handle will be discarded by the Controller until an HCI ACL Data packet with one of the start Packet_Boundary_Flag values (0x00 or 0x02) is received. When this happens, a new transmission attempt can be made.
This command, when used on a BR/EDR Controller, will allow higher-level software to control how long the Baseband should try to retransmit a Baseband packet for a Connection_Handle before all data that is currently pending for transmission in the Controller should be flushed.
Note: The HCI_Flush command is used for ACL connections only. In addition to the HCI_Flush command, the automatic flush timers (see Section 7.3.29) can be used to automatically flush an automatically-flushable L2CAP packet that is currently being transmitted after the specified flush timer has expired.

Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Read_Stored_Link_Key | 0x000D | BD_ADDR, Read_All | Status, Max_Num_Keys, Num_Keys_Read |
Description:
The HCI_Read_Stored_Link_Key command provides the ability to read whether one or more link keys are stored in the BR/EDR Controller. The BR/EDR Controller can store a limited number of link keys for other BR/EDR Controllers. Link keys are shared between two BR/EDR Controllers, and are used for all security transactions between the two devices. The HCI_Read_Stored_Link_Key command shall not return the link key’s value. A Host device may have additional storage capabilities, which can be used to save additional link keys to be reloaded to the BR/EDR Controller when needed. The Read_All parameter is used to indicate if all of the stored Link Keys should be returned. If Read_All indicates that all Link Keys are to be returned, then the BD_ADDR command parameter shall be ignored. The BD_ADDR command parameter is used to identify which link key to read. The stored Link Keys are returned by one or more HCI_Return_Link_Keys events. See Section 6.14.
Command parameters:
BD_ADDR: | Size: 6 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXXXXXXXXXX | BD_ADDR for the stored link key to be read. |
Read_All: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x00 | Return Link Key for specified BD_ADDR. |
0x01 | Return all stored Link Keys. |
All other values | Reserved for future use. |
Return parameters:

When there are link keys stored, the number of link keys returned in each HCI_Return_Link_Keys event is implementation specific. When the HCI_Read_Stored_Link_Key command has completed an HCI_Command_Complete event shall be generated.
7.3.9. Write Stored Link Key command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Write_Stored_Link_Key | 0x0011 | Num_Keys_To_Write, BD_ADDR[i], Link_Key[i] | Status, Num_Keys_Written |
Description:
The HCI_Write_Stored_Link_Key command provides the ability to write one or more link keys to be stored in the BR/EDR Controller. The BR/EDR Controller can store a limited number of link keys for other BR/EDR Controllers. If no additional space is available in the BR/EDR Controller then no additional link keys will be stored. If space is limited and if all the link keys to be stored will not fit in the limited space, then the order of the list of link keys without any error will determine which link keys are stored. Link keys at the beginning of the list will be stored first. The Num_Keys_Written parameter will return the number of link keys that were successfully stored. If no additional space is available, then the Host must delete one or more stored link keys before any additional link keys are stored. The link key replacement algorithm is implemented by the Host and not the BR/EDR Controller. Link keys are shared between two BR/EDR Controllers and are used for all security transactions between the two devices. A Host device may have additional storage capabilities, which can be used to save additional link keys to be reloaded to the BR/EDR Controller when needed. See Section 6.14.
Note
Note: Link Keys are only stored by issuing this command.
A Host in Secure Connections Only Mode should not store link keys in the Controller.

7.3.39. Host Buffer Size command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|

Description:
The HCI_Host_Buffer_Size command is used by the Host to notify the Controller about the maximum size of the data portion of HCI ACL and Synchronous Data packets sent from the Controller to the Host. The Controller shall segment the data to be transmitted from the Controller to the Host according to these sizes, so that the HCI Data packets will contain data with up to these sizes. The HCI_Host_Buffer_Size command also notifies the Controller about the total number of HCI ACL and Synchronous Data packets that can be stored in the data buffers of the Host. If flow control from the Controller to the Host is turned off, and the HCI_Host_Buffer_Size command has not been issued by the Host, this means that the Controller will send HCI Data packets to the Host with any lengths the Controller wants to use, and it is assumed that the data buffer sizes of the Host are unlimited. If flow control from the Controller to the Host is turned on, the HCI_Host_Buffer_Size command shall after a power-on or a reset always be sent by the Host before the first HCI_Host_Number_Of_Completed_Packets command is sent.
The Set Controller To Host Flow Control command is used to turn flow control on or off. The Host_ACL_Data_Packet_Length command parameter will be used to determine the size of the L2CAP segments contained in ACL Data packets, which are transferred from the Controller to the Host. The Host_Synchronous_Data_Packet_Length command parameter is used to determine the maximum size of HCI Synchronous Data packets. Both the Host and the Controller shall support command and event packets, where the data portion (excluding header) contained in the packets is 255 octets in size.
The Host_Total_Num_ACL_Data_Packets command parameter contains the total number of HCI ACL Data packets that can be stored in the data buffers of the Host. The Controller will determine how the buffers are to be divided between different Connection_Handles. The Host_Total_Num_Synchronous_Data_Packets command parameter gives the same information for HCI Synchronous Data packets. If the Host does not support SCO or eSCO over HCI, then it shall set Host_Total_Num_Synchronous_Data_Packets to zero, in which case the Controller shall ignore the Host_Synchronous_Data_Packet_Length parameter.
Note
Note: The Host_ACL_Data_Packet_Length and Host_Synchronous_Data_Packet_Length command parameters do not include the length of the HCI ACL Data packet header or the HCI Synchronous Data packet header respectively.
Command parameters:
Host_ACL_Data_Packet_Length: | Size: 2 octets |

7.3.40. Host Number Of Completed Packets command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Host_Number_Of_Completed_Packets | 0x0035 | Num_Handles, Connection_Handle[i], Host_Num_Completed_Packets[i] | none |
Description:
The HCI_Host_Number_Of_Completed_Packets command is used by the Host to indicate to the Controller the number of HCI Data packets that have been completed for each Connection_Handle since the previous HCI_Host_Number_Of_Completed_Packets command was sent to the Controller. This means that the corresponding buffer space has been freed in the Host and is available for new packets to be sent. Based on this information, and the Host_Total_Num_ACL_Data_Packets and Host_Total_Num_Synchronous_Data_Packets command parameters of the HCI_Host_Buffer_Size command, the Controller can determine for which Connection_Handles the following HCI Data packets should be sent to the Host. When the Host has completed one or more HCI Data packet(s) it shall send an HCI_Host_Number_Of_Completed_Packets command to the Controller, until it finally reports that all pending HCI Data packets have been completed. The frequency at which this command is sent is manufacturer specific.
The Set Controller To Host Flow Control command is used to turn flow control on or off. If flow control from the Controller to the Host is turned on, the HCI_Host_Buffer_Size command shall always be sent by the Host after a power-on or a reset before the first HCI_Host_Number_Of_Completed_Packets command is sent.
The HCI_Host_Number_Of_Completed_Packets command may be sent at any time by the Host when there is at least one connection, or if the Controller is in local loopback mode, independent of other commands. If the Host issues this command when neither of these cases applies, the Controller shall ignore it.
Command parameters:
Num_Handles: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXX | The number of Connection_Handles and Host_Num_Completed_Packets parameters pairs contained in this command. Range: 0 to 255 |

Return parameters:
None.
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
Normally, no event is generated after the HCI_Host_Number_Of_Completed_Packets command has completed. However, if the HCI_Host_Number_Of_Completed_Packets command contains one or more invalid parameters, the Controller shall return an HCI_Command_Complete event containing the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12). The normal flow control for commands is not used for this command.

Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Write_AFH_Channel_Assessment_Mode | 0x0049 | AFH_Channel_Assessment_Mode | Status |
Description:
The HCI_Write_AFH_Channel_Assessment_Mode command writes the value for the AFH_Channel_Assessment_Mode parameter. The AFH_Channel_Assessment_Mode parameter controls whether the Controller’s channel assessment scheme is enabled or disabled.
Disabling channel assessment forces all channels to be unknown in the local classification for the BR/EDR physical transport, but does not affect the AFH_reporting_mode or support for the HCI_Set_AFH_Host_Channel_Classification command. A BR/EDR Peripheral in the AFH_reporting_enabled state shall continue to send LMP channel classification messages for any changes to the channel classification caused by either this command (altering the AFH_Channel_Assessment_Mode) or HCI_Set_AFH_Host_Channel_Classification command (providing a new channel classification from the Host).
Disabling channel assessment also forces all channels to be unknown in the local classification for the LE physical transport. If channel classification reporting is enabled by the Central, then the following rules apply to the Peripheral:
Irrespective of whether channel assessment is enabled or disabled by the Host, the Controller shall continue to send LL_CHANNEL_STATUS_IND PDUs for any changes to the channel classification caused by the HCI_LE_Set_Host_Channel_Classification command.
If channel assessment has been enabled by the Host, the Controller shall send LL_CHANNEL_STATUS_IND PDUs for any changes to the channel classification caused by the HCI_LE_Set_Host_Channel_Classification command and for any changes reported by the channel assessment scheme.
The Controller shall send an LL_CHANNEL_STATUS_IND PDU whenever the channel classification changes because this command changes the channel assessment mode.
If the AFH_Channel_Assessment_Mode parameter is enabled and the Controller does not support a channel assessment scheme, other than via the HCI_Set_AFH_Host_Channel_Classification command (for BR/EDR) or via the HCI_LE_Set_Host_Channel_Classification command (for LE), then a Status parameter of ‘Channel Assessment Not Supported’ should be returned. See Part F, Controller Error Codes for a list of error codes and descriptions.
If the Controller supports a channel assessment scheme then the default AFH_Channel_Assessment_Mode is enabled, otherwise the default is disabled.
Command parameters:
AFH_Channel_Assessment_Mode: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|

The HCI_Enhanced_Flush command is used to discard all L2CAP packets identified by Packet_Type that are currently pending for transmission in the Controller for the specified Handle, even if there currently are chunks of data that belong to more than one L2CAP packet of the same type in the Controller. The only packet type defined is automatically-flushable. Packets not identified by Packet_Type will not be flushed and will be processed normally by the Controller.
After flushing the packets, all data that is sent to the BR/EDR Controller for the same Handle and packet type shall be discarded by the Controller until an HCI ACL Data packet with the start Packet_Boundary_Flag (0x00 or 0x02) is received. This command allows higher-level software to control how long the Baseband should try to retransmit a Baseband packet of a specific type for a Handle before all data of that type currently pending for transmission in the Controller should be flushed. The HCI_Enhanced_Flush command shall be used for ACL-U connections only. On the BR/EDR Controller, the HCI_Flush command can be used to flush all packets (see Section 7.3.4). In addition to the HCI_Enhanced_Flush and HCI_Flush commands, the automatic flush timers (see Section 7.3.29) can be used to automatically flush an automatically-flushable L2CAP packet that is currently being transmitted after the specified flush timer has expired.
Command parameters:
Handle: | Size: 2 octets (12 bits meaningful) |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXX | Handle to be used to identify a connection. Range: 0x0000 to 0x0EFF |

Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x00 | Automatically flushable only. |
All other values | Reserved for future use. |
Return parameters:
None.
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the Controller receives the HCI_Enhanced_Flush command, the Controller shall send the HCI_Command_Status event to the Host. In addition, when all the packets identified by Packet_Type have been flushed for the specified Handle, the Controller shall send an HCI_Enhanced_Flush_Complete event to the Host. The Controller may send the HCI_Enhanced_Flush_Complete event immediately after flushing all the packets of type Packet_Type for the specified Handle, or it may wait until all packets for the specified Handle, independent of Packet_Type, buffered in the Controller at the time of the receipt of the HCI_Enhanced_Flush command, have been either flushed or transmitted.

HCI_Set_Event_Mask_Page_2 | 0x0063 | Event_Mask_Page_2 | Status |
Description:
The HCI_Set_Event_Mask_Page_2 command is used to control which events are generated by the HCI for the Host. The Event_Mask_Page_2 is a logical extension to the Event_Mask parameter of the HCI_Set_Event_Mask command. If the bit in the Event_Mask_Page_2 is set to a one, then the event associated with that bit shall be enabled. The event mask allows the Host to control how much it is interrupted.
The Controller shall ignore those bits which are reserved for future use or represent events which it does not support. If the Host sets any of these bits to 1, the Controller shall act as if they were set to 0.

Description:
The HCI_Set_External_Frame_Configuration command allows the Host to specify a frame configuration for an external collocated MWS system. This frame configuration persists until overwritten with a subsequent Set_External_Frame_Configuration or until the Controller is reset.
This command can be used to allow the Controller to align the piconet clock with an external frame structure.
When the external frame structure is a multiple of 1.25 ms, it can be aligned in a stable manner with the piconet clock.
The start of the external frame structure is defined as an offset from an external frame synchronization signal. This offset is defined by the MWS_Frame_Sync_Assert_Offset parameter. The offset is represented as the time (in microseconds) from the start of the next MWS frame to the FRAME_SYNC signal.
An external frame consists of downlink periods, uplink periods and guard periods. Downlink means the collocated MWS system is receiving, thus may be interfered with by Bluetooth transmissions. Uplink means the collocated MWS system is transmitting, thus may cause interference to Bluetooth receptions. A guard period may be used by the MWS system to compensate for propagation delays; in this case it should be regarded as split equally between downlink and uplink durations.
The number of specified periods is given by MWS_Num_Periods.
The duration in microseconds of each period is defined by the Period_Duration[i] parameters.
The Period_Type[i] parameter indicates if the specified period is an uplink, downlink, bi-directional or guard period.
The sum of all Period_Duration[i] parameters shall be equal to the MWS_Frame_Duration parameter.
Upon reception of an HCI_Set_External_Frame_Configuration command and a FRAME_SYNC signal from the MWS Coexistence Logical Interface, the Controller may compute the type 0 submap for local SAM slot maps. The Controller may then initiate the SAM set type 0 and SAM define map LMP sequences with the remote device.

7.3.85. Set MWS_PATTERN Configuration command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Set_MWS_PATTERN_Configuration | 0x0073 | MWS_Pattern_Index, MWS_Pattern_Num_Intervals, MWS_Pattern_Interval_Duration[i], MWS_Pattern_Interval_Type[i] | Status |
Description:
The HCI_Set_MWS_PATTERN_Configuration command is used by the Host to specify, in conjunction with the HCI_Set_External_Frame_Configuration command, local MWS_PATTERN parameters for an external collocated system.
An MWS_PATTERN configuration shall persist until overwritten by a subsequent Set_MWS_PATTERN_Configuration. All MWS_PATTERN configurations are deleted when an HCI_Set_External_Frame_Configuration command is received or when the Controller is reset.
The sum of the MWS_Pattern_Interval_Duration parameters shall be an integer multiple of the length of a frame as defined by the most recent HCI_Set_External_Frame_Configuration command.
If any interval with type 4 either has an MWS_Pattern_Interval_Duration greater than the length of a frame or the sum of the MWS_Pattern_Interval_Duration parameters for the previous intervals is not a multiple of the length of the frame, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
Upon reception of an HCI_Set_MWS_PATTERN_Configuration command, the Controller may compute the local SAM slot map with SAM_Index equal to MWS_Pattern_Index. If the SAM slot map does not exist, it should be created; if the SAM slot map already exists, its parameters should be replaced. The Controller may then initiate the SAM define map LMP sequence with the remote device.
Upon reception of an MWS_PATTERN signal, with a value other than 3, from the MWS Coexistence Logical Interface (see [Vol 7] Part A), the Controller should check the MWS_PATTERN value against the SAM_Index of those SAM slot maps that have been configured by previous HCI_Set_MWS_PATTERN_Configuration commands. It should then take the following course of action:
If MWS_PATTERN does not match any configured SAM slot map, it should take no further action.
If MWS_PATTERN matches an available SAM slot map that is already active or is being activated, it should take no further action (i.e. let the current or pending active SAM slot map continue).
If MWS_PATTERN matches an available SAM slot map that is neither active nor is being activated, then:
If the SAM slot map has been activated previously using the LMP_SAM_SET_TYPE0 (if relevant) and LMP_SAM_DEFINE_MAP LMP sequences, the Controller should start the SAM switch LMP sequence to activate the matched SAM slot map;
Otherwise the Controller should start or complete the SAM set type 0 (if relevant), SAM define map, and SAM switch LMP sequences to activate the matched SAM slot map.

7.3.100. Set Ecosystem Base Interval command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Set_Ecosystem_Base_Interval | 0x0082 | Interval | Status |
Description:
The HCI_Set_Ecosystem_Base_Interval command provides a hint to the Controller specifying the base communication interval the Controller can expect current and future communications to use. The Controller can assume that future activities will use an interval that is a multiple of the hint and may use that assumption when scheduling future activities. For example, if the Host expects to set up an LE ACL with a connection interval of 15 ms and a periodic advertisement with an interval of 40 ms, it would issue this command with Interval set to 5 ms. If the Host gives a range of possible intervals for an activity, the Controller could use a value in that range that is a multiple of the hint; e.g., if it gives the range 37.5 to 42.5 ms, the Controller could use 40 ms in preference to any other value. Communications being scheduled can include, but are not limited to, (e)SCO connections, BR/EDR ACL connections in Sniff mode, LE ACL connections, periodic advertisements, CISes, and BISes.
The Host may use an interval of zero to indicate that the most recently provided hint is no longer valid.

HCI_Read_Buffer_Size | 0x0005 | none | Status, ACL_Data_Packet_Length, Synchronous_Data_Packet_Length, Total_Num_ACL_Data_Packets, Total_Num_Synchronous_Data_Packets |
Description:
The HCI_Read_Buffer_Size command is used to read the maximum size of the data portion of HCI ACL and Synchronous Data packets sent from the Host to the Controller. The Host will segment the data to be transmitted from the Host to the Controller according to these sizes, so that the HCI Data packets will contain data with up to these sizes. The HCI_Read_Buffer_Size command also returns the total number of HCI ACL and Synchronous Data packets that can be stored in the data buffers of the Controller. The HCI_Read_Buffer_Size command shall be issued by the Host before it sends any data to the Controller.
For a device supporting BR/EDR and LE, if the HCI_LE_Read_Buffer_Size command returned zero for the number of buffers, then buffers returned by Read_Buffer_Size are shared between BR/EDR and LE.
The ACL_Data_Packet_Length return parameter will be used to determine the size of the L2CAP segments contained in ACL Data packets, which are transferred from the Host to the Controller to be broken up into Baseband packets by the Link Manager. The Synchronous_Data_Packet_Length return parameter is used to determine the maximum size of HCI Synchronous Data packets. The Total_Num_ACL_Data_Packets return parameter contains the total number of HCI ACL Data packets that can be stored in the data buffers of the Controller. The Host will determine how the buffers are to be divided between different Connection_Handles. The Total_Num_Synchronous_Data_Packets return parameter gives the same information but for HCI Synchronous Data packets. If the Controller does not support SCO or eSCO over HCI, then it shall set Total_Num_Synchronous_Data_Packets to zero, in which case the Host shall ignore the Synchronous_Data_Packet_Length parameter.
The ACL_Data_Packet_Length and Synchronous_Data_Packet_Length return parameters do not include the length of the HCI ACL Data packet header or the HCI Synchronous Data packet header respectively.
Command parameters:
None.

7.6. Testing commands
The Testing commands are used to provide the ability to test various functional capabilities of the Bluetooth hardware. These commands provide the ability to arrange various conditions for testing.
For the Testing commands, the OGF is defined as 0x06.
7.6.1. Read Loopback Mode command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|

Description:
This command reads the value for the setting of the Controller’s Loopback mode. The setting of the Loopback_Mode parameter shall determine the path of information. In Non-testing Mode operation, the Loopback_Mode parameter is set to Non-testing Mode and the path of the information is as specified by the Bluetooth specifications. In Local Loopback Mode, every data packet (ACL, SCO and eSCO) and command packet that is sent from the Host to the Controller is sent back with no modifications by the Controller, as shown in Figure 7.1. For details of loopback modes see Section 7.6.2.
Command parameters:
None.
Return parameters:
Status: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x00 | HCI_Read_Loopback_Mode command succeeded. |

Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the HCI_Read_Loopback_Mode command has completed, an HCI_Command_Complete event shall be generated.
7.6.2. Write Loopback Mode command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Write_Loopback_Mode | 0x0002 | Loopback_Mode | Status |
Description:
This command writes the value for the setting of the BR/EDR Controller’s Loopback mode. The setting of the Loopback_Mode parameter shall determine the path of information. In Non-testing mode operation, the Loopback_Mode parameter is set to Non-testing mode and the path of the information as specified by the Bluetooth specifications. In Local Loopback mode, every data packet (ACL, SCO and eSCO) and command packet that is sent from the Host to the BR/EDR Controller is sent back with no modifications by the BR/EDR Controller, as shown in Figure 7.1.
When the BR/EDR Controller enters Local Loopback mode, it shall respond with one to four Connection_Handles, one for an ACL connection and zero to three for synchronous connections. The Host should use these Connection_Handles when sending data in Local Loopback mode. The number of Connection_Handles returned for synchronous connections (between zero and three) is implementation specific. When in Local Loopback mode, the BR/EDR Controller loops back commands and data to the Host. The HCI_Loopback_Command event is used to loop back commands that the Host sends to the Controller.
There are some commands that are not looped back in Local Loopback mode: HCI_Reset, HCI_Set_Controller_To_Host_Flow_Control, HCI_Host_Buffer_Size, HCI_Host_Number_Of_Completed_Packets, HCI_Read_Buffer_Size, HCI_Read_Loopback_Mode and HCI_Write_Loopback_Mode. These commands should be executed in the way they are normally executed. The commands HCI_Reset and HCI_Write_Loopback_Mode can be used to exit Local Loopback mode.
If HCI_Write_Loopback_Mode is used to exit Local Loopback mode on a BR/EDR Controller, HCI_Disconnection_Complete events corresponding to the HCI_Connection_Complete events that were sent when entering Local Loopback mode should be sent to the Host. Furthermore, no connections are allowed in Local Loopback mode. If there is a connection, and there is an attempt to set the device to Local Loopback mode, the attempt will be refused. When the device is in Local Loopback mode, the Controller will refuse incoming connection attempts. This allows the Host BR/EDR Controller Transport Layer to be tested without any other variables.
If a BR/EDR Controller is set to Remote Loopback mode, it will send back all data (ACL, SCO and eSCO) that comes over the air. It will only allow a maximum of one ACL connection and three synchronous connections, and these shall all be to the same remote device. If there are existing connections to a remote device and there is an attempt to set the local device to Remote Loopback mode, the attempt shall be refused.
See Figure 7.2, where the rightmost device is set to Remote Loopback mode and the leftmost device is set to Non-testing mode. This allows the BR/EDR Air link to be tested without any other variables.

7.6.3. Enable Device Under Test Mode command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Enable_Device_Under_Test_Mode | 0x0003 | none | Status |
Description:
The HCI_Enable_Device_Under_Test_Mode command allows the local BR/EDR Controller to enter test mode via LMP test commands for BR/EDR Controllers. For details see [Vol 2] Part C, Link Manager Protocol Specification. The Host issues this command when it wants the local device to be the DUT for the Testing scenarios as described in [Vol 3] Part D, Section 1. When the BR/EDR Controller receives this command, it shall complete the command with an HCI_Command_Complete event. The BR/EDR Controller functions as normal until the remote tester issues the LMP test command to place the local device into Device Under Test mode. To disable and exit the Device Under Test Mode, the Host may issue the HCI_Reset command. The local BR/EDR Controller shall not enter test mode, even if instructed by the remote BR/EDR Controller, before this command is issued.
Command parameters:
None.
Return parameters:

Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Write_Simple_Pairing_Debug_Mode | 0x0004 | Simple_Pairing_Debug_Mode | Status |
Description:
This command configures the BR/EDR Controller to use a predefined Diffie Hellman private key for Secure Simple Pairing to enable debug equipment to monitor the encrypted connection.
Note
Note: Only one side (initiator or responder) needs to set Secure Simple Pairing debug mode in order for debug equipment to be able to determine the link key and, therefore, be able to monitor the encrypted connection.
When the Simple_Pairing_Debug_Mode parameter is set to enabled the BR/EDR Controller shall use the predefined Diffie Hellman private key. The BR/EDR Controller shall also set the resulting Link_Key type to "Debug Combination Key."
When in Secure Simple Pairing debug mode, the Link Manager shall use the following Diffie Hellman private / public key pairs:
For P-192: | |
Private key: | 07915f86918ddc27005df1d6cf0c142b625ed2eff4a518ff |

7.6.8. Write Secure Connections Test Mode command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_Write_Secure_Connections_Test_Mode | 0x000A | Connection_Handle, DM1_ACL-U_Mode, eSCO_Loopback_Mode | Status, Connection_Handle |
Description:
This command configures the BR/EDR Controller to enable and disable the two test modes used for verifying the Secure Connections feature during qualification. The DM1_ACL-U_Mode parameter enables and disables the use of DM1 packets for transmitting ACL-U data. When DM1 ACL-U Mode is disabled, ACL-U traffic may use DM1 packets. When DM1 ACL-U Mode is enabled, ACL-U traffic shall not use DM1 packets unless the Packet_Type parameter only allows DM1 packets (e.g. set to 0x3306 or 0x330E).
The command is used during testing to help make transmit ACL packet selection predictable.
The eSCO_Loopback_Mode parameter enables and disables the loopback of received eSCO payloads. When the eSCO_Loopback_Mode parameter is set to Enabled, the BR/EDR Controller will send back all eSCO data that comes over the air irrespective of whether the CRC check in the received eSCO packet passes or fails. It will only allow one synchronous connection. If there is more than one synchronous connection and there is an attempt to set the local device to eSCO_Loopback_Mode, the attempt shall be refused.
See Figure 7.3, where the rightmost device has the eSCO_Loopback_Mode parameter set to enabled and the leftmost device is in a normal mode of operation. This allows the encryption and decryption of eSCO packets to be tested without any other variables.
The Connection_Handle shall be for an ACL connection.
When the eSCO_Loopback_Mode parameter is set to enabled, received eSCO payloads are looped back as subsequent transmitted eSCO payloads. There may be a delay of 0 or more eSCO intervals before the Controller loops back the payload. This is illustrated in Figure 7.4, Figure 7.5, and Figure 7.6.

7.7.4. Connection Request event
Event | Event Code | Event Parameters |
---|---|---|
HCI_Connection_Request | 0x04 | BD_ADDR, Class_Of_Device, Link_Type |
Description:
The HCI_Connection_Request event is used to indicate that a new incoming connection is trying to be established. The connection may either be accepted or rejected. When the Host receives this event and the link type parameter is ACL, it should respond with either an HCI_Accept_Connection_Request or HCI_Reject_Connection_Request command before the timer Connection_Accept_Timeout expires. If the link type is SCO or eSCO, the Host should reply with the HCI_Accept_Synchronous_Connection_Request command, the HCI_Enhanced_Accept_Synchronous_Connection_Request command, or the HCI_Reject_Synchronous_Connection_Request command. If the link type is SCO, the Host may respond with the HCI_Accept_Connection_Request command. If the event is responded to with the HCI_Accept_Connection_Request command, then the default parameter settings of the HCI_Accept_Synchronous_Connection_Request command (see Section 7.1.27) should be used by the local Link Manager when negotiating the SCO link parameters. In that case, the HCI_Connection_Complete event and not the HCI_Synchronous_Connection_Complete event, shall be returned on completion of the connection.
Note
Note: See Section 7.3.3 for the behavior when the HCI_Connection_Request event is masked or the connection is auto accepted.

Description:
The HCI_Disconnection_Complete event occurs when a connection is terminated. The status parameter indicates if the disconnection was successful or not. The reason parameter indicates the reason for the disconnection if the disconnection was successful. If the disconnection was not successful, the value of the reason parameter shall be ignored by the Host. For example, this can be the case if the Host has issued the HCI_Disconnect command and there was a parameter error, or the command was not presently allowed, or a Connection_Handle that didn’t correspond to a connection was given.
If Connection_Handle identifies a CIS on the Central, the handle and the associated data paths of that CIS shall remain valid (irrespective of whether the disconnection was successful or not). If Connection_Handle identifies a CIS on the Peripheral and Status is zero, the handle and the associated data path of that CIS shall be deleted. If Connection_Handle identifies any other kind of connection and Status is zero, the handle shall be deleted.

7.7.14. Command Complete event
Event | Event Code | Event Parameters |
---|---|---|
HCI_Command_Complete | 0x0E | Num_HCI_Command_Packets, Command_Opcode, Return_Parameters |
Description:
The HCI_Command_Complete event is used by the Controller for most commands to transmit return status of a command and the other event parameters that are specified for the issued HCI command.
The Num_HCI_Command_Packets event parameter allows the Controller to indicate the number of HCI command packets the Host can send to the Controller. If the Controller requires the Host to stop sending commands, the Num_HCI_Command_Packets event parameter will be set to zero. To indicate to the Host that the Controller is ready to receive HCI command packets, the Controller generates an HCI_Command_Complete event with the Command_Opcode set to 0x0000 and the Num_HCI_Command_Packets event parameter set to 1 or more. Command_Opcode 0x0000 is a special value indicating that this event is not associated with a command sent by the Host. The Controller can send an HCI_Command_Complete event with Command Opcode 0x0000 at any time to change the number of outstanding HCI command packets that the Host can send before waiting. See each command for the parameters that are returned by this event.
Event parameters:
Num_HCI_Command_Packets: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXX | The Number of HCI Command packets which are allowed to be sent to the Controller from the Host. Range: 0 to 255 |
Command_Opcode: | Size: 2 octets |

---|---|
0x0000 | No associated command |
0xXXXX | (non-zero) Opcode of the command which caused this event. |
Return_Parameters: | Size: Depends on command |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXX | This is the return parameter(s) for the command specified in the Command_Opcode event parameter. See each command’s definition for the list of return parameters associated with that command. |
7.7.15. Command Status event
Event | Event Code | Event Parameters |
---|---|---|
HCI_Command_Status | 0x0F | Status, Num_HCI_Command_Packets, Command_Opcode |
Description:
The HCI_Command_Status event is used to indicate that the command described by the Command_Opcode parameter has been received, and that the Controller is currently performing the task for this command. This event is needed to provide mechanisms for asynchronous operation, which avoids the need for the Host to wait for a command to finish. If the command cannot begin to execute (a parameter error may have occurred, or the command may currently not be allowed), the Status event parameter will contain the corresponding error code, and no complete event will follow since the command was not started. The Num_HCI_Command_Packets event parameter allows the Controller to indicate the number of HCI command packets the Host can send to the Controller. If the Controller requires the Host to stop sending commands, the Num_HCI_Command_Packets event parameter will be set to zero. To indicate to the Host that the Controller is ready to receive HCI command packets, the Controller generates an HCI_Command_Status event with Status 0x00 and Command_Opcode 0x0000 and the Num_HCI_Command_Packets event parameter set to 1 or more. Command_Opcode 0x0000 is a special value indicating that this event is not associated with a command sent by the Host. The Controller can send an HCI_Command_Status event with Command Opcode 0x0000 at any time to change the number of outstanding HCI command packets that the Host can send before waiting.
Event parameters:
Status: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x00 | Command now pending. |
0x01 to 0xFF | Command failed. See [Vol 1] Part F, Controller Error Codes for a list of error codes and descriptions. |
Num_HCI_Command_Packets: | Size: 1 octet |

Description:
The HCI_Flush_Occurred event is used to indicate that, for the specified Handle, the current user data to be transmitted has been removed. The Handle shall be a Connection_Handle for an ACL connection. This could result from the HCI_Flush command, or be due to the automatic flush. Multiple blocks of an L2CAP packet could have been pending in the Controller. If one Baseband packet part of an L2CAP PDU is flushed, then the rest of the HCI ACL Data packets for the L2CAP PDU shall also be flushed.
Event parameters:
Handle: | Size: 2 octets (12 bits meaningful) |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXX | Handle that was flushed. Range: 0x0000 to 0x0EFF |
7.7.18. Role Change event
Event | Event Code | Event Parameters |
---|---|---|
HCI_Role_Change | 0x12 | Status, BD_ADDR, New_Role |
Description:
The HCI_Role_Change event is used to indicate that the current role of the BR/EDR Controller related to the particular connection has changed. This event occurs (with Status set to zero) when both the remote and local BR/EDR Controllers have completed their role change for the BR/EDR Controller associated with the BD_ADDR event parameter, allowing both affected Hosts to be notified when the Role has been changed.
This event is also generated on the local Controller when the HCI_Switch_Role command finishes because no change was requested or an error occurred. If a Baseband role switch was attempted but failed, the remote Controller may generate the event.
Event parameters:
Status: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x00 | A role change has occurred. |
0x01 to 0xFF | A role change failed. See [Vol 1] Part F, Controller Error Codes for a list of error codes and descriptions. |

7.7.19. Number Of Completed Packets event
Event | Event Code | Event Parameters |
---|---|---|
HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Packets | 0x13 | Num_Handles, Connection_Handle[i], Num_Completed_Packets[i] |
Description:
The HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Packets event is used by the Controller to indicate to the Host how many HCI Data packets or HCI ISO Data packets have been completed for each Connection_Handle since the previous HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Packets event was sent to the Host. This means that the corresponding buffer space has been freed in the Controller and is available for new packets to be sent. Based on this information and the return parameters of the HCI_Read_Buffer_Size and HCI_LE_Read_Buffer_Size commands, the Host can determine for which Connection_Handles the following HCI packets should be sent to the Controller. The HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Packets event shall not specify a given Connection_Handle before the event indicating the corresponding connection has been created or after an event indicating disconnection of the corresponding connection. While the Controller has HCI Data packets or HCI ISO Data packets in its buffer, it shall keep sending the HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Packets event to the Host at least periodically, until it finally reports that all the pending packets have been completed. The rate with which this event is sent is manufacturer specific.
Note
Note: HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Packets events will not report on synchronous Connection_Handles if synchronous Flow Control is disabled. (See Section 7.3.36 and Section 7.3.37.)
Event parameters:
Num_Handles: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |

HCI_Mode_Change | 0x14 | Status, Connection_Handle, Current_Mode, Interval |
Description:
The HCI_Mode_Change event is used to indicate when the device associated with the Connection_Handle changes between Active mode, Hold mode, and Sniff mode. The Connection_Handle will be a Connection_Handle for an ACL connection. The Connection_Handle event parameter is used to indicate which connection the HCI_Mode_Change event is for. The Current_Mode event parameter is used to indicate which state the connection is currently in. The Interval parameter is used to specify a time amount specific to each state. Each Controller that is associated with the Connection_Handle which has changed modes shall send the HCI_Mode_Change event to its Host.
Event parameters:

7.7.21. Return Link Keys event
Event | Event Code | Event Parameters |
---|---|---|
HCI_Return_Link_Keys | 0x15 | Num_Keys, BD_ADDR[i], Link_Key[i] |
Description:
The HCI_Return_Link_Keys event is used by the BR/EDR Controller to send the Host the BD_ADDRs associated with one or more stored Link Keys. Zero or more instances of this event will occur after the HCI_Read_Stored_Link_Key command. When there are no link keys stored, no HCI_Return_Link_Keys events shall be returned. When there are link keys stored, the number of link keys returned in each HCI_Return_Link_Keys event is implementation specific. This event shall never return the value of the link keys. The link keys value parameter shall always contain the value of zero.

7.7.22. PIN Code Request event
Event | Event Code | Event Parameters |
---|---|---|
HCI_PIN_Code_Request | 0x16 | BD_ADDR |
Description:
The HCI_PIN_Code_Request event is used to indicate that a PIN code is required to create a new link key. The Host shall respond using either the HCI_PIN_Code_Request_Reply or the HCI_PIN_Code_Request_Negative_Reply command, depending on whether the Host can provide the Controller with a PIN code or not.
Note: If the HCI_PIN_Code_Request event is masked away, then the BR/EDR Controller will assume that the Host has no PIN Code.
When the BR/EDR Controller generates an HCI_PIN_Code_Request event in order for the local Link Manager to respond to the request from the remote Link Manager (as a result of an HCI_Create_Connection or HCI_Authentication_Requested command from the remote Host), the local Host shall respond with either an HCI_PIN_Code_Request_Reply or HCI_PIN_Code_Request_Negative_Reply command before the remote Link Manager detects LMP response timeout. (See [Vol 2] Part C, Link Manager Protocol Specification.)
Event parameters:
BD_ADDR: | Size: 6 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXXXXXXXXXX | BD_ADDR of the Device for which a new link key is being created. |
7.7.23. Link Key Request event
Event | Event Code | Event Parameters |
---|---|---|
HCI_Link_Key_Request | 0x17 | BD_ADDR |
Description:
The HCI_Link_Key_Request event is used to indicate that a Link Key is required for the connection with the device specified in BD_ADDR. If the Host has the requested stored Link Key, then the Host shall pass the requested Key to the Controller using the HCI_Link_Key_Request_Reply command. If the Host does not have the requested stored Link Key, or the stored Link Key does not meet the security requirements for the requested service, then the Host shall use the HCI_Link_Key_Request_Negative_Reply command to indicate to the Controller that the Host does not have the requested key.
Note
Note: If the HCI_Link_Key_Request event is masked away, then the BR/EDR Controller will assume that the Host has no additional link keys.
If the Host uses the HCI_Link_Key_Request_Negative_Reply command when the requested service requires an authenticated Link Key and the current Link Key is unauthenticated, the Host should set the Authentication_Requirements parameter one of the MITM Protection Required options.
When the Controller generates an HCI_Link_Key_Request event in order for the local Link Manager to respond to the request from the remote Link Manager (as a result of an HCI_Create_Connection or HCI_Authentication_Requested command from the remote Host), the local Host shall respond with either an HCI_Link_Key_Request_Reply or HCI_Link_Key_Request_Negative_Reply command before the remote Link Manager detects LMP response timeout. (See [Vol 2] Part C, Link Manager Protocol Specification.)
Event parameters:
BD_ADDR: | Size: 6 octets |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXXXXXXXXXX | BD_ADDR of the Device for which a stored link key is being requested. |
7.7.24. Link Key Notification event
Event | Event Code | Event Parameters |
---|---|---|
HCI_Link_Key_Notification | 0x18 | BD_ADDR, Link_Key, Key_Type |
Description:
The HCI_Link_Key_Notification event is used to indicate to the Host that a new Link Key has been created for the connection with the device specified in BD_ADDR. The Host can save this new Link Key in its own storage for future use. Also, the Host can decide to store the Link Key in the BR/EDR Controller’s Link Key Storage by using the HCI_Write_Stored_Link_Key command. The Key_Type event parameter informs the Host about which key type (combination key, debug combination key, unauthenticated combination key, authenticated combination key or changed combination key) was used during pairing. If the key type is not supported or is reserved for future use, the Host may discard the key or disconnect the link.
The combination key Key_Type is used when standard pairing was used. The debug combination key Key_Type is used when Secure Simple Pairing was used and the debug public key is sent or received. The unauthenticated combination key Key_Type is used when the Just Works Secure Simple Pairing association model was used. The authenticated combination key Key_Type is used when Secure Simple Pairing was used and the Just Works association mode was not used. The changed combination key Key_Type is used when the link key has been changed using the Change Connection Link Key procedure and Secure Simple Pairing Mode is set to enabled.
Note
Note: It is the responsibility of the Host to remember the Key_Type (combination, debug combination, unauthenticated combination, or authenticated combination) prior to changing the link key.
When the unauthenticated or authenticated combination key Key_Type is used, the Controller shall use values 0x04 and 0x05 to indicate keys created with the P-192 elliptic curve and values 0x07 and 0x08 to indicate keys created with the P-256 elliptic curve. The values 0x07 and 0x08 shall only be used when the Host has indicated support for Secure Connections in the Secure_Connections_Host_Support parameter.

Event | Event Code | Event Parameters |
---|---|---|
HCI_Flow_Specification_Complete | 0x21 | Status, Connection_Handle, Unused, Flow_Direction, Service_Type, Token_Rate, Token_Bucket_Size, Peak_Bandwidth, Access_Latency |
Description:
The HCI_Flow_Specification_Complete event is used to inform the Host about the Quality of Service for the ACL connection the Controller is able to support. The Connection_Handle will be a Connection_Handle for an ACL connection. The flow parameters refer to the outgoing or incoming traffic of the ACL link, as indicated by the Flow_Direction field. The flow parameters are defined in the L2CAP specification [Vol 3] Part A, Section 5.3. When the Status parameter indicates a successful completion, the flow parameters specify the agreed values by the Controller. When the Status parameter indicates a failed completion with the error code QoS Unacceptable Parameter (0x2C), the flow parameters specify the acceptable values of the Controller. This enables the Host to continue the 'QoS negotiation' with a new HCI_Flow_Specification command with flow parameter values that are acceptable for the Controller. When the Status parameter indicates a failed completion with the error code QoS Rejected (0x2D), this indicates a request of the Controller to discontinue the 'QoS negotiation'. When the Status parameter indicates a failed completion, the flow parameter values of the most recently successful completion shall be assumed (or the default values when there was no success completion).
The Unused parameter is reserved for future use.
This event is generated following an HCI_Flow_Specification command issued by the local Host.
Note
Note: This event or the HCI_QoS_Setup_Complete event can be generated if the remote device performs an LMP transaction involving the flow parameter values.

Description:
The HCI_Extended_Inquiry_Result event indicates that a BR/EDR Controller has responded during the current inquiry process with extended inquiry response data. This event will be sent from the BR/EDR Controller to the Host upon reception of an Extended Inquiry Response from a remote device. One single Extended Inquiry Response is returned per event. This event contains RSSI and inquiry response data for the BR/EDR Controller that responded to the latest inquiry. The RSSI parameter is measured during the FHS packet returned by each responding Peripheral. The Num_Responses parameter shall be set to one.
This event is only generated if the Inquiry_Mode parameter of the last HCI_Write_Inquiry_Mode command was set to 0x02 (Inquiry Result with RSSI format or Extended Inquiry Result format).
Note
Note: This ensures that a Host that does not support Extended Inquiry Results will never receive the HCI_Extended_Inquiry_Result event.
If an inquiry response packet with the EIR field set to zero is received, the HCI_Inquiry_Result_with_RSSI event format shall be used. If the EIR bit is set to one the HCI_Extended_Inquiry_Result event format shall be used. If the EIR bit is set to one but the Controller failed to receive the extended inquiry response packet, the Extended_Inquiry_Response parameter is set to zeros. If an extended inquiry response packet from the same device is correctly received in a later response, another event shall be generated.
Note
Note: The only difference between the HCI_Extended_Inquiry_Result event and the HCI_Inquiry_Result_with_RSSI event is the additional Extended_Inquiry_Response parameter.
Note
Note: The Extended_Inquiry_Response parameter is not interpreted by the Controller. The tagged data set by the other Host should be passed unaltered if it has been correctly received.

7.7.59. Number Of Completed Data Blocks event
Event | Event Code | Event Parameters |
---|---|---|
HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Data_Blocks | 0x48 | Total_Num_Data_Blocks, Num_Handles, Connection_Handle[i], Num_Completed_Packets[i], Num_Completed_Blocks[i] |
Description:
The HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Data_Blocks event is used by the Controller to indicate to the Host how many HCI ACL Data packets have been completed (transmitted or flushed), and how many data block buffers have been freed, for each Connection_Handle since the previous HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Data_Blocks event was sent to the Host. This means that the corresponding buffer space has been freed in the Controller. Based on this information, and the Total_Num_Data_Blocks parameter, the Host can determine for which Handles the following HCI ACL Data packets should be sent to the Controller.
The Host should determine the number of blocks occupied by each ACL data packet by dividing the ACL data packet size by the Data_Block_Length parameter of the HCI_Read_Data_Block_Size command.
The Total_Num_Data_Blocks parameter indicates the total number of buffer blocks available in the Controller. Before any HCI_Number_Of_Completed_Data_Blocks event is received, the value of Total_Num_Data_Blocks from the HCI_Read_Data_Block_Size command is used. This allows the value to be updated at any time, which provides the Controller with some flexibility on its buffer allocation.
If the Controller were permitted to reduce its buffer pool in an arbitrary way then there is a potential race condition, in the case where the Host has just started to transmit a new packet. In order to prevent this race condition, the Total_Num_Data_Blocks parameter shall not indicate a reduction in the pool of blocks greater than the sum of the Num_Completed_Blocks values in this event. If a greater reduction in the block pool is required then the value 0 shall be indicated here. The value 0 has a special meaning and indicates that the Host shall re-issue the HCI_Read_Data_Block_Size command in order to find the new buffer pool size. The Host shall wait for any outstanding TX to complete and shall defer further TX until the HCI_Read_Data_Block_Size command has been issued and completed. The Controller shall reduce its allocation only after the HCI_Read_Data_Block_Size command has been issued and completed. This ensures that the race condition described above is avoided.

7.7.65.13. LE Extended Advertising Report event
Event | Event Code | Event Parameters |
---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Extended_Advertising_Report | 0x3E | Subevent_Code, Num_Reports, Event_Type[i], Address_Type[i], Address[i], Primary_PHY[i], Secondary_PHY[i], Advertising_SID[i], TX_Power[i], RSSI[i], Periodic_Advertising_Interval[i], Direct_Address_Type[i], Direct_Address[i], Data_Length[i], Data[i] |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Extended_Advertising_Report event indicates that one or more Bluetooth devices have responded to an active scan or have broadcast advertisements that were received during a passive scan. The Controller may coalesce multiple advertising reports from the same or different advertisers into a single HCI_LE_Extended_Advertising_Report event, provided all the parameters from all the advertising reports fit in a single HCI event.
This event shall only be generated if scanning was enabled using the HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Scan_Enable command. It reports advertising events using either legacy or extended advertising PDUs.
The Controller may split the data from a single advertisement or scan response (whether one PDU or several) into several reports. If so, each report except the last shall have an Event_Type with a data status field of "incomplete, more data to come", while the last shall have the value "complete"; the Address_Type, Address, Advertising_SID, Primary_PHY, and Secondary_PHY fields shall be the same in all the reports. No further reports shall be sent for a given advertisement or scan response after one with a Data_Status other than "incomplete, more data to come".
When a scan response is received, bits 0 to 2 and 4 of the event type shall indicate the properties of the original advertising event and the Advertising_SID field should be set to the value in the original scannable advertisement.
An Event_Type with a data status field of "incomplete, data truncated" shall indicate that the Controller attempted to receive an AUX_CHAIN_IND PDU but was not successful or received it but was unable to store the data.
Where the event being reported used a legacy advertising PDU, the Controller shall set the Event_Type to the value specified in Table 7.1.
PDU Type | Event_Type |
---|---|
ADV_IND | 0b0010011 |
ADV_DIRECT_IND | 0b0010101 |
ADV_SCAN_IND | 0b0010010 |
ADV_NONCONN_IND | 0b0010000 |
SCAN_RSP to an ADV_IND | 0b0011011 |
SCAN_RSP to an ADV_SCAN_IND | 0b0011010 |
If the Event_Type indicates a legacy PDU (bit 4 = 1), the Primary_PHY parameter shall indicate the LE 1M PHY and the Secondary_PHY parameter shall be set to 0x00. Otherwise, the Primary_PHY parameter shall indicate the PHY used to send the advertising PDU on the primary advertising physical channel and the Secondary_PHY parameter shall indicate the PHY used to send the advertising PDU(s), if any, on the secondary advertising physical channel. If the Advertising Coding Selection (Host Support) Link Layer feature bit is set (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.6) and the Primary_PHY or Secondary_PHY parameter indicates that the LE Coded PHY was used, then the parameter shall also indicate which coding was used.
The Periodic_Advertising_Interval event parameter shall be set to zero when no periodic advertising exists as part of the advertising set.
The Direct_Address_Type and Direct_Address parameters shall contain the TargetA address in the advertising PDU for directed advertising event types (bit 2 = 1). These parameters shall be ignored for undirected advertising event types (bit 2 = 0). If the TargetA address is a resolvable private address that the Controller successfully resolved, then the value of Direct_Address_Type shall depend on the value of the Own_Address_Type parameter of the command that set the extended scan parameters. Direct_Address shall be set as follows:
If Direct_Address_Type equals 0x02, then Direct_Address shall be set to either the TargetA field in the received advertisement or to the public device address of the scanning device.
If Direct_Address_Type equals 0x03, then Direct_Address shall be set to either the TargetA field in the received advertisement or to the address set by the HCI_LE_Set_Random_Address command.
Otherwise Direct_Address shall be set to the TargetA field in the received advertisement.
When multiple advertising packets are used to complete a single advertising report (e.g., a packet containing an ADV_EXT_IND PDU combined with one containing an AUX_ADV_IND PDU), the RSSI event parameter shall be set based on the last packet received and the TX_Power event parameter shall be based on the last packet of the current advertisement or scan response received that contains a TxPower field. However, if an event has been sent with a TX_Power value other than 0x7F and a Data_Status of "incomplete, more data to come", and if no subsequent PDU with a TxPower field has been received, then subsequent events may instead have a TX_Power value of 0x7F.
If the Controller receives an AUX_CHAIN_IND with no AdvData, it should send the report (or the last report if it has split the data) immediately without waiting for any subsequent AUX_CHAIN_IND PDUs.

HCI_LE_Periodic_Advertising_Report [v1] | 0x3E | Subevent_Code, Sync_Handle, TX_Power, RSSI, CTE_Type, Data_Status, Data_Length, Data |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Periodic_Advertising_Report event indicates that the Controller has received a periodic advertisement or has failed to receive an AUX_SYNC_SUBEVENT_IND PDU.
The Sync_Handle parameter identifies the periodic advertising train that the report relates to.
The RSSI parameter contains the RSSI value, excluding any Constant Tone Extension. If the Controller supports the Connectionless CTE Receiver feature, RSSI shall not be set to 0x7F. When multiple advertising packets are used to complete a periodic advertising report (e.g., a packet containing an AUX_SYNC_IND PDU combined with one containing an AUX_CHAIN PDU), the RSSI event parameter shall be set based on the last packet received and the TX_Power event parameter shall be set based on the AUX_SYNC_IND PDU. However, the second or subsequent events for the same periodic advertisement may instead have a TX_Power value of 0x7F.
The Controller may split the data from a single periodic advertisement (whether one PDU or several) into several reports. If so, each report except the last shall have a Data_Status of "incomplete, more data to come", while the last shall have the value "complete". No further reports shall be sent for a given periodic advertisement after one with a Data_Status other than "incomplete, more data to come".
A Data_Status of "incomplete, data truncated" indicates that the Controller attempted to receive an AUX_CHAIN_IND PDU but was not successful or received it but was unable to store the data.
The CTE_Type parameter indicates the type of Constant Tone Extension in the periodic advertising packets.
The Periodic_Event_Counter parameter indicates the periodic advertising event counter (paEventCounter) of the event that the periodic advertising packet was received in.
The Subevent parameter indicates the Periodic Advertising with Responses subevent that the periodic advertising packet was received in. If the Periodic Advertising does not have subevents, then Subevent shall be set to 0xFF.
If the Controller receives an AUX_CHAIN_IND PDU with no AdvData, it should send the report (or the last report if it has split the data) immediately without waiting for any subsequent AUX_CHAIN_IND PDUs.

Description:
The HCI_LE_Advertising_Set_Terminated event indicates that the Controller has terminated advertising in the advertising sets specified by the Advertising_Handle parameter.
This event shall be generated every time connectable advertising in an advertising set results in a connection being created or because the advertising duration or the maximum number of extended advertising events has been reached. It shall not be generated if the Host disables the advertising set.
This event shall only be generated if advertising was enabled using the HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Advertising_Enable command.
The Connection_Handle parameter is only valid when advertising ends because a connection was created.
If the Max_Extended_Advertising_Events parameter in the HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Advertising_Enable command was non-zero, the Num_Completed_Extended_Advertising_Events parameter shall be set to the number of completed extended advertising events the Controller had transmitted when either the duration elapsed or the maximum number of extended advertising events was reached; otherwise it shall be set to zero.
If advertising has terminated as a result of the advertising duration elapsing, the Status parameter shall be set to the error code Advertising Timeout (0x3C).
If advertising has terminated because the Max_Extended_Advertising_Events was reached, the Status parameter shall be set to the error code Limit Reached (0x43).

Description:
The HCI_LE_Connectionless_IQ_Report event is used by the Controller to report IQ information from the Constant Tone Extension of a received advertising packet forming part of the periodic advertising train identified by Sync_Handle and to report IQ information from the Constant Tone Extension of a received Test Mode packet (see Section 7.8.28).
The index of the channel on which the packet was received, the RSSI of the packet (excluding the Constant Tone Extension), the ID of the antenna on which this was measured, the type of Constant Tone Extension, the value of paEventCounter, and the IQ samples of the Constant Tone Extension of the advertisement are reported in the corresponding parameters. For any given sample, either both or neither of I_Sample[i] and Q_Sample[i] shall equal 0x80.
The Slot_Durations parameter specifies the sampling rate used by the Controller.
The Packet_Status parameter indicates whether the received packet had a valid CRC and, if not, whether the Controller has determined the position and size of the Constant Tone Extension using the Length and CTETime fields.
Note
Note: A Controller is not required to generate this event for packets that have a bad CRC.
The Constant Tone Extension format is defined in [Vol 6] Part B, Section 2.5.1.
If the PDU contains AdvData, then any HCI_LE_Periodic_Advertising_Report event triggered by this PDU shall be generated before this event.
Not all PDUs in a periodic advertisement will necessarily trigger an HCI_LE_Periodic_Advertising_Report event. For example, PDUs without AdvData might not trigger that event (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.4.5.1).
The Controller is not required to generate this event for a Constant Tone Extension with a type that it does not support.
This event is also used by the Controller to report that it has insufficient resources to report IQ samples for all received Constant Tone Extensions and has failed to sample at least once. In this case Packet_Status shall be set to 0xFF and Sample_Count to 0x00.

This command is used to read the maximum size of the data portion of ACL data packets and isochronous data packets sent from the Host to the Controller. The Host shall segment the data transmitted to the Controller according to these values so that the HCI ACL Data packets and HCI ISO Data packets will contain data up to this size (“data” includes optional fields in the HCI ISO Data packet, such as ISO_SDU_Length). The HCI_LE_Read_Buffer_Size command also returns the total number of HCI LE ACL Data packets and isochronous data packets that can be stored in the data buffers of the Controller. The HCI_LE_Read_Buffer_Size command shall be issued by the Host before it sends any data to an LE Controller (see Section 4.1.1). If the Controller supports HCI ISO Data packets, it shall return non-zero values for the ISO_Data_Packet_Length and Total_Num_ISO_Data_Packets parameters.
If the Controller returns a length value of zero for ACL data packets, the Host shall use the HCI_Read_Buffer_Size command to determine the size of the data buffers (shared between BR/EDR and LE transports).
Note
Note: Both the HCI_Read_Buffer_Size command and the HCI_LE_Read_Buffer_Size command may return buffer length and number of packets parameter values that are nonzero. This allows a Controller to offer different buffers and number of buffers for BR/EDR data packets and LE data packets.
The LE_ACL_Data_Packet_Length return parameter shall be used to determine the maximum size of the L2CAP PDU segments that are contained in ACL data packets, and which are transferred from the Host to the Controller to be broken up into packets by the Link Layer. The Total_Num_LE_ACL_Data_Packets return parameter contains the total number of HCI ACL Data packets that can be stored in the data buffers of the Controller. The Host determines how to divide the buffers between different connection handles.
The ISO_Data_Packet_Length return parameter shall be used to determine the maximum size of the SDU segments that are contained in isochronous data packets, and which are transferred from the Host to the Controller. The Total_Num_ISO_Data_Packets return parameter contains the total number of isochronous data packets that can be stored in the data buffers of the Controller. The Host determines how to divide the buffers between different connection handle(s).
Note: The LE_ACL_Data_Packet_Length and ISO_Data_Packet_Length return parameters do not include the length of the HCI ACL Data packet header or the HCI ISO Data packet header respectively.

Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Advertising_Parameters command is used by the Host to set the advertising parameters.
The Advertising_Interval_Min shall be less than or equal to the Advertising_Interval_Max. The Advertising_Interval_Min and Advertising_Interval_Max should not be the same value to enable the Controller to determine the best advertising interval given other activities.
For high duty cycle directed advertising, i.e. when Advertising_Type is 0x01 (ADV_DIRECT_IND, high duty cycle), the Advertising_Interval_Min and Advertising_Interval_Max parameters are not used and shall be ignored.
The Advertising_Type is used to determine the packet type that is used for advertising when advertising is enabled.
Own_Address_Type parameter indicates the type of address being used in the advertising packets.
If Own_Address_Type equals 0x02 or 0x03, the Peer_Address parameter contains the peer’s Identity Address and the Peer_Address_Type parameter contains the Peer’s Identity Type (i.e. 0x00 or 0x01). These parameters are used to locate the corresponding local IRK in the resolving list; this IRK is used to generate the own address used in the advertisement.
If directed advertising is performed, i.e. when Advertising_Type is set to 0x01 (ADV_DIRECT_IND, high duty cycle) or 0x04 (ADV_DIRECT_IND, low duty cycle mode), then the Peer_Address_Type and Peer_Address shall be valid.
If Own_Address_Type equals 0x02 or 0x03, the Controller generates the peer’s Resolvable Private Address using the peer’s IRK corresponding to the peer’s Identity Address contained in the Peer_Address parameter and peer’s Identity Address Type (i.e. 0x00 or 0x01) contained in the Peer_Address_Type parameter.
The Advertising_Channel_Map is a bit field that indicates the advertising channel indices that shall be used when transmitting advertising packets. At least one channel bit shall be set in the Advertising_Channel_Map parameter.
The Advertising_Filter_Policy parameter shall be ignored when directed advertising is enabled.
The Host shall not issue this command when advertising is enabled in the Controller; if it is the Command Disallowed error code shall be used.
If the advertising interval range provided by the Host (Advertising_Interval_Min, Advertising_Interval_Max) does not overlap with the advertising interval range supported by the Controller, then the Controller shall return the Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11) error code.

7.8.9. LE Set Advertising Enable command[1] This command was formerly called “LE Set Advertise Enable”.
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Set_Advertising_Enable | 0x000A | Advertising_Enable | Status |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Advertising_Enable command is used to request the Controller to start or stop advertising. The Controller manages the timing of advertisements as per the advertising parameters given in the HCI_LE_Set_Advertising_Parameters command.
The Controller shall continue advertising until the Host issues an HCI_LE_Set_Advertising_Enable command with Advertising_Enable set to 0x00 (Advertising is disabled). a connection is created using the advertising, or the Advertising is timed out due to high duty cycle Directed Advertising. In these cases, advertising is then disabled.
If Advertising_Enable is set to 0x01, the advertising parameters' Own_Address_Type parameter is set to 0x00, and the device does not have a public address, the Controller should return an error code which should be Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If Advertising_Enable is set to 0x01, the advertising parameters' Own_Address_Type parameter is set to 0x01, and the random address for the device has not been initialized using the HCI_LE_Set_Random_Address command, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If Advertising_Enable is set to 0x01, the advertising parameters' Own_Address_Type parameter is set to 0x02, the Controller's resolving list did not contain a matching entry, and the device does not have a public address, the Controller should return an error code which should be Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If Advertising_Enable is set to 0x01, the advertising parameters' Own_Address_Type parameter is set to 0x03, the Controller's resolving list did not contain a matching entry, and the random address for the device has not been initialized using the HCI_LE_Set_Random_Address command, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters.(0x12).
Enabling advertising when it is already enabled can cause the random address to change. Disabling advertising when it is already disabled has no effect.
Command parameters:
Advertising_Enable: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x00 | Advertising is disabled (default) |
0x01 | Advertising is enabled. |
All other values | Reserved for future use |
Return parameters:
Status: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0x00 | HCI_LE_Set_Advertising_Enable command succeeded. |
0x01 to 0xFF | HCI_LE_Set_Advertising_Enable command failed. See [Vol 1] Part F, Controller Error Codes for a list of error codes and descriptions. |
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the HCI_LE_Set_Advertising_Enable command has completed, an HCI_Command_Complete event shall be generated.
If the Advertising_Type parameter is 0x01 (ADV_DIRECT_IND, high duty cycle) and the directed advertising fails to create a connection, an HCI_LE_Connection_Complete or HCI_LE_Enhanced_Connection_Complete event shall be generated with the Status code set to Advertising Timeout (0x3C).
If the Advertising_Type parameter is 0x00 (ADV_IND), 0x01 (ADV_DIRECT_IND, high duty cycle), or 0x04 (ADV_DIRECT_IND, low duty cycle) and a connection is created, an HCI_LE_Connection_Complete or HCI_LE_Enhanced_Connection_Complete event shall be generated.
Note: There is a possible race condition if the Advertising_Enable parameter is set to 0x00 (Disable) and the Advertising_Type parameter is 0x00, 0x01, or 0x04. The advertisements might not be stopped before a connection is created, and therefore both the HCI_Command_Complete event and either an HCI_LE_Connection_Complete event or an HCI_LE_Enhanced_Connection_Complete event could be generated. This can also occur when high duty cycle directed advertising is timed out and this command disables advertising.
7.8.10. LE Set Scan Parameters command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Set_Scan_Parameters | 0x000B | LE_Scan_Type, LE_Scan_Interval, LE_Scan_Window, Own_Address_Type, Scanning_Filter_Policy | Status |

7.8.11. LE Set Scan Enable command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Set_Scan_Enable | 0x000C | LE_Scan_Enable, Filter_Duplicates | Status |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Scan_Enable command is used to start and stop scanning for legacy PDUs (but not extended PDUs, even if the device supports extended advertising). Scanning is used to discover advertising devices nearby.
The Filter_Duplicates parameter controls whether the Link Layer should filter out duplicate advertising reports (Filtering_Enabled) to the Host, or if the Link Layer should generate advertising reports for each packet received (Filtering_Disabled). See [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.4.3.5. If LE_Scan_Enable is set to 0x00 then Filter_Duplicates shall be ignored.
If LE_Scan_Enable is set to 0x01, the scanning parameters' Own_Address_Type parameter is set to 0x00 or 0x02, and the device does not have a public address, the Controller should return an error code which should be Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If LE_Scan_Enable is set to 0x01, the scanning parameters' Own_Address_Type parameter is set to 0x01 or 0x03, and the random address for the device has not been initialized using the HCI_LE_Set_Random_Address command, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the LE_Scan_Enable parameter is set to 0x01 and scanning is already enabled, any change to the Filter_Duplicates setting shall take effect.
Disabling scanning when it is disabled has no effect.
Command parameters:
LE_Scan_Enable: | Size: 1 octet |

0x00 | HCI_LE_Set_Scan_Enable command succeeded. |
0x01 to 0xFF | HCI_LE_Set_Scan_Enable command failed. See [Vol 1] Part F, Controller Error Codes for a list of error codes and descriptions. |
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the HCI_LE_Set_Scan_Enable command has completed, an HCI_Command_Complete event shall be generated.
Zero or more HCI_LE_Advertising_Report events are generated by the Controller based on legacy advertising packets received and the duplicate filtering. More than one advertising packet may be reported in each HCI_LE_Advertising_Report event. No report shall be issued for extended advertising PDUs.
When the Scanning_Filter_Policy is set to 0x02 or 0x03 (see Section 7.8.10) and a directed advertisement was received where the advertiser used a resolvable private address which the Controller is unable to resolve, an HCI_LE_Directed_Advertising_Report event shall be generated instead of an HCI_LE_Advertising_Report event.
7.8.12. LE Create Connection command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Create_Connection | 0x000D | LE_Scan_Interval, LE_Scan_Window, Initiator_Filter_Policy, Peer_Address_Type, Peer_Address, Own_Address_Type, Connection_Interval_Min, Connection_Interval_Max, Max_Latency, Supervision_Timeout, Min_CE_Length, Max_CE_Length | none |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Create_Connection command is used to create an ACL connection, with the local device in the Central role, to a connectable advertiser.
If a connection is created with the local device in the Peripheral role while this command is pending, then this command remains pending.
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 Filter Accept List is used. If the Filter Accept 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.

HCI_LE_Receiver_Test [v1] | 0x001D | RX_Channel | Status |
Description:
This command is used to start a test where the DUT receives test reference packets at a fixed interval. The tester generates the test reference packets.
The RX_Channel and PHY parameters specify the RF channel and PHY to be used by the receiver. If the Host sets the PHY parameter to a PHY that the Controller does not support, including a value that is reserved for future use, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
The Modulation_Index parameter specifies whether or not the Controller should assume the receiver has a stable modulation index.
The Expected_CTE_Length and Expected_CTE_Type parameters specify the expected length and type of the Constant Tone Extensions in received test reference packets. When receiving on a PHY that allows Constant Tone Extensions, if the Constant Tone Extension in a received test reference packet does not match both of these, the DUT shall discard that packet. If Expected_CTE_Length is not zero and PHY specifies a PHY that does not allow Constant Tone Extensions, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the Slot_Durations parameter is set to 0x01 and the Controller does not support 1 µs switching and sampling, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
Slot_Durations, Switching_Pattern_Length, and Antenna_IDs[i] are only used when expecting an AoA Constant Tone Extension and shall be ignored when expecting an AoD Constant Tone Extension.
If the Controller determines that any of the Antenna_IDs[i] values do not identify an antenna in the device's antenna array, it shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
Note
Note: Some Controllers may be unable to determine which values do or do not identify an antenna.

An LE Controller supporting the HCI_LE_Transmitter_Test command shall support Packet_Payload values 0x00, 0x01 and 0x02. An LE Controller supporting the LE Coded PHY shall also support Packet_Payload value 0x04. An LE Controller may support other values of Packet_Payload.
The CTE_Length and CTE_Type parameters specify the length and type of the Constant Tone Extension in the test reference packets. If the CTE_Type parameter is set to 0x01 and the Controller does not support 1 µs switching, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11). If CTE_Length is not zero and PHY specifies a PHY that does not allow Constant Tone Extensions, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
The Switching_Pattern_Length and Antenna_IDs[i] parameters specify the antenna switching pattern. They are only used when transmitting an AoD Constant Tone Extension and shall be ignored when transmitting an AoA Constant Tone Extension.
If the Controller determines that any of the Antenna_IDs[i] values do not identify an antenna in the device's antenna array, it shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
Note
Note: Some Controllers may be unable to determine which values do or do not identify an antenna.
The TX_Power_Level parameter specifies the transmit power level to be used by the transmitter. If the parameter is set to a value other than 0x7E or 0x7F, then the Controller shall make the requested change or shall make the nearest change that it is capable of doing.

Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Default_PHY command allows the Host to specify its preferred values for the transmitter PHY and receiver PHY to be used for all subsequent connections over the LE transport.
The All_PHYs parameter is a bit field that allows the Host to specify, for each direction, whether it has no preference among the PHYs that the Controller supports in a given direction or whether it has specified particular PHYs that it prefers in the TX_PHYs or RX_PHYs parameter.
The TX_PHYs parameter is a bit field that indicates the transmitter PHYs that the Host prefers the Controller to use. If the All_PHYs parameter specifies that the Host has no preference, the TX_PHYs parameter shall be ignored; otherwise at least one bit shall be set to 1.
The RX_PHYs parameter is a bit field that indicates the receiver PHYs that the Host prefers the Controller to use. If the All_PHYs parameter specifies that the Host has no preference, the RX_PHYs parameter shall be ignored; otherwise at least one bit shall be set to 1.
If the Host sets, in the TX_PHYs or RX_PHYs parameter, a bit for a PHY that the Controller does not support, including a bit that is reserved for future use, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
If the Controller does not support asymmetric connections (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.6.9.1) and the Host sets All_PHYs to 0x00 and TX_PHYs to a different value than RX_PHYs, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).

Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Set_PHY | 0x0032 | Connection_Handle, All_PHYs, TX_PHYs, RX_PHYs, PHY_Options | none |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_PHY command is used to set the PHY preferences for the connection identified by the Connection_Handle. The Controller might not be able to make the change (e.g. because the peer does not support the requested PHY) or may decide that the current PHY is preferable (e.g., because it could not schedule other activities if the requested PHY was used or because it requires a PHY that supports Constant Tone Extensions).
The All_PHYs parameter is a bit field that allows the Host to specify, for each direction, whether it has no preference among the PHYs that the Controller supports in a given direction or whether it has specified particular PHYs that it prefers in the TX_PHYs or RX_PHYs parameter.
The TX_PHYs parameter is a bit field that indicates the transmitter PHYs that the Host prefers the Controller to use. If the All_PHYs parameter specifies that the Host has no preference, the TX_PHYs parameter shall be ignored; otherwise at least one bit shall be set to 1.
The RX_PHYs parameter is a bit field that indicates the receiver PHYs that the Host prefers the Controller to use. If the All_PHYs parameter specifies that the Host has no preference, the RX_PHYs parameter shall be ignored; otherwise at least one bit shall be set to 1.
The Controller shall request a change unless it determines that this is unnecessary or that the current PHY is preferable, in which case it may, but need not, request a change.
The PHY preferences provided by the HCI_LE_Set_PHY command override those provided via the HCI_LE_Set_Default_PHY command ( Section 7.8.48) or any preferences previously set using the HCI_LE_Set_PHY command on the same connection.
The PHY_Options parameter is a bit field that allows the Host to specify options for PHYs. The default value for a new connection shall be all zero bits. The Controller may override any preferred coding for transmitting on the LE Coded PHY.
The Host may specify a preferred coding even if it prefers not to use the LE Coded transmitter PHY since the Controller may override the PHY preference.
If the Host sets, in the TX_PHYs or RX_PHYs parameter, a bit for a PHY that the Controller does not support, including a bit that is reserved for future use, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
If the Controller does not support asymmetric connections (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.6.9.1) and the Host sets All_PHYs to 0x00 and TX_PHYs to a different value than RX_PHYs, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).

Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Advertising_Parameters command is used by the Host to set the advertising parameters.
The Advertising_Handle parameter identifies the advertising set whose parameters are being configured.
The Advertising_Event_Properties parameter describes the type of advertising event that is being configured and its basic properties. The type shall be one supported by the Controller. In particular, the following restrictions apply to this parameter:
If legacy advertising PDU types are being used, then the parameter value shall be one of those specified in Table 7.2. If the advertising set already contains data, the type shall be one that supports advertising data and the amount of data shall not exceed 31 octets.
Event Type | PDU Type | Advertising Event Properties | Advertising Data |
---|---|---|---|
Connectable and scannable undirected | ADV_IND | 0b00010011 | Supported |
Connectable directed (low duty cycle) | ADV_DIRECT_IND | 0b00010101 | Not allowed |
Connectable directed (high duty cycle) | ADV_DIRECT_IND | 0b00011101 | Not allowed |
Scannable undirected | ADV_SCAN_IND | 0b00010010 | Supported |
Non-connectable and non-scannable undirected | ADV_NONCONN_IND | 0b00010000 | Supported |
If extended advertising PDU types are being used (bit 4 = 0) then:
The advertisement shall not be both connectable and scannable. High duty cycle directed connectable advertising (≤ 3.75 ms advertising interval) shall not be used (bit 3 = 0).
If the Advertising_Event_Properties parameter does not describe an event type supported by the Controller, contains an invalid bit combination, or specifies a type that does not support advertising data when the advertising set already contains some, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
The parameters beginning with “Secondary” are only valid when extended advertising PDU types are being used (bit 4 = 0).
The Own_Address_Type parameter shall be ignored for undirected anonymous advertising (bit 2 = 0 and bit 5 = 1).
If Directed advertising is selected, the Peer_Address_Type and Peer_Address shall be valid and the Advertising_Filter_Policy parameter shall be ignored.
The Primary_Advertising_Interval_Min parameter shall be less than or equal to the Primary_Advertising_Interval_Max parameter. The Primary_Advertising_Interval_Min and Primary_Advertising_Interval_Max parameters should not be the same value so that the Controller can choose the best advertising interval given other activities.
For high duty cycle connectable directed advertising event type (ADV_DIRECT_IND), the Primary_Advertising_Interval_Min and Primary_Advertising_Interval_Max parameters are not used and shall be ignored.
If the primary advertising interval range provided by the Host (Primary_Advertising_Interval_Min, Primary_Advertising_Interval_Max) does not overlap with the advertising interval range supported by the Controller, then the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
The Primary_Advertising_Channel_Map is a bit field that indicates the advertising channel indices that shall be used when transmitting advertising packets. At least one channel bit shall be set in the Primary_Advertising_Channel_Map parameter.
The Own_Address_Type parameter specifies the type of address being used in the advertising packets. For random addresses, the address is specified by the HCI_LE_Set_Advertising_Set_Random_Address command.
If Own_Address_Type equals 0x02 or 0x03, the Peer_Address parameter contains the peer’s Identity Address and the Peer_Address_Type parameter contains the peer’s Identity Type (i.e., 0x00 or 0x01). These parameters are used to locate the corresponding local IRK in the resolving list; this IRK is used to generate their own address used in the advertisement.
The Advertising_TX_Power parameter indicates the maximum power level at which the advertising packets are to be transmitted on the advertising physical channels. The Controller shall choose a power level lower than or equal to the one specified by the Host.
The Primary_Advertising_PHY parameter indicates the PHY on which the advertising packets are transmitted on the primary advertising physical channel. If legacy advertising PDUs are being used, the Primary_Advertising_PHY shall indicate the LE 1M PHY. The Secondary_Advertising_PHY parameter indicates the PHY on which the advertising packets are be transmitted on the secondary advertising physical channel. If the Host specifies a PHY that is not supported by the Controller, including a value that is reserved for future use, it should return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11). If Constant Tone Extensions are enabled for the advertising set and Secondary_Advertising_PHY specifies a PHY that does not allow Constant Tone Extensions, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the Primary_Advertising_PHY indicates the LE Coded PHY, then the Primary_Advertising_PHY_Options shall indicate the Host's preference or requirement concerning coding scheme. Otherwise, Primary_Advertising_PHY_Options shall be ignored. If the Secondary_Advertising_PHY indicates the LE Coded PHY, then the Secondary_Advertising_PHY_Options shall indicate the Host's preference or requirement concerning coding scheme (including for periodic advertising). Otherwise, Secondary_Advertising_PHY_Options shall be ignored. If the Host specifies that it requires a specific coding (i.e., value 0x03 or 0x04) in the Primary_Advertising_PHY_Options or Secondary_Advertising_PHY_Options and the Controller supports the LE Feature (Advertising Coding Selection) but is currently unable to provide all the required settings, then the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
The Secondary_Advertising_Max_Skip parameter is the maximum number of advertising events that can be skipped before the AUX_ADV_IND can be sent.
The Advertising_SID parameter specifies the value to be transmitted in the Advertising SID subfield of the ADI field of the Extended Header of those advertising physical channel PDUs that have an ADI field. If the advertising set only uses PDUs that do not contain an ADI field, Advertising_SID shall be ignored.
The Scan_Request_Notification_Enable parameter indicates whether the Controller shall send notifications upon the receipt of a scan request PDU that is in response to an advertisement from the specified advertising set that contains its device address and is from a scanner that is allowed by the advertising filter policy.
The Controller shall set the Selected_TX_Power return parameter to the transmit power that it will use for transmitting the advertising packets for the specified advertising set. The Controller shall only change this value if requested by the Host. If the radiated power level will vary between packets (e.g., because of frequency-dependent properties of the transmitter) then the value should be the best estimate of the maximum power used.
If the Host issues this command when advertising is enabled for the specified advertising set, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the Host issues this command when periodic advertising is enabled for the specified advertising set and connectable, scannable, legacy, or anonymous advertising is specified, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If periodic advertising is enabled for the advertising set and the Secondary_Advertising_PHY parameter does not specify the PHY currently being used for the periodic advertising, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the Advertising_Handle does not identify an existing advertising set and the Controller is unable to support a new advertising set at present, the Controller shall return the error code Memory Capacity Exceeded (0x07).
If the advertising set already contains advertising data or scan response data, extended advertising is being used, and the length of the data is greater than the maximum that the Controller can transmit within the longest possible auxiliary advertising segment consistent with the parameters, the Controller shall return the error code Packet Too Long (0x45). If advertising on the LE Coded PHY, the S=8 coding shall be assumed unless the current advertising parameters require the use of S=2 for an advertising physical channel, in which case the S=2 coding shall be assumed for that advertising physical channel.
If the Controller does not support the LE Feature (Advertising Coding Selection) and the Host does not set both Primary_Advertising_PHY_Options and Secondary_Advertising_PHY_Options to zero, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).

7.8.54. LE Set Extended Advertising Data command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Advertising_Data | 0x0037 | Advertising_Handle, Operation, Fragment_Preference, Advertising_Data_Length, Advertising_Data | Status |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Advertising_Data command is used to set the data used in advertising PDUs that have a data field. This command may be issued at any time after an advertising set identified by the Advertising_Handle parameter has been created using the HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Advertising_Parameters command (see Section 7.8.53), regardless of whether advertising in that set is enabled or disabled.
If advertising is currently enabled for the specified advertising set, the Controller shall use the new data in subsequent extended advertising events for this advertising set. If an extended advertising event is in progress when this command is issued, the Controller may use the old or new data for that event.
If advertising is currently disabled for the specified advertising set, the data shall be kept by the Controller and used once advertising is enabled for that set. The data shall be discarded when the advertising set is removed.
Only the significant part of the advertising data should be transmitted in the advertising packets as defined in [Vol 3] Part C, Section 11.
The Host may set the advertising data in one or more operations using the Operation parameter in the command. If the combined length of the data exceeds the capacity of the advertising set identified by the Advertising_Handle parameter (see Section 7.8.57 LE Read Maximum Advertising Data Length command) or the amount of memory currently available, all the data shall be discarded and the Controller shall return the error code Memory Capacity Exceeded (0x07).
If the advertising set uses extended advertising and the combined length of the data is greater than the maximum that the Controller can transmit within the longest possible auxiliary advertising segment consistent with the current parameters of the advertising set (using the current advertising interval if advertising is enabled), all the data shall be discarded and the Controller shall return the error code Packet Too Long (0x45). If advertising on the LE Coded PHY, the S=8 coding shall be assumed unless the current advertising parameters require the use of S=2 for an advertising physical channel, in which case the S=2 coding shall be assumed for that advertising physical channel.
If Operation indicates the start of new data (values 0x01 or 0x03), then any existing partial or complete advertising data shall be discarded.
If the advertising data is discarded by the command or the combined length of the data after the command completes is zero, the advertising set will have no advertising data.
If Operation is 0x04, the behavior is the same as if the current advertising data had been sent again; this can be used to cause the Advertising DID value to be updated (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.4.2.11).
The Fragment_Preference parameter provides a hint to the Controller as to whether advertising data should be fragmented.
If the advertising set specifies a type that does not support advertising data, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the advertising set uses legacy advertising PDUs that support advertising data and either Operation is not 0x03 or the Advertising_Data_Length parameter exceeds 31 octets, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If Operation is 0x04 and:
advertising is currently disabled for the advertising set;
the advertising set contains no data;
the advertising set uses legacy PDUs; or
Advertising_Data_Length is not zero;
then the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If Operation is not 0x03 or 0x04 and Advertising_Data_Length is zero, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If advertising is currently enabled for the specified advertising set and Operation does not have the value 0x03 or 0x04, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the advertising set corresponding to the Advertising_Handle parameter does not exist, then the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Advertising Identifier (0x42).

7.8.55. LE Set Extended Scan Response Data command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Scan_Response_Data | 0x0038 | Advertising_Handle, Operation, Fragment_Preference, Scan_Response_Data_Length, Scan_Response_Data | Status |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Scan_Response_Data command is used to provide scan response data used in scanning response PDUs. This command may be issued at any time after the advertising set identified by the Advertising_Handle parameter has been created using the HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Advertising_Parameters command (see Section 7.8.53) regardless of whether advertising in that set is enabled or disabled.
If advertising is currently enabled for the specified advertising set, the Controller shall use the new data in subsequent extended advertising events for this advertising set. If an extended advertising event is in progress when this command is issued, the Controller may use the old or new data for that event.
If advertising is currently disabled for the specified advertising set, the data shall be kept by the Controller and used once advertising is enabled for that set. The data shall be discarded when the advertising set is removed.
Only the significant part of the scan response data should be transmitted in the advertising packets as defined in [Vol 3] Part C, Section 11.
The Host may set the scan response data in one or more operations using the Operation parameter in the command. If the combined length of the data exceeds the capacity of the advertising set identified by the Advertising_Handle parameter (see Section 7.8.57 LE Read Maximum Advertising Data Length command) or the amount of memory currently available, all the data shall be discarded and the Controller shall return the error code Memory Capacity Exceeded (0x07).
If Operation indicates the start of new data (values 0x01 or 0x03), then any existing partial or complete scan response data shall be discarded.
If the scan response data is discarded by the command or the combined length of the data after the command completes is zero, the advertising set will have no scan response data.
The Fragment_Preference parameter provides a hint to the Controller as to whether advertising data should be fragmented.
If the advertising set is non-scannable and the Host uses this command other than to discard existing data, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12). If the advertising set uses scannable legacy advertising PDUs and either Operation is not 0x03 or the Scan_Response_Data_Length parameter exceeds 31 octets, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If Operation is not 0x03 and Scan_Response_Data_Length is zero, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If advertising is currently enabled for the specified advertising set and Operation does not have the value 0x03, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the advertising set uses extended advertising and the combined length of the data is greater than the maximum that the Controller can transmit within the longest possible auxiliary advertising segment consistent with the current parameters of the advertising set (using the current advertising interval if advertising is enabled), all the data shall be discarded and the Controller shall return the error code Packet Too Long (0x45). If advertising on the LE Coded PHY, the S=8 coding shall be assumed unless the current advertising parameters require the use of S=2 for an advertising physical channel, in which case the S=2 coding shall be assumed for that advertising physical channel.
If the advertising set uses scannable extended advertising PDUs, advertising is currently enabled for the specified advertising set, and Scan_Response_Data_Length is zero, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the advertising set corresponding to the Advertising_Handle parameter does not exist, then the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Advertising Identifier (0x42).

7.8.56. LE Set Extended Advertising Enable command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Advertising_Enable | 0x0039 | Enable, Num_Sets, Advertising_Handle[i], Duration[i], Max_Extended_Advertising_Events[i] | Status |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Advertising_Enable command is used to request the Controller to enable or disable one or more advertising sets using the advertising sets identified by the Advertising_Handle[i] parameter. The Controller manages the timing of advertisements in accordance with the advertising parameters given in the HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Advertising_Parameters command. The Num_Sets parameter is the number of advertising sets contained in the parameter arrays. If Enable and Num_Sets are both set to 0x00, then all advertising sets are disabled.
The Controller shall only start an advertising event when the corresponding advertising set is enabled. The Controller shall continue advertising until all advertising sets have been disabled. An advertising set shall be disabled when the Host issues an HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Advertising_Enable command with the Enable parameter set to 0x00 (Advertising is disabled), a connection is created using that advertising set, the duration specified in the Duration[i] parameter expires, or the number of extended advertising events transmitted for the set exceeds the Max_Extended_Advertising_Events[i] parameter.
The Duration[i] parameter indicates the duration for which that advertising set is enabled. The duration begins at the start of the first advertising event of this advertising set. The Controller should not start an extended advertising event that it cannot complete within the duration.
If the advertising is high duty cycle connectable directed advertising, then Duration[i] shall be less than or equal to 1.28 seconds and shall not be equal to 0.
The Max_Extended_Advertising_Events[i] parameter, if non-zero, indicates the maximum number of extended advertising events that shall be sent prior to disabling the extended advertising set even if the Duration[i] parameter has not expired.
Duration[i] and Max_Extended_Advertising_Events[i] shall be ignored when Enable is set to 0x00.
If the HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Advertising_Enable command is sent again for an advertising set while that set is enabled, the timer used for the duration and the number of events counter are reset and any change to the random address shall take effect.
Disabling the advertising set identified by the Advertising_Handle[i] parameter does not disable any periodic advertising associated with that set.
Disabling an advertising set that is already disabled has no effect.
If the same advertising set is identified by more than one entry in the Advertising_Handle[i] arrayed parameter, then the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the advertising set corresponding to the Advertising_Handle[i] parameter does not exist, then the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Advertising Identifier (0x42).
The remainder of this section only applies if Enable is set to 0x01.
If Num_Sets is set to 0x00, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the advertising set contains partial advertising data or partial scan response data, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the advertising set uses scannable extended advertising PDUs and no scan response data is currently provided, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the advertising set uses connectable extended advertising PDUs and the advertising data in the advertising set will not fit in the AUX_ADV_IND PDU, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
Note
Note: The maximum amount of data that will fit in the PDU depends on which options are selected and on the maximum length of PDU that the Controller is able to transmit.
If extended advertising is being used and the length of any advertising data or of any scan response data is greater than the maximum that the Controller can transmit within the longest possible auxiliary advertising segment consistent with the chosen advertising interval, the Controller shall return the error code Packet Too Long (0x45). If advertising on the LE Coded PHY, the S=8 coding shall be assumed unless the current advertising parameters require the use of S=2 for an advertising physical channel, in which case the S=2 coding shall be assumed for that advertising physical channel.
If the advertising set's Own_Address_Type parameter is set to 0x00 and the device does not have a public address, the Controller should return an error code which should be Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the advertising set's Own_Address_Type parameter is set to 0x01 and the random address for the advertising set has not been initialized using the HCI_LE_Set_Advertising_Set_Random_Address command, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the advertising set's Own_Address_Type parameter is set to 0x02, the Controller's resolving list did not contain a matching entry, and the device does not have a public address, the Controller should return an error code which should be Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the advertising set's Own_Address_Type parameter is set to 0x03, the Controller's resolving list did not contain a matching entry, and the random address for the advertising set has not been initialized using the HCI_LE_Set_Advertising_Set_Random_Address command, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).

Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Advertising_Enable command has completed, an HCI_Command_Complete event shall be generated.
If the Duration[i] parameter is set to a value other than 0x0000, an HCI_LE_Advertising_Set_Terminated event shall be generated when the duration specified in the Duration[i] parameter expires. However, if the advertising set is for high duty cycle connectable directed advertising and no connection is created before the duration expires, an HCI_LE_Connection_Complete or HCI_LE_Enhanced_Connection_Complete event with the Status parameter set to the error code Advertising Timeout (0x3C) may be generated instead of or in addition to the HCI_LE_Advertising_Set_Terminated event. If the Controller generates both events, they may be in either order.
If the Max_Extended_Advertising_Events[i] parameter is set to a value other than 0x00, an HCI_LE_Advertising_Set_Terminated event shall be generated when the maximum number of extended advertising events has been transmitted by the Controller.
If the advertising set is connectable and a connection gets created, an HCI_LE_Connection_Complete or HCI_LE_Enhanced_Connection_Complete event shall be generated followed by an HCI_LE_Advertising_Set_Terminated event with the Status parameter set to 0x00. The Controller should not send any other events in between these two events. If the Controller supports the LE Channel Selection Algorithm #2 feature, then the HCI_LE_Advertising_Set_Terminated event may be immediately preceded or followed by an HCI_LE_Channel_Selection_Algorithm event.
Note
Note: If this command is used to disable advertising at about the same time that a connection is established or the advertising duration expires, there is a possible race condition in that it is possible to receive both an HCI_LE_Connection_Complete, HCI_LE_Enhanced_Connection_Complete, or HCI_LE_Advertising_Set_Terminated event and the HCI_Command_Complete event for this command.

HCI_LE_Set_Periodic_Advertising_Parameters [v1] | 0x003E | Advertising_Handle, Periodic_Advertising_Interval_Min, Periodic_Advertising_Interval_Max, Periodic_Advertising_Properties | Status |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Periodic_Advertising_Parameters command is used by the Host to set the parameters for periodic advertising.
The Advertising_Handle parameter identifies the advertising set whose periodic advertising parameters are being configured. If the corresponding advertising set does not already exist, then the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Advertising Identifier (0x42).
The Periodic_Advertising_Interval_Min parameter shall be less than or equal to the Periodic_Advertising_Interval_Max parameter. The Periodic_Advertising_Interval_Min and Periodic_Advertising_Interval_Max parameters should not be the same value to enable the Controller to determine the best advertising interval given other activities.
If the periodic advertising interval range provided by the Host (Periodic_Advertising_Interval_Min, Periodic_Advertising_Interval_Max) does not overlap with the periodic advertising interval range supported by the Controller, then the Controller shall return an error which should use the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
The Periodic_Advertising_Properties parameter indicates which fields should be included in the advertising packet.
The Num_Subevents parameter identifies the number of subevents that shall be transmitted for each periodic advertising event. If the Num_Subevents parameter value is 0x00, then the Subevent_Interval, Response_Slot_Delay, Response_Slot_Spacing, and Num_Response_Slots parameters shall be ignored.
The Subevent_Interval parameter identifies the time between the subevents of PAwR. The Subevent_Interval shall be less than or equal to the Periodic_Advertising_Interval_Min divided by the Num_Subevents of the advertising set.
The Response_Slot_Delay parameter identifies the time between the start of the advertising packet at the start of a subevent and the start of the first response slot. The Response_Slot_Delay shall be less than the Subevent_Interval.
The Response_Slot_Spacing parameter identifies the time between the start of two consecutive response slots. The Response_Slot_Spacing shall be less than or equal to 10 × (Subevent_Interval - Response_Slot_Delay) / Num_Response_Slots. If the Num_Response_Slots parameter is set to 1, then the Controller shall ignore the Response_Slot_Spacing parameter.
The Num_Response_Slots parameter identifies the number of response slots in a subevent. If the Num_Response_Slots parameter value is 0x00, then the Response_Slot_Delay and Response_Slot_Spacing parameters shall be ignored.
If the advertising set identified by the Advertising_Handle specified scannable, connectable, legacy, or anonymous advertising, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the Host issues this command when periodic advertising is enabled for the specified advertising set, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the Advertising_Handle does not identify an advertising set that is already configured for periodic advertising and the Controller is unable to support more periodic advertising at present, the Controller shall return the error code Memory Capacity Exceeded (0x07).
If the advertising set already contains periodic advertising data and the length of the data is greater than the maximum that the Controller can transmit within a periodic advertising interval of Periodic_Advertising_Interval_Max, the Controller shall return the error code Packet Too Long (0x45). If advertising on the LE Coded PHY, the S=8 coding shall be assumed unless the current advertising parameters require the use of S=2 for an advertising physical channel, in which case the S=2 coding shall be assumed for that advertising physical channel.

Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Set_Periodic_Advertising_Data | 0x003F | Advertising_Handle, Operation, Advertising_Data_Length, Advertising_Data | Status |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Periodic_Advertising_Data command is used to set the data used in periodic advertising PDUs. This command may be issued at any time after the advertising set identified by the Advertising_Handle parameter has been configured for periodic advertising using the HCI_LE_Set_Periodic_Advertising_Parameters command (see Section 7.8.61), regardless of whether periodic advertising in that set is enabled or disabled. If the advertising set has not been configured for periodic advertising, then the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If periodic advertising is currently enabled for the specified advertising set, the Controller shall use the new data in subsequent periodic advertising events for this advertising set. If a periodic advertising event is in progress when this command is issued, the Controller may use the old or new data for that event.
If periodic advertising is currently disabled for the specified advertising set, the data shall be kept by the Controller and used once periodic advertising is enabled for that set. The data shall be discarded when the advertising set is removed.
Only the significant part of the periodic advertising data should be transmitted in the advertising packets as defined in [Vol 3] Part C, Section 11.
The Host may set the periodic advertising data in one or more operations using the Operation parameter in the command. If the combined length of the data exceeds the capacity of the advertising set identified by the Advertising_Handle parameter (see Section 7.8.57 LE Read Maximum Advertising Data Length command) or the amount of memory currently available, all the data shall be discarded and the Controller shall return the error code Memory Capacity Exceeded (0x07).
If the combined length of the data is greater than the maximum that the Controller can transmit within the current periodic advertising interval (if periodic advertising is currently enabled) or the Periodic_Advertising_Interval_Max for the advertising set (if currently disabled), all the data shall be discarded and the Controller shall return the error code Packet Too Long (0x45). If advertising on the LE Coded PHY, the S=8 coding shall be assumed unless the current advertising parameters require the use of S=2 for an advertising physical channel, in which case the S=2 coding shall be assumed for that advertising physical channel.
If Operation indicates the start of new data (values 0x01 or 0x03), then any existing partial or complete data shall be discarded.
If Operation is 0x04, then the behavior is the same as if the current periodic advertising data had been sent again; this can be used to cause the Advertising DID value to be updated (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.4.2.11).
If Operation is 0x04 and:
periodic advertising is currently disabled for the advertising set;
the periodic advertising set contains no data; or
Advertising_Data_Length is not zero;
then the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If Operation is not 0x03 or 0x04 and Advertising_Data_Length is zero, then the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the periodic advertising data is discarded by the command or the combined length of the data after the command completes is zero, the advertising set will have no periodic advertising data.
If periodic advertising is currently enabled for the specified advertising set and Operation does not have the value 0x03 or 0x04, then the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the advertising set corresponding to the Advertising_Handle parameter does not exist, then the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Advertising Identifier (0x42).

7.8.63. LE Set Periodic Advertising Enable command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Set_Periodic_Advertising_Enable | 0x0040 | Enable, Advertising_Handle | Status |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Periodic_Advertising_Enable command is used to request the Controller to enable or disable the periodic advertising for the advertising set specified by the Advertising_Handle parameter (ordinary advertising is not affected).
If the advertising set is not currently enabled (see the HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Advertising_Enable command), the periodic advertising is not started until the advertising set is enabled. Once the advertising set has been enabled, the Controller shall continue periodic advertising until the Host issues an HCI_LE_Set_Periodic_Advertising_Enable command with bit 0 of Enable set to 0 (periodic advertising is disabled). Disabling the advertising set has no effect on the periodic advertising once the advertising set has been enabled.
The Controller manages the timing of advertisements in accordance with the advertising parameters given in the HCI_LE_Set_Periodic_Advertising_Parameters command.
If the advertising set corresponding to the Advertising_Handle parameter does not exist, the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Advertising Identifier (0x42).
If bit 0 of Enable is set to 1 (periodic advertising is enabled) and the advertising set contains partial periodic advertising data, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If bit 0 of Enable is set to 1 and the Host has not issued the HCI_LE_Set_Periodic_Advertising_Parameters command for the advertising set, the Controller shall either use vendor-specified parameters or return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If bit 0 of Enable is set to 1 and the length of the periodic advertising data is greater than the maximum that the Controller can transmit within the chosen periodic advertising interval, the Controller shall return the error code Packet Too Long (0x45). If advertising on the LE Coded PHY, the S=8 coding shall be assumed unless the current advertising parameters require the use of S=2 for an advertising physical channel, in which case the S=2 coding shall be assumed for that advertising physical channel.
If bit 0 of Enable is set to 1 and the advertising set identified by the Advertising_Handle specified scannable, connectable, legacy, or anonymous advertising, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If bit 0 of Enable is set to 0 and the Controller supports the Periodic Advertising ADI Support feature, then the Controller shall ignore bit 1.
If bit 1 of Enable is set to 1 and the Controller does not support the Periodic Advertising ADI Support feature, the Controller shall return an error which should use the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
Enabling periodic advertising when it is already enabled can cause the random address to change. Disabling periodic advertising when it is already disabled has no effect.

HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Scan_Parameters | 0x0041 | Own_Address_Type, Scanning_Filter_Policy, Scanning_PHYs, Scan_Type[i], Scan_Interval[i], Scan_Window[i] | Status |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Scan_Parameters command is used to set the extended scan parameters to be used on the advertising physical channels.
The Scanning_PHYs parameter indicates the PHY(s) on which the advertising packets should be received on the primary advertising physical channel. The Host may enable one or more scanning PHYs. If the Host specifies a PHY that is not supported by the Controller, including a bit that is reserved for future use, it should return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11). The Scan_Type[i], Scan_Interval[i], and Scan_Window[i] parameters array elements are ordered in the same order as the set bits in the Scanning_PHY parameter, starting from bit 0. The number of array elements is determined by the number of bits set in the Scanning_PHY parameter.
The Scan_Type[i] parameter specifies the type of scan to perform.
The Scan_Interval[i] and Scan_Window[i] parameters are recommendations from the Host on how long (Scan_Window[i]) and how frequently (Scan_Interval[i]) the Controller should scan (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.4.3); however the frequency and length of the scan is implementation specific. If the requested scan cannot be supported by the implementation, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
The Own_Address_Type parameter indicates the type of address being used in the scan request packets.
If the Host issues this command when scanning is enabled in the Controller, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
Command parameters:
Own_Address_Type: | Size: 1 octet |
Value | Parameter Description |

7.8.65. LE Set Extended Scan Enable command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Scan_Enable | 0x0042 | Enable, Filter_Duplicates, Duration, Period | Status |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Scan_Enable command is used to enable or disable scanning for both legacy and extended advertising PDUs.
The Enable parameter determines whether scanning is enabled or disabled. If it is set to 0x00, the remaining parameters shall be ignored.
If Enable is set to 0x01 and the Host has not issued the HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Scan_Parameters command, the Controller shall either use vendor-specified parameters or return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
The Filter_Duplicates parameter controls whether the Link Layer should filter out duplicate advertising reports (filtering duplicates enabled) to the Host or if the Link Layer should generate advertising reports for each packet received (filtering duplicates disabled). See [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.4.3.5.
If the Filter_Duplicates parameter is set to 0x00, all advertisements received from advertisers shall be sent to the Host in advertising report events.
If the Filter_Duplicates parameter is set to 0x01, duplicate advertisements should not be sent to the Host in advertising report events until scanning is disabled.
If the Filter_Duplicates parameter is set to 0x02, duplicate advertisements in a single scan period should not be sent to the Host in advertising report events; this setting shall only be used if both Period and Duration are non-zero. If Filter_Duplicates is set to 0x02 and either Period or Duration to zero, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the Duration parameter is zero or both the Duration parameter and Period parameter are non-zero, the Controller shall continue scanning until scanning is disabled by the Host issuing an HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Scan_Enable command with the Enable parameter set to 0x00 (Scanning is disabled). The Period parameter shall be ignored when the Duration parameter is zero.
If the Duration parameter is non-zero and the Period parameter is zero, the Controller shall continue scanning until the duration specified in the Duration parameter has expired.
If both the Duration and Period parameters are non-zero and the Duration is greater than or equal to the Period, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
When the Duration and Period parameters are non-zero, the Controller shall scan for the duration of the Duration parameter within a scan period specified by the Period parameter. After the scan period has expired, a new scan period shall begin and scanning shall begin again for the duration specified. The scan periods continue until the Host disables scanning.
If the HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Scan_Enable command with Enable set to 0x01 is sent while scanning is already enabled, the timers used for duration and period are reset to the new parameter values and a new scan period is started. Any change to the Filter_Duplicates setting or the random address shall take effect.
Disabling scanning when it is disabled has no effect.
Note
Note: The duration of a scan period refers to the time spent scanning on both the primary and secondary advertising physical channels. However, expiry of the duration does not prevent the Link Layer from scanning for and receiving auxiliary packets of received advertisements.
If Enable is set to 0x01, the scanning parameters' Own_Address_Type parameter is set to 0x00 or 0x02, and the device does not have a public address, the Controller should return an error code which should be Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If Enable is set to 0x01, the scanning parameters' Own_Address_Type parameter is set to 0x01 or 0x03, and the random address for the device has not been initialized using the HCI_LE_Set_Random_Address command, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).

Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Scan_Enable command has completed, an HCI_Command_Complete event shall be generated.
Zero or more LE Extended Advertising Reports are generated by the Controller based on any advertising packets received and the duplicate filtering in effect. More than one advertising packet may be reported in each HCI_LE_Extended_Advertising_Report event.
At the end of a single scan (Duration non-zero but Period zero), an HCI_LE_Scan_Timeout event shall be generated.
7.8.66. LE Extended Create Connection command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Extended_Create_Connection [v2] | 0x85 | Advertising_Handle, Subevent, Initiator_Filter_Policy, Own_Address_Type, Peer_Address_Type, Peer_Address, Initiating_PHYs, Scan_Interval[i] Scan_Window[i] Connection_Interval_Min[i], Connection_Interval_Max[i], Max_Latency[i], Supervision_Timeout[i], Min_CE_Length[i], Max_CE_Length[i] | none |
HCI_LE_Extended_Create_Connection [v1] | 0x0043 | Initiator_Filter_Policy, Own_Address_Type, Peer_Address_Type, Peer_Address, Initiating_PHYs, Scan_Interval[i], Scan_Window[i], Connection_Interval_Min[i], Connection_Interval_Max[i], Max_Latency[i], Supervision_Timeout[i], Min_CE_Length[i], Max_CE_Length[i] | none |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Extended_Create_Connection command is used to create an ACL connection, with the local device in the Central role, to a connectable advertiser. The command is also used to create an ACL connection between a periodic advertiser and a synchronized device.
If a connection is created with the local device in the Peripheral role while this command is pending, then this command remains pending.
The Advertising_Handle parameter is used to identify the periodic advertising train.
The Subevent parameter is used to identify the subevent where a connection request shall be initiated from a periodic advertising train.
The Advertising_Handle and Subevent parameters shall be set to 0xFF if these parameters are not used.
If the Advertising_Handle and Subevent parameters are set to valid values, then the Initiator_Filter_Policy, Initiating_PHYs, Scan_Interval[i], and Scan_Window[i] parameters shall be ignored.
The Initiator_Filter_Policy parameter is used to determine whether the Filter Accept List is used. If the Filter Accept 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.
The Own_Address_Type parameter indicates the type of address being used in the connection request packets.
The Peer_Address_Type parameter indicates the type of address used in the connectable advertisement sent by the peer.
The 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.
The Initiating_PHYs parameter indicates the PHY(s) on which the advertising packets should be received on the primary advertising physical channel and the PHYs for which connection parameters have been specified. The Host may enable one or more initiating PHYs. If the Host specifies a PHY that is not supported by the Controller, including a bit that is reserved for future use, the latter should return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11). The array elements of the arrayed parameters are ordered in the same order as the set bits in the Initiating_PHYs parameter, starting from bit 0. The number of array elements is determined by the number of bits set in the Initiating_PHYs parameter. When a connectable advertisement is received and a connection request is sent on one PHY, scanning on any other PHYs is terminated.
The Scan_Interval[i] and Scan_Window[i] parameters are recommendations from the Host on how long (Scan_Window[i]) and how frequently (Scan_Interval[i]) the Controller should scan (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.5.3); however the frequency and length of the scan is implementation specific. If the requested scan cannot be supported by the implementation, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12). If bit 1 is set in Initiating_PHYs, the values for the LE 2M PHY shall be ignored.
The Connection_Interval_Min[i] and Connection_Interval_Max[i] parameters define the minimum and maximum allowed connection interval. The Connection_Interval_Min[i] parameter shall not be greater than the Connection_Interval_Max[i] parameter.
The Max_Latency[i] parameter defines the maximum allowed Peripheral latency (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.5.1).
The Supervision_Timeout[i] parameter defines the link supervision timeout for the connection. The Supervision_Timeout[i] in milliseconds shall be larger than (1 + Max_Latency[i]) × Connection_Interval_Max[i] × 2, where Connection_Interval_Max[i] is given in milliseconds (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.5.2).
The Min_CE_Length[i] and Max_CE_Length[i] parameters provide the Controller with the expected minimum and maximum length of the connection events. The Min_CE_Length[i] parameter shall be less than or equal to the Max_CE_Length[i] parameter. The Controller is not required to use these values.
Where the connection is made on a PHY whose bit is not set in the Initiating_PHYs parameter, the Controller shall use the Connection_Interval_Min[i], Connection_Interval_Max[i], Max_Latency[i], Supervision_Timeout[i], Min_CE_Length[i], and Max_CE_Length[i] parameters for an implementation-chosen PHY whose bit is set in the Initiating_PHYs parameter.
If the Host issues this command when another HCI_LE_Extended_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 0x00 and the device does not have a public address, the Controller should return an error code which should be Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the Own_Address_Type parameter is set to 0x01 and the random address for the device has not been initialized using the HCI_LE_Set_Random_Address command, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the Own_Address_Type parameter is set to 0x02, the Initiator_Filter_Policy parameter is set to 0x00, the Controller's resolving list did not contain a matching entry, and the device does not have a public address, the Controller should return an error code which should be Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the Own_Address_Type parameter is set to 0x02, the Initiator_Filter_Policy parameter is set to 0x01, and the device does not have a public address, the Controller should return an error code which should be 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 using the HCI_LE_Set_Random_Address command, 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 using the HCI_LE_Set_Random_Address command, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the Initiating_PHYs parameter does not have at least one bit set for a PHY allowed for scanning on the primary advertising physical channel, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the Host issues this command and the Controller has insufficient resources to handle any more connections, the Controller shall return the error code Connection Rejected due to Limited Resources (0x0D).

Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the Controller receives the HCI_LE_Extended_Create_Connection command, the Controller sends the HCI_Command_Status event to the Host. An HCI_LE_Enhanced_Connection_Complete event shall be generated when a connection is created because of this command or the connection creation procedure is cancelled; until the event is generated, the command is considered pending. If a connection creation is discarded, then the error code Connection Failed to be Established / Synchronization Timeout (0x3E) shall be used. If a connection is created, this event shall be immediately followed by an HCI_LE_Channel_Selection_Algorithm event.
7.8.67. LE Periodic Advertising Create Sync command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Periodic_Advertising_Create_Sync | 0x0044 | Options, Advertising_SID, Advertiser_Address_Type, Advertiser_Address, Skip, Sync_Timeout, Sync_CTE_Type | none |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Periodic_Advertising_Create_Sync command is used to synchronize with a periodic advertising train from an advertiser and begin receiving periodic advertising packets.
This command may be issued whether or not scanning is enabled and scanning may be enabled and disabled (see the LE Set Extended Scan Enable command) while this command is pending. However, synchronization can only occur when scanning is enabled. While scanning is disabled, no attempt to synchronize will take place.
The Options parameter is used to determine whether the Periodic Advertiser List is used, whether HCI_LE_Periodic_Advertising_Report events for this periodic advertising train are initially enabled or disabled, and whether duplicate reports are filtered or not. If the Periodic Advertiser List is not used, the Advertising_SID, Advertiser Address_Type, and Advertiser Address parameters specify the periodic advertising device to listen to; otherwise they shall be ignored.
The Advertising_SID parameter, if used, specifies the value that shall match the Advertising SID subfield in the ADI field of the received advertisement for it to be used to synchronize.
The Skip parameter specifies the maximum number of consecutive periodic advertising events that the receiver may skip after successfully receiving a periodic advertising packet.
The Sync_Timeout parameter specifies the maximum permitted time between successful receives. If this time is exceeded, synchronization is lost.
The Sync_CTE_Type parameter specifies whether to only synchronize to periodic advertising with certain types of Constant Tone Extension (a value of 0 indicates that the presence or absence of a Constant Tone Extension is irrelevant). If the periodic advertising has the wrong type of Constant Tone Extension then:
If bit 0 of Options is set, the Controller shall ignore this address and SID and continue to search for other periodic advertisements.
Otherwise, the Controller shall cancel the synchronization with the error code Unsupported Remote Feature (0x1A).
If the periodic advertiser changes the type of Constant Tone Extension after the scanner has synchronized with the periodic advertising, the scanner's Link Layer shall remain synchronized.
If the Host sets all the non-reserved bits of the Sync_CTE_Type parameter to 1, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
Irrespective of the value of the Skip parameter, the Controller should stop skipping packets before the Sync_Timeout would be exceeded.
If the Host issues this command when another HCI_LE_Periodic_Advertising_Create_Sync command is pending, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the Host issues this command with bit 0 of Options not set and with Advertising_SID, Advertiser_Address_Type, and Advertiser_Address the same as those of a periodic advertising train that the Controller is already synchronized to, the Controller shall return the error code Connection Already Exists (0x0B).
If the Host issues this command and the Controller has insufficient resources to handle any more periodic advertising trains, the Controller shall return the error code Memory Capacity Exceeded (0x07).
If bit 1 of Options is set to 1 and the Controller supports the Periodic Advertising ADI Support feature, then the Controller shall ignore bit 2.
If bit 1 of Options is set to 0, bit 2 is set to 1, and the Controller does not support the Periodic Advertising ADI Support feature, then the Controller shall return an error which should use the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
If bit 1 of the Options parameter is set to 1 and the Controller does not support the HCI_LE_Set_Periodic_Advertising_Receive_Enable command, the Controller shall return the error code Connection Failed to be Established / Synchronization Timeout (0x3E).

Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Write_RF_Path_Compensation | 0x004D | RF_TX_Path_Compensation_Value, RF_RX_Path_Compensation_Value | Status |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Write_RF_Path_Compensation command is used to indicate the RF path gain or loss between the RF transceiver and the antenna contributed by intermediate components. A positive value means a net RF path gain and a negative value means a net RF path loss. The RF_TX_Path_Compensation_Value parameter shall be used by the Controller to calculate the radiative Tx power level used in HCI commands, HCI events, Advertising physical channel PDUs, and Link Layer Control PDUs using the following equation:
Radiative Tx power level = Tx power level at RF transceiver output + RF_TX_Path_Compensation_Value
For example, if the Tx power level is +4 (dBm) at RF transceiver output and the RF_TX_Path_Compensation_Value is -1.5 (dB), the radiative Tx power level is +4+(-1.5) = 2.5 (dBm).
The RF_RX_Path_Compensation_Value parameter shall be used by the Controller to calculate the RSSI value reported to the Host using the following equation:
Rx power level at RF transceiver input = Rx power level at antenna + RF_RX_Path_Compensation_Value
For example, if the Rx power level is -45 (dBm) at RF transceiver input and the RF_RX_Path_Compensation_Value is -3.2 (dB), the Rx power level at antenna is -41.8 (dBm).
The default values for the RF path compensation are vendor-specific.
This command can be issued at any time. If this command is issued during an ongoing over-the-air RF activity, the Controller may apply the Tx path compensation immediately or after a vendor-specific delay.
The Controller shall apply a change to the Tx path compensation value either by leaving the power at the transceiver output unchanged and altering the radiative Tx power level or by altering the power at the transceiver output to maintain any previously chosen radiative Tx power level.
If the Host needs to maintain a specific radiative transmit power level for an advertising set, it should disable that set before issuing this command then, after the command completes, reissue the HCI_LE_Set_Extended_Advertising_Parameters command for that set and then re-enable it.
Command parameters:

Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the HCI_LE_Write_RF_Path_Compensation command has completed, an HCI_Command_Complete event shall be generated.
If the command leads to a change in the local radiative transmit power level for an LE ACL connection, then the Controller shall generate an HCI_LE_Transmit_Power_Reporting event if local reporting is enabled and initiate a Link Layer Power Change Indication procedure if remote reporting is enabled.

---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Set_Connectionless_CTE_Transmit_Parameters | 0x0051 | Advertising_Handle, CTE_Length, CTE_Type, CTE_Count, Switching_Pattern_Length , Antenna_IDs[i] | Status |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Connectionless_CTE_Transmit_Parameters command is used to set the type, length, and antenna switching pattern for the transmission of Constant Tone Extensions in any periodic advertising on the advertising set identified by the Advertising_Handle parameter.
The CTE_Count parameter specifies how many packets with a Constant Tone Extension are to be transmitted in each periodic advertising event. If the number of packets that would otherwise be transmitted is less than this, the Controller shall transmit sufficient AUX_CHAIN_IND PDUs with no AdvData to make up the number. However, if a change in circumstances since this command was issued means that the Controller can no longer schedule all of these packets, it should transmit as many as possible.
If the Host issues this command when Constant Tone Extensions have been enabled in the advertising set, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
The Switching_Pattern_Length and Antenna_IDs[i] parameters are only used when transmitting an AoD Constant Tone Extension and shall be ignored if CTE_Type specifies an AoA Constant Tone Extension.
If the CTE_Length parameter is greater than the maximum length of Constant Tone Extension supported, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
If the Host requests a type of Constant Tone Extension that the Controller does not support, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
If the Controller is unable to schedule CTE_Count packets in each event, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
If the advertising set corresponding to the Advertising_Handle parameter does not exist, the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Advertising Identifier (0x42).
If Switching_Pattern_Length is greater than the maximum length of switching pattern supported by the Controller (see Section 7.8.87), the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
If the Controller determines that any of the Antenna_IDs[i] values do not identify an antenna in the device's antenna array, it shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
Note
Note: Some Controllers may be unable to determine which values do or do not identify an antenna.

Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Set_Connectionless_CTE_Transmit_Enable | 0x0052 | Advertising_Handle, CTE_Enable | Status |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Connectionless_CTE_Transmit_Enable command is used to request that the Controller enables or disables the use of Constant Tone Extensions in any periodic advertising on the advertising set identified by Advertising_Handle.
In order to start sending periodic advertisements containing a Constant Tone Extension, the Host must also enable periodic advertising using the HCI_LE_Set_Periodic_Advertising_Enable command (see Section 7.8.63).
Note
Note: Periodic advertising can only be enabled when advertising is enabled on the same advertising set, but can continue after advertising has been disabled.
If the Host issues this command before it has issued the HCI_LE_Set_Periodic_Advertising_Parameters command (see Section 7.8.61) for the advertising set, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
Once enabled, the Controller shall continue advertising with Constant Tone Extensions until either one of the following occurs:
The Host issues an HCI_LE_Set_Connectionless_CTE_Transmit_Enable command with CTE_Enable set to 0x00 (disabling Constant Tone Extensions but allowing periodic advertising to continue).
The Host issues an HCI_LE_Set_Periodic_Advertising_Enable command (see Section 7.8.63) with Enable set to 0x00 (disabling periodic advertising). If periodic advertising is re-enabled then it shall continue to contain Constant Tone Extensions.
If the Host issues this command before it has issued the HCI_LE_Set_Connectionless_CTE_Transmit_Parameters command for the advertising set, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the periodic advertising is on a PHY that does not allow Constant Tone Extensions, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the advertising set corresponding to the Advertising_Handle parameter does not exist, the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Advertising Identifier (0x42).
The Host may issue this command when advertising or periodic advertising is enabled in the advertising set.

HCI_LE_Set_Connectionless_IQ_Sampling_Enable | 0x0053 | Sync_Handle, Sampling_Enable, Slot_Durations, Max_Sampled_CTEs, Switching_Pattern_Length, Antenna_IDs[i] | Status, Sync_Handle |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Connectionless_IQ_Sampling_Enable command is used to request that the Controller enables or disables capturing IQ samples from the Constant Tone Extension of periodic advertising packets in the periodic advertising train identified by the Sync_Handle parameter. If that periodic advertising train does not exist, then the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Advertising Identifier (0x42).
The Max_Sampled_CTEs parameter specifies the maximum number of Constant Tone Extensions in each periodic advertising event that the Controller should collect and report IQ samples from. The Controller should sample all Constant Tone Extensions up to this number.
If the Sampling_Enable parameter is set to 0x01 (sampling is enabled), the Controller starts attempting to capture IQ samples from the periodic advertisements.
Once sampling has been enabled, the Controller shall continue taking IQ samples until the Host issues an HCI_LE_Set_Connectionless_IQ_Enable command with Sampling_Enable set to 0x00 (sampling is disabled) or synchronization with the periodic advertising train is lost.
If Sampling_Enable is set to 0x00, Slot_Durations, Max_Sampled_CTEs, Switching_Pattern_Length, and Antenna_IDs shall be ignored.
The command is also used to set the antenna switching pattern and switching and sampling slot durations to be used while receiving the Constant Tone Extension.
If Slot_Durations is set to 0x01 and the Controller does not support 1 µs switching and sampling, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
The Slot_Durations, Switching_Pattern_Length, and Antenna_IDs parameters are only used when receiving an AoA Constant Tone Extension and do not affect the reception of an AoD Constant Tone Extension.
If Switching_Pattern_Length is greater than the maximum length of switching pattern supported by the Controller, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
If the Controller determines that any of the Antenna_IDs[i] values do not identify an antenna in the device's antenna array, it shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
Note
Note: Some Controllers may be unable to determine which values do or do not identify an antenna.
If Sampling_Enable is set to 0x01 and the periodic advertising is on a PHY that does not allow Constant Tone Extensions, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).

7.8.85. LE Connection CTE Request Enable command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Connection_CTE_Request_Enable | 0x0056 | Connection_Handle, Enable, CTE_Request_Interval, Requested_CTE_Length, Requested_CTE_Type | Status, Connection_Handle |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Connection_CTE_Request_Enable command is used to request the Controller to start or stop initiating the Constant Tone Extension Request procedure (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 5.1.12) on a connection identified by the Connection_Handle parameter.
If the Host issues this command when the Controller is aware (e.g. through a previous feature exchange) that the peer device's Link Layer does not support the Connection CTE Response feature, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Remote Feature (0x1A). If the Host issues this command when the Controller is aware that the peer device's Link Layer does not support the requested CTE type, the Controller should return the error code Unsupported Remote Feature (0x1A).
If Enable is set to 0x00, the remaining parameters shall be ignored. Any Constant Tone Extension Request procedures that have already been initiated are not affected.
The CTE_Request_Interval parameter defines whether the Constant Tone Extension Request procedure is initiated only once or periodically. In the case of periodic operation, the procedure is initiated every CTE_Request_Interval. However, the Controller may delay initiating the procedure beyond the requested interval (e.g., in order to prioritize other activities).
The Requested_CTE_Length parameter indicates the minimum length of the Constant Tone Extension and the Requested_CTE_Type parameter indicates the type of Constant Tone Extension that the Controller shall request from the remote device.
A request is active on a connection from when the Host issues a successful command with Enable set to 0x01 until a command with Enable set to 0x00 has succeeded or, if CTE_Request_Interval was set to zero, until the single Link Layer procedure has been performed, whichever happens first.
If the Host issues this command with Enable set to 0x01 while a request is active for the specified connection, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
Note
Note: The failed command will not affect the behavior of the Link Layer in respect of the currently-active request.
If the Host issues this command before issuing the HCI_LE_Set_Connection_CTE_Receive_Parameters command at least once on the connection, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the Host issues this command when the receiver PHY for the connection is not a PHY that allows Constant Tone Extensions, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the Host sets CTE_Request_Interval to a non-zero value less than connSubrateFactor × (connPeripheralLatency +1), the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If Enable is set to 0x01 and the receiver PHY for the connection changes to a PHY that does not allow Constant Tone Extensions, then the Controller shall automatically disable Constant Tone Extension requests as if the Host had issued this command with Enable set to 0x00.
Note
Note: If the PHY changes back to a PHY that allows Constant Tone Extensions, then the Controller will not automatically re-enable Constant Tone Extension requests.

---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Set_Periodic_Advertising_Sync_Transfer_Parameters | 0x005C | Connection_Handle, Mode, Skip, Sync_Timeout, CTE_Type | Status, Connection_Handle |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Periodic_Advertising_Sync_Transfer_Parameters command is used to specify how the Controller will process periodic advertising synchronization information received from the device identified by the Connection_Handle parameter (the "transfer mode").
The Mode parameter specifies the action to be taken when periodic advertising synchronization information is received. If Mode is 0x00, the Controller will ignore the information. Otherwise it will notify the Host and synchronize to the periodic advertising. Mode also specifies whether periodic advertising reports are initially enabled or disabled and whether duplicates are filtered.
The Skip parameter specifies the number of consecutive periodic advertising packets that the receiver may skip after successfully receiving a periodic advertising packet.
The Sync_Timeout parameter specifies the maximum permitted time between successful receives. If this time is exceeded, synchronization is lost.
Irrespective of the value of the Skip parameter, the Controller should stop skipping packets before the Sync_Timeout would be exceeded.
The CTE_Type parameter specifies whether to only synchronize to periodic advertising with certain types of Constant Tone Extension. If the periodic advertiser changes the type of the Constant Tone Extension after the Controller has synchronized with the periodic advertising, it shall remain synchronized.
Note
Note: A value of 0 (i.e. all bits clear) indicates that the presence or absence of a Constant Tone Extension is irrelevant.
This command does not affect any processing of any periodic advertising synchronization information already received from the peer device, whether or not the Controller has yet synchronized to the periodic advertising train it describes.
The parameter values provided by this command override those provided via the HCI_LE_Set_Default_Periodic_Advertising_Sync_Transfer_Parameters command ( Section 7.8.92) or any preferences previously set using the HCI_LE_Set_Periodic_Advertising_Sync_Transfer_Parameters command on the same connection.
If the Connection_Handle parameter does not identify a current connection, the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Connection Identifier (0x02).
If the Host sets Mode to 0x03 and the Controller does not support the Periodic Advertising ADI Support feature, then the Controller shall return an error which should use the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).

If the periodic advertiser changes the type of the Constant Tone Extension after the Controller has synchronized with the periodic advertising, it shall remain synchronized.
Note
Note: A value of 0 (i.e. all bits clear) indicates that the presence or absence of a Constant Tone Extension is irrelevant.
This command does not affect any existing connection.
If the Host sets Mode to 0x03 and the Controller does not support the Periodic Advertising ADI Support feature, then the Controller shall return an error which should use the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).

Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_CIG_Parameters command is used by a Central’s Host to create a CIG and to set the parameters of one or more CISes that are associated with a CIG in the Controller.
The CIG_ID parameter identifies a CIG. This parameter is allocated by the Central’s Host and passed to the Peripheral’s Host through the Link Layers during the process of creating a CIS. If the CIG_ID does not exist, then the Controller shall first create a new CIG. Once the CIG is created (whether through this command or previously), the Controller shall modify or add CIS configurations in the CIG that is identified by the CIG_ID and update all the parameters that apply to the CIG.
The SDU_Interval_C_To_P parameter specifies the time interval between the start of consecutive SDUs from the Central’s Host for all the CISes in the CIG. This parameter shall be ignored for all CISes that are unidirectional from Peripheral to Central.
The SDU_Interval_P_To_C parameter specifies the time interval between the start of consecutive SDUs from the Peripheral’s Host for all the CISes in the CIG. This parameter shall be ignored for all CISes that are unidirectional from Central to Peripheral.
The Worst_Case_SCA parameter shall be the worst-case sleep clock accuracy of all the Peripherals that will participate in the CIG. The Host should get the sleep clock accuracy from all the Peripherals before issuing this command. If the Host cannot get the sleep clock accuracy from all the Peripherals, it shall set the Worst_Case_SCA parameter to zero.
Note
Note: The Worst_Case_SCA parameter can be used by the Link Layer to better allow for clock drift when scheduling the CISes in the CIG. For example, if a CIS has more than two subevents, the Link Layer of the Central can set the timing of the subevents such that the worst case drift in the Peripheral's clock will not exceed 2 × Sub_Interval. This prevents the Peripheral from synchronizing its timing to the wrong subevent (adjacent subevents cannot be on the same channel).
The Packing parameter indicates the preferred method of arranging subevents of multiple CISes. The subevents can be arranged in Sequential or Interleaved arrangement (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.5.14.2). This is a recommendation to the Controller which the Controller may ignore. This parameter shall be ignored when there is only one CIS in the CIG.
The Framing parameter indicates the format of the CIS Data PDUs of the specified CISes. If the Framing parameter is set to 1 then the CIS Data PDUs of the specified CISes shall be framed. If the Framing parameter is set to 0 the CIS Data PDUs of a given CIS may be either unframed or framed (determined separately for each specified CIS) (see [Vol 6] Part G, Section 1).
The Max_Transport_Latency_C_To_P parameter contains the maximum transport latency from the Central to the Peripheral, in milliseconds, as described in [Vol 6] Part G, Section 3.2.1 and [Vol 6] Part G, Section 3.2.2. This parameter shall be ignored for all CISes that are unidirectional from Peripheral to Central.
The Max_Transport_Latency_P_To_C parameter contains the maximum transport latency from the Peripheral to the Central, in milliseconds, as described in [Vol 6] Part G, Section 3.2.1 and [Vol 6] Part G, Section 3.2.2. This parameter shall be ignored for all CISes that are unidirectional from Central to Peripheral.
The CIS_Count parameter indicates the number of CIS configurations being modified or added by this command. The Controller shall set the CIS_Count return parameter equal to this.
The CIS_ID[i] parameter identifies a CIS and is set by the Central’s Host and passed to the Peripheral’s Host through the Link Layers during the process of establishing a CIS.
The Max_SDU_C_To_P[i] parameter identifies the maximum size of an SDU from the Central’s Host. If the CIS is unidirectional from Peripheral to Central, this parameter shall be set to 0. If a CIS configuration that is being modified has a data path set in the Central to Peripheral direction and the Host has specified that Max_SDU_C_To_P[i] shall be set to zero, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
The Max_SDU_P_To_C[i] parameter identifies the maximum size of an SDU from the Peripheral’s Host. If the CIS is unidirectional from Central to Peripheral, this parameter shall be set to 0. If a CIS configuration that is being modified has a data path set in the Peripheral to Central direction and the Host has specified that Max_SDU_P_To_C[i] shall be set to zero, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
The PHY_C_To_P[i] parameter identifies which PHY to use for transmission from the Central to the Peripheral. The Host shall set at least one bit in this parameter and the Controller shall pick a PHY from the bits that are set.
The PHY_P_To_C[i] parameter identifies which PHY to use for transmission from the Peripheral to the Central. The Host shall set at least one bit in this parameter and the Controller shall pick a PHY from the bits that are set.
The RTN_C_To_P[i] (Retransmission Number) parameter contains the number of times that a CIS Data PDU should be retransmitted from the Central to Peripheral before being acknowledged or flushed (irrespective of which CIS events the retransmission opportunities occur in). If the CIS is unidirectional from Peripheral to Central, this parameter shall be ignored. Otherwise, this parameter is a recommendation to the Controller which the Controller may ignore.
The RTN_P_To_C[i] parameter contains the number of times that a CIS Data PDU should be retransmitted from the Peripheral to Central before being acknowledged or flushed (irrespective of which CIS events the retransmission opportunities occur in). If the CIS is unidirectional from Central to Peripheral, this parameter shall be ignored. Otherwise, this parameter is a recommendation to the Controller which the Controller may ignore.
In each direction, if the Controller satisfies the recommendation, then every PDU will have at least RTN+1 opportunities for transmission (assuming that the initial transmission of that PDU happens at the earliest allowed subevent). The RTN value indicates that the Host is recommending that the Controller selects a combination of CIS parameters that satisfy the inequality:
If the Status return parameter is non-zero, then the state of the CIG and its CIS configurations shall not be changed by the command. If the CIG did not already exist, it shall not be created.
If the Status return parameter is zero, then the Controller shall set the Connection_Handle arrayed return parameter to the connection handle(s) corresponding to the CIS configurations specified in the CIS_IDs command parameter, in the same order. If the same CIS_ID is being reconfigured, the same connection handle shall be returned.
The connection handle of a CIS shall refer to the CIS when it exists and to the configuration of the CIS stored in a CIG when the CIG exists but the CIS with that CIS_ID does not.
If the Host issues this command when the CIG is not in the configurable state, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the Host attempts to create a CIG or set parameters that exceed the maximum supported resources in the Controller, the Controller shall return the error code Memory Capacity Exceeded (0x07).
If the Host attempts to set CIS parameters that exceed the maximum supported connections in the Controller, the Controller shall return the error code Connection Limit Exceeded (0x09).
If the Host sets, in the PHY_C_To_P[i] or PHY_P_To_C[i] parameters, a bit for a PHY that the Controller does not support, including a bit that is reserved for future use, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
If the Controller does not support asymmetric PHYs and the Host sets PHY_C_To_P[i] to a different value than PHY_P_To_C[i], the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
If the Host specifies an invalid combination of CIS parameters, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12) or the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11); it should return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).

Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_CIG_Parameters_Test command should only be used for testing purposes.
The command is used by a Central’s Host to create a CIG and to set the parameters of one or more CISes that are associated with a CIG in the Controller.
The CIG_ID parameter identifies a CIG. This parameter is allocated by the Central’s Host and passed to the Peripheral’s Host through the Link Layers during the process of creating a CIS. If the CIG_ID does not exist, then the Controller shall first create a new CIG. Once the CIG is created (whether through this command or previously), the Controller shall modify or add CIS configurations in the CIG that is identified by the CIG_ID and update all the parameters that apply to the CIG.
The SDU_Interval_C_To_P parameter specifies the time interval of periodic SDUs from the Central’s Host.
The SDU_Interval_P_To_C parameter specifies the time interval of periodic SDUs from the Peripheral’s Host.
The FT_C_To_P parameter identifies the maximum time for a payload from the Central to Peripheral to be transmitted and re-transmitted, after which it is flushed (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.5.13.5). This parameter is expressed in multiples of ISO_Interval.
The FT_P_To_C parameter identifies the maximum time for a payload from the Peripheral to Central to be transmitted and re-transmitted, after which it is flushed (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.5.13.5). This parameter is expressed in multiples of ISO_Interval.
The ISO_Interval parameter specifies the time between two consecutive CIS anchor points.
The CIS_Count parameter contains the number of CIS configurations being added or modified by this command. The Controller shall set the CIS_Count return parameter equal to this.
The CIS_ID[i] parameter identifies the CIS and is set by the Central’s Host and passed to the Peripheral’s Host through the Link Layers during the process of establishing a CIS.
The Worst_Case_SCA parameter is the worst-case sleep clock accuracy of all the Peripherals that will participate in the CIG. The Host should get the sleep clock accuracy from all the Peripherals before issuing this command. In case the Host cannot get the sleep clock accuracy from all the Peripherals, it shall set the Worst_Case_SCA parameter to zero.
Note
Note: The Worst_Case_SCA parameter can be used by the Link Layer to better allow for clock drift when scheduling the CISes in the CIG. For example, if a CIS has more than two subevents, the Link Layer of the Central can set the timing of the subevents such that the worst case drift in the Peripheral's clock will not exceed 2 × Sub_Interval. This prevents the Peripheral from synchronizing its timing to the wrong subevent (adjacent subevents cannot be on the same channel).
The Packing parameter is used to indicate the preferred method of arranging subevents of multiple CISes. The subevents can be arranged in Sequential or Interleaved arrangement. This is a recommendation to the Controller which it may ignore. This parameter shall be ignored when there is only one CIS in the CIG.
The Framing parameter indicates the format of the CIS Data PDUs of all the CISes. If the Framing parameter is set to 1 then the CIS Data PDUs of the specified CISes shall be framed, and when set to 0 they shall be unframed (see [Vol 6] Part G, Section 1).
The CIS_ID[i] parameter is used to identify a CIS.
The NSE[i] parameter identifies the maximum number of subevents for each CIS in a CIG event.
The Max_SDU_C_To_P[i] parameter identifies the maximum size of SDU from the Central’s Host. If the CIS is unidirectional from Peripheral to Central, this parameter shall be set to 0. If a CIS configuration that is being modified has a data path set in the Central to Peripheral direction and the Host has specified that Max_SDU_C_To_P[i] shall be set to zero, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C). The minimum value of the Max_SDU_Size parameter in the ISO Transmit Test mode when the Payload_Type = 1 or 2 shall be 4 octets.
The Max_SDU_P_To_C[i] parameter identifies the maximum size of SDU from the Peripheral’s Host. If the CIS is unidirectional from Central to Peripheral, this parameter shall be set to 0. If a CIS configuration that is being modified has a data path set in the Peripheral to Central direction and the Host has specified that Max_SDU_P_To_C[i] shall be set to zero, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).The minimum value of the Max_SDU parameter in the ISO Transmit Test mode when the Payload_Type = 1 or 2 shall be 4 octets.
The Max_PDU_C_To_P[i] parameter identifies the maximum size PDU from the Central to Peripheral.
The Max_PDU_P_To_C[i] parameter identifies the maximum size PDU from the Peripheral to Central.
The PHY_C_To_P[i] parameter identifies the PHY to be used for transmission of packets from the Central to the Peripheral. The Host shall set only one bit in this parameter and the Controller shall use the PHY set by the Host.
The PHY_P_To_C[i] parameter identifies the PHY to be used for transmission of packets from the Peripheral to the Central. The Host shall set only one bit in this parameter and the Controller shall use the PHY set by the Host.
The BN_C_To_P[i] parameter identifies the burst number for Central to Peripheral (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.5.13). If the CIS is unidirectional from Peripheral to Central, this parameter shall be set to zero.
The BN_P_To_C[i] parameter identifies the burst number for Peripheral to Central (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.5.13). If the CIS is unidirectional from Central to Peripheral, this parameter shall be set to zero.
If the Status return parameter is non-zero, then the state of the CIG and its CIS configurations shall not be changed by the command. If the CIG did not already exist, it shall not be created.
If the Status return parameter is zero, then the Controller shall set the Connection_Handle arrayed return parameter to the connection handle(s) corresponding to the CIS configurations specified in the CIS_IDs command parameter, in the same order. If the same CIS_ID is being reconfigured, the same connection handle shall be returned.
If the Host issues this command when the CIG is not in the configurable state, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the Host attempts to create a CIG or set parameters that exceed the maximum supported resources in the Controller, the Controller shall return the error code Memory Capacity Exceeded (0x07).
If the Host attempts to set CIS parameters that exceed the maximum supported connections in the Controller, the Controller shall return the error code Connection Limit Exceeded (0x09).
If the Host attempts to set an invalid combination of CIS parameters, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12) or the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11); it should return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the Host sets, in the PHY_C_To_P[i] or PHY_P_To_C[i] parameters, a bit for a PHY that the Controller does not support, including a bit that is reserved for future use, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
If the Controller does not support asymmetric PHYs and the Host sets PHY_C_To_P[i] to a different value than PHY_P_To_C[i], the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).

7.8.99. LE Create CIS command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Create_CIS | 0x0064 | CIS_Count, CIS_Connection_Handle[i], ACL_Connection_Handle[i] | none |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Create_CIS command is used by the Central’s Host to create one or more CISes using the connections identified by the ACL_Connection_Handle arrayed parameter.
The CIS_Count parameter is the total number of CISes created by this command.
The CIS_Connection_Handle[i] parameter specifies the connection handle corresponding to the configuration of the CIS to be created and whose configuration is already stored in a CIG.
The ACL_Connection_Handle[i] parameter specifies the connection handle of the ACL connection associated with each CIS to be created. The list of the ACL_Connection_Handles shall be in the same order as the list of the CIS_Connection_Handles e.g., CIS_Connection_Handle[1] will connect to the Peripheral associated with the ACL_Connection_Handle[1].
If this command is issued on the Central before the devices have performed the Feature Exchange procedure, then the Controller shall complete that procedure before initiating the Connected Isochronous Stream Creation procedure (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 5.1.15).
If any ACL_Connection_Handle[i] is not the handle of an existing ACL connection or any CIS_Connection_Handle[i] is not the handle of a CIS or CIS configuration, the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Connection Identifier (0x02).
If the Host attempts to create a CIS that has already been created, the Controller shall return the error code Connection Already Exists (0x0B).
If two different elements of the CIS_Connection_Handle arrayed parameter identify the same CIS, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the Host issues this command before all the HCI_LE_CIS_Established events from the previous use of the command have been generated, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the Host issues this command on an ACL_Connection_Handle where the Controller is the Peripheral, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
Note: The order of the CIS connection handles in this command does not relate to the order of connection handles in the return parameters of the HCI_LE_Set_CIG_Parameters command or the HCI_LE_Set_CIG_Parameters_Test command.
If the Host issues this command when the Connected Isochronous Stream (Host Support) feature bit (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.6.27) is not set, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the Host specified an invalid combination of parameters in the HCI_LE_Set_CIG_Parameters or HCI_LE_Set_CIG_Parameters_Test command that created the CIS configuration, but the Controller could not detect the problem without knowing the properties of the ACL connection associated with the CIS, then the Controller shall return an error which should use the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
Note
Note: If an error is reported in the HCI_Command_Status event, it means that no CIS is created and the Host cannot determine which CIS had the error. Therefore, in the case of an error that only affects one CIS of several, reporting the error in the HCI_LE_CIS_Established event for that CIS means that the remaining CISes are still created and the Host can determine which CIS had the error.
Command parameters:
CIS_Count: | Size: 1 octet |

7.8.103. LE Create BIG command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Create_BIG | 0x0068 | BIG_Handle, Advertising_Handle, Num_BIS, SDU_Interval, Max_SDU, Max_Transport_Latency, RTN, PHY, Packing, Framing, Encryption, Broadcast_Code | none |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Create_BIG command is used to create a BIG with one or more BISes (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.4.6). All BISes in a BIG have the same value for all parameters.
The BIG_Handle contains the identifier of the BIG. This parameter is allocated by the Host and used by the Controller and the Host to identify a BIG.
The Advertising_Handle identifies the associated periodic advertising train of the BIG (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.4.5.1).
The Num_BIS parameter contains the total number of BISes in the BIG.
The SDU_Interval parameter contains the time interval of the periodic SDUs.
The Max_SDU parameter contains the maximum size of an SDU.
The Max_Transport_Latency parameter is the maximum transport latency (in milliseconds) as described in [Vol 6] Part G, Section 3.2.1 and [Vol 6] Part G, Section 3.2.2. This includes pre-transmissions.
The RTN (Retransmission Number) parameter contains the number of times every PDU should be retransmitted, irrespective of which BIG events the retransmissions occur in. This is a recommendation to the Controller which the Controller may ignore.
The PHY parameter is a bit field that indicates the PHY used for transmission of PDUs of BISes in the BIG. The Host shall set at least one bit in this parameter and the Controller shall pick a PHY from the bits set. If the Host sets, in the PHY parameter, a bit for a PHY that the Controller does not support, including a bit that is reserved for future use, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
The Packing parameter is used to indicate the preferred method of arranging subevents of multiple BISes. The subevents can be arranged in Sequential or Interleaved arrangement. This is a recommendation to the Controller which it may ignore. This parameter shall be ignored when there is only one BIS in the BIG.
The Framing parameter indicates the format for sending BIS Data PDUs. If the Framing parameter is set to 1 then BIS Data PDUs shall be Framed and when set to 0 they may be unframed (see [Vol 6] Part G, Section 1).
The Encryption parameter identifies the encryption mode of the BISes. If the Encryption parameter is set to 1 (encrypted), the Broadcast_Code is used in the encryption of payloads (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.4.6.10).
The Broadcast_Code parameter is used to generate the encryption key for encrypting payloads of all BISes. When the Encryption parameter is set to 0 (unencrypted), the Broadcast_Code parameter shall be set to zero by the Host and ignored by the Controller.
If the Controller cannot create all BISes of the BIG or if Num_BIS exceeds the maximum value supported by the Controller, it shall return the error code Connection Rejected due to Limited Resources (0x0D).
If the Advertising_Handle does not identify a periodic advertising train or the periodic advertising train is associated with another BIG, the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Advertising Identifier (0x42).
If the Host issues this command with a BIG_Handle for a BIG that is already created, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the Host specifies an invalid combination of BIG parameters, the Controller shall return an error which should use the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the length of the associated periodic advertising, with the BIGInfo added to the ACAD, is greater than the maximum that the Controller can transmit within the periodic advertising interval, then the Controller shall return an error and should use the error code Packet Too Long (0x45). If advertising on the LE Coded PHY, then the S=8 coding shall be assumed unless the current advertising parameters require the use of S=2 for an advertising physical channel, in which case the S=2 coding shall be assumed for that advertising physical channel.

7.8.104. LE Create BIG Test command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Create_BIG_Test | 0x0069 | BIG_Handle, Advertising_Handle, Num_BIS, SDU_Interval, ISO_Interval, NSE, Max_SDU, Max_PDU, PHY, Packing, Framing, BN, IRC, PTO, Encryption, Broadcast_Code | none |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Create_BIG_Test command should only be used for testing purposes.
The command is used to create one or more BISes of a BIG (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.4.6). All BISes in the BIG have the same values for all parameters.
The BIG_Handle contains the identifier of the BIG. This parameter is allocated by the Host and used by the Controller and the Host to identify a BIG.
The Advertising_Handle identifies the associated periodic advertising train of the BIG.
The Num_BIS parameter contains the total number of BISes in the BIG.
The SDU_Interval parameter specifies the time interval of the periodic SDUs.
The ISO_Interval parameter contains the time duration between two consecutive BIG anchor points.
The NSE (Number of SubEvents) parameter contains the total number of subevents that are used to transmit BIS Data PDUs for each BIS in a BIG event. The NSE parameter shall be greater than or equal to IRC × BN.
The Max_SDU parameter contains the maximum size, in octets, of an SDU. The minimum value of the Max_SDU parameter in the ISO Transmit Test mode when the Payload_Type = 1 or 2 shall be 4.
The Max_PDU parameter contains the maximum size of every BIS Data PDU for every BIS in the BIG.
The PHY parameter is a bit field that indicates the PHY used for transmission of PDUs of BISes in the BIG. The Host shall set only one bit in this parameter and the Controller shall use the PHY set by the Host. If the Host sets, in the PHY parameter, a bit for a PHY that the Controller does not support, including a bit that is reserved for future use, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
The Packing parameter indicates the preferred method of arranging subevents of multiple BISes. The subevents can be arranged in Sequential or Interleaved arrangement. This is a recommendation to the Controller which it may ignore. This parameter shall be ignored when there is only one BIS in the BIG.
The Framing parameter indicates the format of BIS Data PDUs. If the Framing parameter is set to 1 then BIS Data PDUs shall be Framed and when set to 0 the BIS Data PDUs shall be unframed (see [Vol 6] Part G, Section 1).
The BN (Burst Number) parameter contains the number of new payloads for each BIS in a BIS event.
The IRC (Immediate Repetition Count) parameter contains the number of times the scheduled data packet is transmitted (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.4.6). The IRC parameter shall be an integer in the range 1 to (NSE ÷ BN).
The PTO (Pre_Transmission_Offset) parameter contains the offset in number of ISO_Intervals for pre transmissions of data packets (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.4.6).
The Encryption parameter identifies the encryption mode of the BISes in the BIG. If the Encryption parameter is set to 1 (encrypted), the Broadcast_Code is used in the encryption of payloads (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.4.6).
The Broadcast_Code parameter is a 16-octet field that is used to generate the session key to encrypt payloads of all BISes in the BIG. When the Encryption parameter is set to 0 (unencrypted), all 16 octets of the Broadcast_Code parameter shall be set to zero by the Host and ignored by the Controller.
If the Controller cannot create all BISes of the BIG or if Num_BIS exceeds the maximum value supported by the Controller, it shall return the error code Connection Rejected due to Limited Resources (0x0D).
If the Advertising_Handle does not identify a periodic advertising train or the periodic advertising train is associated with another BIG, the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Advertising Identifier (0x42).
If the Host issues this command with a BIG_Handle for a BIG that is already created, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the value of the Max_PDU, NSE, BN, IRC or PTO parameters exceeds the values supported by the Controller, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
If the Host specifies an invalid combination of BIG parameters, the Controller shall return an error. If the value of the NSE parameter is not an integer multiple of BN, or NSE is less than (IRC × BN), or the parameters are not in the specified range, these errors shall use the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11). The errors in all other circumstances should use the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the length of the associated periodic advertising, with the BIGInfo added to the ACAD, is greater than the maximum that the Controller can transmit within the periodic advertising interval, then the Controller shall return an error and should use the error code Packet Too Long (0x45). If advertising on the LE Coded PHY, then the S=8 coding shall be assumed unless the current advertising parameters require the use of S=2 for an advertising physical channel, in which case the S=2 coding shall be assumed for that advertising physical channel.

---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_BIG_Create_Sync | 0x006B | BIG_Handle, Sync_Handle, Encryption, Broadcast_Code, MSE, BIG_Sync_Timeout, Num_BIS, BIS[i] | none |
Description:
The HCI_LE_BIG_Create_Sync command is used to synchronize to a BIG described in the periodic advertising train specified by the Sync_Handle parameter.
The BIG_Handle parameter is assigned by the Host to identify the synchronized BIG.
The Encryption parameter indicates whether the Broadcast_Code parameter is valid.
The Broadcast_Code parameter is a 16-octet field that is used to generate the session key to encrypt or decrypt payloads of an encrypted BIS. Broadcast_Code shall be ignored by the Controller if Encryption is set to 0x00.
If Encryption is set to 0x00 for an encrypted BIG or is set to 0x01 for an unencrypted BIG, then the Controller shall return the error Encryption Mode Not Acceptable (0x25).
The MSE (Maximum Subevents) parameter is the maximum number of subevents that a Controller should use to receive data payloads in each interval for a BIS.
The BIG_Sync_Timeout parameter specifies the maximum permitted time between successful receptions of BIS PDUs. If this time is exceeded, synchronization is lost. When the Controller establishes synchronization and if the BIG_Sync_Timeout set by the Host is less than 6 × ISO_Interval, the Controller shall set the timeout to 6 × ISO_Interval.
The Num_BIS parameter contains the number of BIS indices specified in the BIS arrayed parameter. The number of BISes requested may be a subset of the BISes available in the BIG.
The BIS arrayed parameter is a list of indices corresponding to BIS(es) in the synchronized BIG. The list of BIS indices shall be in ascending order and shall not contain any duplicates. This list of specified BIS(es) may be all or a subset of BISes available in the BIG.
If the Sync_Handle does not exist, the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Advertising Identifier (0x42).
If the Host sends this command with a BIG_Handle that is already allocated, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the information describing the BIG does not specify a PHY supported by the Controller or does not specify exactly one PHY, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
If the Num_BIS parameter is greater than the total number of BISes in the BIG, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
If the Host sends this command when the Controller is in the process of synchronizing to any BIG, i.e. the HCI_LE_BIG_Sync_Established event has not been generated, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the Controller is unable to receive PDUs from the specified number of BISes in the synchronized BIG, it shall return the error code Connection Rejected Due To Limited Resources (0x0D).

HCI_LE_Setup_ISO_Data_Path | 0x006E | Connection_Handle, Data_Path_Direction, Data_Path_ID, Codec_ID, Controller_Delay, Codec_Configuration_Length, Codec_Configuration | Status, Connection_Handle |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Setup_ISO_Data_Path command is used to identify and create the isochronous data path between the Host and the Controller for a CIS, CIS configuration, or BIS identified by the Connection_Handle parameter. This command can also be used to configure a codec for each data path. When a connection is created no data paths are set up for that connection.
The input and output directions are defined from the perspective of the Controller, so "input" refers to data flowing from the Host to the Controller.
If the Host issues this command more than once for the same Connection_Handle and direction before issuing the HCI_LE_Remove_ISO_Data_Path command for that Connection_Handle and direction, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the Host issues this command for a CIS on a Peripheral before it has issued the HCI_LE_Accept_CIS_Request command for that CIS, then the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
The Data_Path_Direction parameter specifies the direction for which the data path is being configured.
The Data_Path_ID parameter specifies the data transport path used. When set to 0x00, the data path shall be over the HCI transport. When set to a value in the range 0x01 to 0xFE, the data path shall use a vendor-specific transport interface (e.g., a PCM interface) with logical transport numbers. The meanings of these logical transport numbers are vendor-specific.
If the Host issues this command for a vendor-specific data transport path that has not been configured, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the Host attempts to set a data path with a Connection Handle that does not exist or that is not for a CIS, CIS configuration, or BIS, the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Connection Identifier (0x02).
If the Host attempts to set an output data path using a connection handle that is for an Isochronous Broadcaster, for an input data path on a Synchronized Receiver, or for a data path for the direction on a unidirectional CIS where BN is set to 0, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
The Codec_ID parameter specifies the coding format used over the air.
When Data_Path_Direction is set to 0x00 (input), the Controller_Delay parameter specifies the delay at the data source from the reference time of an SDU to the CIG reference point (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.5.14.1) or BIG anchor point (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.4.6.4). When Data_Path_Direction is set to 0x01 (output), Controller_Delay specifies the delay from the SDU_Synchronization_Reference to the point in time at which the Controller begins to transfer the corresponding data to the data path interface. The Host should use the HCI_Read_Local_Supported_Controller_Delay command to obtain a suitable value for Controller_Delay.
Note
Note: Controller vendors may provide additional guidance to the Host on how to select a suitable Controller_Delay value from the range of values provided by the HCI_Read_Local_Supported_Controller_Delay command for various configurations of the data path interface.
The Codec_Configuration parameter specifies codec-specific configuration information for the specified direction.
If the Host issues this command with Codec_Configuration_Length non-zero and Codec_ID set to transparent air mode, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the Host issues this command with codec-related parameters that exceed the bandwidth and latency allowed on the established CIS or BIS identified by the Connection_Handle parameter, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).

---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Read_Remote_Transmit_Power_Level | 0x0077 | Connection_Handle, PHY | none |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Read_Remote_Transmit_Power_Level command is used to read the transmit power level used by the remote Controller on the ACL connection that is identified by the Connection_Handle parameter and the PHY indicated by the PHY parameter.
The local Controller may use the remote transmit power level value obtained from a prior Power Change Indication or Power Control Request procedure (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 5.1.17 and [Vol 6] Part B, Section 5.1.18). If the Controller chooses not to use these prior values, or if no prior value is available for one or more of the remote transmit power level, maximum transmit power level, or minimum transmit power level, the local Controller shall initiate a new Power Control Request procedure to obtain the remote transmit power level.
If the Host sets PHY to a value that the Controller does not support, including a value that is reserved for future use, the Controller shall return the error code Unsupported Feature or Parameter Value (0x11).
If the Connection_Handle parameter does not identify a current ACL connection, the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Connection Identifier (0x02).

HCI_LE_Set_Path_Loss_Reporting_Parameters | 0x0078 | Connection_Handle, High_Threshold, High_Hysteresis, Low_Threshold, Low_Hysteresis, Min_Time_Spent | Status, Connection_Handle |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Path_Loss_Reporting_Parameters command is used to set the path loss threshold reporting parameters for the ACL connection identified by the Connection_Handle parameter.
The path loss threshold-based mechanism is described in [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.5.16. For each zone boundary, the upwards boundary shall equal the threshold plus the hysteresis and the downwards boundary shall equal the threshold minus the hysteresis.
If the Host issues this command with High_Threshold+High_Hysteresis greater than 0xFF or with Low_Threshold less than Low_Hysteresis, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
If the Host issues this command with Low_Threshold greater than High_Threshold or with Low_Threshold+Low_Hysteresis greater than High_Threshold–High_Hysteresis, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).
The Min_Time_Spent parameter indicates the minimum time that the Controller shall observe the path loss has crossed the threshold before the Controller generates an event for the threshold crossing. The Host should specify a suitable value based on the connection interval, subrate factor, and Peripheral latency.
If the Host issues this command when path loss monitoring is enabled, the Controller shall override the existing path loss threshold reporting parameters with the parameters provided in this command.
The High_Threshold and the Low_Threshold parameters are common to all PHYs supported by the Controller. However, the Host can reissue this command with suitable parameters whenever a PHY switch is detected.
If the Connection_Handle parameter does not identify a current ACL connection, the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Connection Identifier (0x02).
Command parameters:
Connection_Handle: | Size: 2 octets (12 bits meaningful) |

Value | Parameter Description |
---|---|
0xXXXX | Connection_Handle Range: 0x0000 to 0x0EFF |
Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the HCI_LE_Set_Path_Loss_Reporting_Parameters command has completed, an HCI_Command_Complete event shall be generated.
If the Host issues this command when path loss monitoring is enabled, and if the new parameters mean that the path loss is now in a different zone, an HCI_LE_Path_Loss_Threshold event shall be generated as soon as possible irrespective of the Min_Time_Spent parameter and the timer shall be reset.
If the Host issues this command with High_Threshold parameter set to 0xFF, then the Controller shall not generate an HCI_LE_Path_Loss_Threshold event with Zone_Entered set to 0x02.
7.8.120. LE Set Path Loss Reporting Enable command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Set_Path_Loss_Reporting_Enable | 0x0079 | Connection_Handle, Enable | Status, Connection_Handle |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Path_Loss_Reporting_Enable command is used to enable or disable path loss reporting for the ACL connection identified by the Connection_Handle parameter.
If the Enable parameter is set to 0x01 and no prior LE Power Control Request procedure has been initiated on the ACL connection, then the Controller may need to initiate a new LE Power Control Request procedure on that ACL.
Path loss reporting is disabled when the connection is first created.
If the Host issues this command before it has issued the HCI_LE_Set_Path_Loss_Reporting_Parameters command on this connection, the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
If the Connection_Handle parameter does not identify a current ACL connection, the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Connection Identifier (0x02).
Enabling path loss monitoring when it is already enabled or disabling path loss monitoring when it is already disabled has no effect.

Event(s) generated (unless masked away):
When the HCI_LE_Set_Path_Loss_Reporting_Enable command has completed, an HCI_Command_Complete event shall be generated.
When reporting is enabled and was previously disabled, the Controller shall generate an HCI_LE_Path_Loss_Threshold event as soon as it has a reliable measurement of the path loss. If the Controller has to query the remote Controller for its transmit power level, then it shall generate this event within Tpath_loss_enable from the time it receives a response to its query. Otherwise, the Controller shall generate this event within Tpath_loss_enable from the time the command is issued. Tpath_loss_enable shall be Min_Time_Spent + 6 connection events or, if longer, 2 connection events where the Controller actually receives a packet from the peer, where Min_Time_Spent is specified by the HCI_LE_Set_Path_Loss_Reporting_Parameters command.
After the initial event on reporting being enabled, the Controller shall generate this event each time it determines that the path loss has moved to a different zone and stayed in that zone for Min_Time_Spent.As stated in [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.5.16, two consecutive events must not indicate the same zone.

7.8.124. LE Subrate Request command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Subrate_Request | 0x007E | Connection_Handle, Subrate_Min, Subrate_Max, Max_Latency, Continuation_Number, Supervision_Timeout | none |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Subrate_Request command is used by a Central or a Peripheral to request a change to the subrating factor and/or other parameters (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 4.5.1) applied to an existing connection using the Connection Subrate Update procedure.
The Subrate_Min and Subrate_Max parameters specify the range of acceptable subrating factors being requested.
The Max_Latency parameter specifies the maximum Peripheral latency in units of subrated connection events. The same maximum shall apply irrespective of the subrating factor actually chosen.
The Continuation_Number parameter specifies the number of underlying connection intervals to remain active after a packet (other than an empty packet) is transmitted or received.
The Supervision_Timeout parameter specifies the link supervision timeout for the connection. The Supervision_Timeout, in milliseconds, shall be greater than 2 × current connection interval × Subrate_Max × (Max_Latency + 1).
If this command is issued on the Central, the following rules shall apply when the Controller initiates the Connection Subrate Update procedure (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 5.1.19):
The Peripheral latency shall be less than or equal to Max_Latency.
The subrate factor shall be between Subrate_Min and Subrate_Max.
The continuation number shall be equal to the lesser of Continuation_Number and (subrate factor - 1).
The connection supervision timeout shall be equal to Supervision_Timeout.
If this command is issued on the Central, it also sets the acceptable parameters for requests from the Peripheral (see [Vol 6] Part B, Section 5.1.20). The acceptable parameters set by this command override those provided via the HCI_LE_Set_Default_Subrate command or any values set by previous uses of this command on the same connection.
If this command is issued on the Central before the devices have performed the Feature Exchange procedure, then the Controller shall complete that procedure before initiating the Connection Subrate Update procedure.
If this command is issued on the Peripheral, the following rules shall apply when the Controller initiates the Connection Subrate Request procedure:
The Peripheral latency shall be less than or equal to Max_Latency.
The minimum and maximum subrate factors shall be between Subrate_Min and Subrate_Max.
The continuation number shall be equal to the lesser of Continuation_Number and (maximum subrate factor - 1).
The connection supervision timeout shall be equal to Supervision_Timeout.
If the Connection_Handle parameter does not identify a current ACL connection, the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Connection Identifier (0x02).
If the Host issues this command with parameters such that Subrate_Max × (Max_Latency + 1) is greater than 500 or the current connection interval × Subrate_Max × (Max_Latency + 1) is greater than or equal to half the Supervision_Timeout parameter, the Controller shall return the error code Invalid HCI Command Parameters (0x12).

7.8.125. LE Set Periodic Advertising Subevent Data command
Command | OCF | Command Parameters | Return Parameters |
---|---|---|---|
HCI_LE_Set_Periodic_Advertising_Subevent_Data | 0x82 | Advertising_Handle, Num_Subevents, Subevent[i], Response_Slot_Start[i] Response_Slot_Count[i] Subevent_Data_Length[i], Subevent_Data[i] | Status, Advertising_Handle |
Description:
The HCI_LE_Set_Periodic_Advertising_Subevent_Data command is used by the Host to set the data for one or more subevents of PAwR in reply to an HCI_LE_Periodic_Advertising_Subevent_Data_Request event. The data for a subevent shall be transmitted only once.
The Advertising_Handle parameter identifies the advertising set whose periodic advertising subevent data is being set. If the corresponding advertising set does not already exist, then the Controller shall return the error code Unknown Advertising Identifier (0x42).
The Num_Subevents parameter is the number of subevent data contained in the parameter arrays.
The Subevent arrayed parameter identifies the subevent of the PAwR that is being set. If the Host provides a subevent value that is outside of the range of subevents requested using the HCI_LE_Periodic_Advertising_Subevent_Data_Request event, then the Controller shall return the error code Command Disallowed (0x0C).
The Response_Slot_Start and Response_Slot_Count arrayed parameters identify the starting response slot and the number of response slots that are expected to be used in this subevent.
The Subevent_Data_Length arrayed parameter determines the length of the Subevent_Data that is significant.
The Subevent_Data arrayed parameter contains the advertising data to be transmitted in the subevent of the advertising set. If the combined data length is greater than the maximum that the Controller can transmit within the current subevent interval, then all data shall be discarded and the Controller shall return the error code Packet Too Long (0x45). If advertising on the LE Coded PHY, then the S=8 coding shall be assumed unless the current advertising parameters require the use of S=2 for an advertising physical channel, in which case the S=2 coding shall be assumed for that advertising physical channel.
If the Subevent_Data cannot be transmitted because, for example, the subevent where this data would have been sent has already passed or is too early, then the Controller shall return the error code Too Late (0x46) or Too Early (0x47) and discard the data.

The Response_Data_Length specifies the length of the Response_Data that is significant.
The Response_Data contains the advertising data to be transmitted in the response slot. If the Response_Data_Length is greater than the maximum that the Controller can transmit within the response slot, then the Response_Data shall be discarded and the Controller shall return the error code Packet Too Long (0x45). If advertising on the LE Coded PHY, then the S=8 coding shall be assumed unless the current advertising parameters require the use of S=2 for an advertising physical channel, in which case the S=2 coding shall be assumed for that advertising physical channel.
If the response slot identified by the Response_Slot parameter has passed by the time this command is received by the Controller, the Controller shall return the error code Too Late (0x46) and discard the Response_Data parameter.
