Please provide the Bluetooth Rx sensitivity test via HCI commands

[Bill_123]

Dear Sir,

We want to test bluetooth rx sensitivity via HCI commands and not using BlueTool or cyBluetool or another Tool.

The package sending instrument is the IQxel.

The BlueTool is used and it gets "Total_Received_Packets = 0x10B (267) " but this is not I want to receive packets method. 

Below is our using commands (ref: "3.5 Fixed Frequency Receiver Test"

https://community.cypress.com/gfawx74859/attachments/gfawx74859/WICEDStudioBluetooth/3121/1/BT_Radio...)

1.hcitool -i hci0 cmd 0x03 0x003(HCI_Reset)

2.hcitool -i hci0 cmd 0x3F 0x52 0xEE 0xFF 0xC0 0x88 0x00 0x00 0xE8 0x03 0x28 0x04 0x00 0x0E 0xFF 0xFF(HCI_Reset)

Below is our test and using HCI command but we don’t get any received packet.

Could you have any suggestion for using  only HCI command to get count received  packets.

Hi @Bill_123 ,

The RX continuity test will require you to setup a Tx side where you send a particular payload to be received by the Rx side. This is explained in the document as well. Have you setup the tx side as well?

Dear Bragadeesh,

Thank you for the suggestion.

The  IQxel is our Tx side.How to set command that your suggestions?

Or we need using other Bluetooth device to connect and then using command that your suggestions.

How does Tx_Test command set the number of sent packets?

We want to know number of received packets.

example :

The 1000 packets is sent by IQxel(Tx side ) and 1000 is received by our device(Rx side).

Hi @Bill_123 ,

I'm not sure about the IQxel  device. You need to check their manual for the same.

Can you please let us know which BT device you are using as the receiver? 

Rx_Test and Tx_test are explained in the document pointed in your link. Tx_Test command parameters should exactly match to the corresponding settings given in the Rx_Test command for this test to work.

A simpler way to perform this test is to use another BT device as the transmitter where you can continuously transmit Tx packet of a selected data pattern which is governed by a specified frequency and a specified logical channel at a specified power level  and receiver's radio is set to camp on a specified frequency to receive these packets. While the test is running, the receiver BT device periodically sends reports about received packets. 

The tx_test doesn't limit the no. of packets that are sent out. It continuously sends out Tx packets as configured. 

This document also explains these tests in detail:

Dear Bragadeesh,

AW-CM390SM(CYW43455) is our BT device.

Where to set number of sending packet  for "Continuous transmit test" or "Radio TX test"?

We will study that your suggestion and appreciate your help very much.

Hi @Bill_123 , We can not set number of sending packet for Continuous transmit test" or "Radio TX test".
