8.6.3 Radio Control Notifications

As mentioned in Section 8.6 all radio control notifications are sent back on the Radio Control Interrupt (RCI) endpoint. If the device has multiple notifications pending when this endpoint is polled, then it must send all the notifications back together. The device must follow short packet semantics to complete a transfer. A host can filter the notifications that the device must send by using the Set Notification Filter command (see Section 8.6.2.9). Note that the maximum length of data that this endpoint can send is limited to 4K.

8.6.3.1 Application-specific Probe IE Received Notification

This notification informs the host that the device has received an Application-specific Probe IE from another device. The notification is sent back in an RCEB on the Radio Control Interrupt Endpoint.

The RCEB for this notification is given below.

The BeaconInfo field is an array including the MAC Header, Beacon Parameters, and all information elements for the received beacon. The length of the BeaconInfo array is specified in the wBeaconInfoLength field.

The bChannelNumber field is the PHY channel on which the beacon was received.

The relative offset to the Beacon Period Start Time (BPST) of the local device to the received beacon measured in microseconds is returned in the wBPSTOffset field and is equal to the value of STC at that time. This must be a value between 0 and 65535.

The Link Quality Indication value associated with the received beacon frame is specified the bLQI field. This is a value between 0 and 255.

The Received Signal Strength Indication value associated with the received beacon frame is returned in the bRSSI field.

8.6.3.5 BP Slot Change Notification

This notification informs the host that the local device has changed the slot it is sending out its beacon in. This notification must be sent in the following cases:

After a sending the device beacon the first time (after a successful Start Beaconing command)

Every time the device changes the slot it sends it’s beacon in due to contraction/expansion of the beacon period
