Bluetooth LE CIS configuration parameters

Since R2023b

    Description

    Use the bluetoothLECISConfig object to specify the connected isochronous stream (CIS) configuration parameters of a Bluetooth® low energy (LE) node. This object enables the bluetoothLENode object to support connected multistream audio.

    Creation

    Description

    cfgCIS = bluetoothLECISConfig creates a default Bluetooth LE CIS configuration object.

    cfgCIS = bluetoothLECISConfig(Name=Value) sets properties of the Bluetooth LE CIS configuration object by using one or more optional name-value arguments. For example, bluetoothLECISConfig(NumSubevents=2) sets the number of subevents in the CIS event to two.

    example

    Properties

    expand all

    Time between successive anchor points of a CIS, specified as a scalar in the range [0.005, 4]. Units are in seconds. Set this property as a multiple of 1.25 milliseconds.

    Because the connection events and CIS events in a Bluetooth LE network operate simultaneously at regular intervals, specify this property as ConnectionIntervalNumPeripherals. The ConnectionInterval value, specified by the ConnectionInterval property of the bluetoothLEConnectionConfig object, sets the interval between the start of two consecutive connection events. The NumPeripherals value specifies the total number of Peripheral nodes simulated in the network. For more information about this property, see Bluetooth Core Specification v5.3 [2], Volume 6, Part B, Section 4.5.13.1.

    Data Types: double

    Number of subevents in the CIS event, specified as an integer in the range [1, 31]. For more information about this property, see Bluetooth Core Specification v5.3 [2], Volume 6, Part B, Section 4.5.13.2.

    Data Types: double

    Time between the start of two consecutive subevents in CIS, specified as a scalar in the range [0.0004, 4]. Units are in seconds.

    • If you set the NumSubevents property to 1, this value must be 0.

    • If you set the NumSubevents property to a value other than 1, this value must be a scalar in the range [SubEventLength, ISOInterval]. To calculate the SubEventLength value in seconds, use the subeventLength object function.

    • If you set the CISArrangement property to "sequential":

      • The object internally generates this value.

      • This value must be greater than or equal to the SubEventLength value of the CIS.

      • The default value of this property is SubEventLength.

    • If you set the CISArrangement property to "interleaved":

      • Set this value greater than or equal to the SubEventLength value of all the CIS events in the connected isochronous group (CIG).

      • The default value of this property is the sum of all the subeventLength values of CIS events.

    Data Types: double

    Number of unique payloads in a CIS event, specified as an integer in the range [0,15] or a 1-by-2 vector. This property specifies the number of unique payloads for the host to transmit through the link layer (LL) to other nodes using the CIS events.

    • If you set this property as a vector, the first element specifies the burst number from the Central node to the Peripheral node, and the second element specifies the burst number from the Peripheral node to the Central node.

    • If you set this property as a scalar, the object uses the same burst number value in both directions.

    For more information about this property, see Bluetooth Core Specification v5.3 [2], Volume 6, Part B, Section 4.5.13.3.

    Data Types: double

    Maximum number of data octets that a CIS protocol data unit (PDU) can carry, specified as decimal octets in the range [0, 251] or a 1-by-2 vector. If the data octets contain a message integrity check, this property excludes it.

    • If you set this property as a vector, the first element specifies the maximum PDU size from the Central node to the Peripheral node, and the second element specifies the maximum PDU size from the Peripheral node to the Central node.

    • If you set this property as a scalar, the object uses the same maximum PDU size in both directions.

    For more information about this property, see Bluetooth Core Specification v5.3 [2], Volume 6, Part B, Section 4.5.13.3.

    Data Types: double

    Maximum number of CIS events to use to transmit and retransmit a payload, specified as an integer in the range [1, 255] or a 1-by-2 vector.

    • If you set this property as a vector, the first element specifies the flush timeout from the Central node to the Peripheral node, and the second element specifies the flush timeout from the Peripheral node to the Central node.

    • If you set this property as a scalar, the object uses the same flush timeout in both directions.

    This property enables you to specify the appropriate CIS event and subevent numbers at which the LL discards the payload associated with the CIS data PDU to prevent continuous retransmissions. For more information about this property, see Bluetooth Core Specification v5.3 [2], Volume 6, Part B, Section 4.5.13.3.

    Data Types: double

    Arrangement of CIS events, specified as "sequential" or "interleaved". If you set this property to "sequential", all the subevents of a CIS event occur simultaneously. If you set this property to "interleaved", the subevents corresponding to each CIS event are adjacent to each other. For more information about this property, see Bluetooth Core Specification v5.3 [2], Volume 6, Part B, Section 4.5.14.2.

    Simulate multistream audio in a Bluetooth LE piconet consisting of a Central node and two Peripheral nodes by using Bluetooth Toolbox and the Communications Toolbox™ Wireless Network Simulation Library.

    Using this example, you can:

    1. Create and configure a Bluetooth LE piconet consisting of a Central node and two Peripheral nodes.

    2. Establish asynchronous connection-oriented logical transport (ACL) and CIS connections between the Central node and the Peripheral nodes.

    3. Generate, configure, and add On-Off application traffic from the Central node to the Peripheral nodes.

    4. Simulate the scenario and visualize the statistics.

    Check if the Communications Toolbox Wireless Network Simulation Library support package is installed. If the support package is not installed, MATLAB® returns an error with a link to download and install the support package.
