PROTOCOLS

Central

Defined in fuchsia.bluetooth.le/central.fidl

GetPeripherals

Returns the list of peripherals that are known to the system from previous scan, connection, and/or bonding procedures. The results can be filtered based on service UUIDs that are known to be present on the peripheral.

This method only returns peripherals (i.e. connectable devices).

Request

Name	Type
`service_uuids`	`vector<string>?`

Response

Name	Type
`peripherals`	`vector<RemoteDevice>`

GetPeripheral

Returns information about a single peripheral that is known to the system from previous scan, connection, and/or bonding procedures based on its unique identifier. Returns null if identifier is not recognized.

Request

Name	Type
`identifier`	`string`

Response

Name	Type
`peripheral`	`RemoteDevice?`

StartScan

Initiates a scan session for nearby peripherals and broadcasters. Discovered devices will be reported via CentralDelegate.OnDeviceDiscovered(). If a scan session is already in progress, filter will replace the existing session's filter.

If filter is null or empty (i.e. none of its fields has been populated) then the delegate will be notified for all discoverable devices that are found. This is not recommended; clients should generally filter results by at least one of filter.service_uuids, filter.service_data, and/or filter.manufacturer_identifier.

Request

Name	Type
`filter`	`ScanFilter?`

Response

Name	Type
`status`	`fuchsia.bluetooth/Status`

StopScan

Terminate a previously started scan session.

Request

Name	Type

ConnectPeripheral

Creates a connection to the peripheral device with the given identifier. Returns the status of the operation in status.

On success, gatt_client will be bound and can be used for GATT client role procedures. On failure, gatt_client will be closed and status will indicate an error.

Request

Name	Type
`identifier`	`string`
`gatt_client`	`request<fuchsia.bluetooth.gatt/Client>`

Response

Name	Type
`status`	`fuchsia.bluetooth/Status`

DisconnectPeripheral

Disconnects this Central's connection to the peripheral with the given identifier.

Request

Name	Type
`identifier`	`string`

Response

Name	Type
`status`	`fuchsia.bluetooth/Status`

OnScanStateChanged

Called when the scan state changes, e.g. when a scan session terminates due to a call to Central.StopScan() or another unexpected condition.

Response

Name	Type
`scanning`	`bool`

OnDeviceDiscovered

Called for each peripheral/broadcaster that is discovered during a scan session. rssi contains the received signal strength of the advertising packet that generated this event, if available.

Response

Name	Type
`device`	`RemoteDevice`

OnPeripheralDisconnected

Called when this Central's connection to a peripheral with the given identifier is terminated.

Response

`identifier`	`string`

Connection

Defined in fuchsia.bluetooth.le/peer.fidl

Protocol that represents the connection to a peer. This can be used to interact with GATT services and establish L2CAP channels.

AdvertisingHandle

Defined in fuchsia.bluetooth.le/peripheral.fidl

Capability that is valid for the duration of advertising. The caller can close the handle to stop advertising. If the system internally stops advertising for any reason, the handle will be closed to communicate this to the client.

Peripheral

Defined in fuchsia.bluetooth.le/peripheral.fidl

StartAdvertising

Start advertising as a LE peripheral. An empty response is sent to indicate when advertising has successfully initiated. If advertising cannot be initiated, then the response will contain a PeripheralError.

This method can get called any number of times and successive calls can be made to reconfigure the advertising parameters. However only the most recent AdvertisingHandle will remain valid.

An instance of Peripheral can only have one active advertisement at a time. Clients must obtain multiple Peripheral instances for multiple simultaneous advertisements.

If the client closes its end of the AdvertisingHandle channel, advertising will be stopped. If the handle is closed before the request is fulfilled, advertising will be briefly enabled before it is terminated.

request parameters Parameters used while configuring the advertising instance.
request handle Handle that remains valid for the duration of this advertising session.

error Returns a PeripheralError if advertising cannot be initiated. In this case the handle will be closed.

Request

Name	Type
`parameters`	`AdvertisingParameters`
`handle`	`request<AdvertisingHandle>`

Response

Name	Type
`result`	`Peripheral_StartAdvertising_Result`

OnPeerConnected

Event delivered when a remote LE central initiates a connection to this Peripheral when connectable advertising is enabled via Peripheral.StartAdvertising.

The returned Connection handle can be used to interact with the peer. It also represents a peripheral's ownership over the connection: the client can drop the handle to request a disconnection. Similarly, the handle is closed by the system to indicate that the connection to the peer has been lost.

request peer Information about the central that initiated the connection.
request handle Represents the connection.

ENUMS

PeripheralError

Type: uint32

Defined in fuchsia.bluetooth.le/peripheral.fidl

Name	Value	Description
`NOT_SUPPORTED`	`1`	The operation or parameters requested are not supported on the current hardware.
`ADVERTISING_DATA_TOO_LONG`	`2`	The provided advertising data exceeds the maximum allowed length when encoded.
`SCAN_RESPONSE_DATA_TOO_LONG`	`3`	The provided scan response data exceeds the maximum allowed length when encoded.
`INVALID_PARAMETERS`	`4`	The requested parameters are invalid.
`ABORTED`	`5`	The request to start advertising was aborted, for example by issuing a new request with new parameters.
`FAILED`	`6`	Advertising could not be initiated due to a hardware or system error.

AdvertisingModeHint

Type: uint8

Defined in fuchsia.bluetooth.le/peripheral.fidl

A client can indicate the transmission rate of advertising packets by specifying a mode. The mode provides a hint to the system when configuring the controller with advertising interval and window parameters.

The mode affects how quickly a scanner or central is able to discover the peripheral; however it can have an adverse effect on power consumption. While the system will try to honor a client's request, it is not guaranteed to do so.

Name	Value	Description
`VERY_FAST`	`1`	Advertise with a very short interval and window for fast discovery at the cost of higher power consumption. This corresponds to a 30-60ms interval on the 1M PHYs and 90-180ms on the coded PHY.
`FAST`	`2`	Advertise with a short interval and window that uses less power than `VERY_FAST`. This corresponds to a 100-150ms interval on the 1M PHYs and 300-450ms on the coded PHY.
`SLOW`	`3`	Advertise with a moderate interval and window. This corresponds to 1-1.2s on the 1M PHYs and 3s on the coded PHY.
