Abstract: This concerns a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device, or system, or method of operating a BLE device and a respective computer program. The BLE device comprises a transceiver to broadcast the at least one advertising packet, a processor connected to the transceiver to generate the advertising packet and/or to trigger broadcasting thereof according to a broadcasting schedule. The device further comprises a verification element connected to the processor and being capable of ascertaining if a predefined condition is met, at least one of the verification element and the processor is capable of modifying the broadcasting schedule based on the predefined condition's ascertainment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, to a computer program and to a system to establish wireless communication between at least two Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices the method comprising the steps of: switching a first BLE device (20) into a scanning mode (SM), switching a second BLE device (30) into an advertising mode (AM), and broadcasting a first advertising packet (31) from the second BLE device, switching the second BLE device (30) into the scanning mode (SM), receiving the first advertising packet (31) by first BLE device (20), and switching the first BLE device (20) into the advertising mode (AM), and broadcasting a second advertising packet (21) from the first BLE device (30).
