On this week’s iPod touch 6G was the first Apple device with Bluetooth 4.1. Next gadget that allows you to use the features of the updated Protocol for wireless data transmission, will be the iPhone 6s. What opportunities promises to go “Apple” technique on Bluetooth 4.1, later in the article.
Bluetooth 4.1 is a further development of the Bluetooth 4.0 specification, approved June 30, 2010. The standard provides support for high-speed puncture data based on Wi-Fi, and a Protocol with low power consumption (Low Energy). The latter is intended primarily for miniature electronic sensors. Low power consumption is achieved by using a different algorithm: the transmitter is switched on only while sending data that allows operation from a single battery for several years.
One of the improvements in the specification, Bluetooth 4.1 and which is relevant for iPhone, concerns joint work Bluetooth and mobile communication of the fourth generation LTE. The standard provides protection from mutual interference by automatically coordinating the transfer of data packets. The so-called adaptive switching Bluetooth 4.1 with the appearance of interference looking for another channel, transmitting and accepting data at a different frequency. If for Bluetooth 4.0 LTE jamming in 75% of cases, with Bluetooth 4.1, this figure falls to 25%.
Another innovation is intended to facilitate reconnection of the device after a communication failure. Now, if the user goes out of range of the Bluetooth on and off for a short time from the paired device, the device will automatically resume the connection when returning to the radius of the coverage area. Also in the new version is expected to improve the data transfer, and this process will become more efficient.
The presentation of the iPhone 6s that support the new Bluetooth standard will take place this fall. According to preliminary data, the device will go on sale on Friday, September 18.
