BR/EDR Packet Types
Bluetooth BR/EDR (Basic Rate/Enhanced Data Rate) defines several packet types, including the Access Code, Header, and Payload. These packets can vary in type, such as ID, NULL, POLL, and others, which determine the number of slots the current packet occupies during transmission.
LE Packet Types
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) uses two main types of packets: advertising channel PDUs and data channel PDUs. Advertising channel PDUs are used to establish connections and include various types like connectable and non-connectable advertisements, while data channel PDUs are used for data transmission after a connection is established.
Disable De-Whitening
Packets typically go through a process called data whitening before transmission to avoid long sequences on zeros or ones. These packets must be de-whitened when received by WPS or Bluetooth devices. When a feature is in early development, packets are often not whitened before transmission to simplify debugging. The "Disable De-Whitening/HDT Packets" Analyze option may be enabled if it is known that HDT packets have not been whitened and will prevent WPS from applying the de-whitening algorithm to these packets.
