Asynchronous Connection-Less

Asynchronous Connection-Less (ACL) is a communications protocol. It is used as a transmission link used for data communication in the Bluetooth system or as a definition with an access code (72 bits) + packet header (54 bits) + payload + CRC (16 bits).

Asynchronous Connection-Less Link[1] (ACL) is used when data integrity is more important than avoiding latency. In this type of link, if a payload encapsulated in the frame is corrupted, it is retransmitted. A secondary returns an ACL frame in the available odd-numbered slot if and only if the previous slot has been addressed to it. ACL can use one, three or more slots and can achieve a maximum data rate of 721 kbit/s.

Packet types

DM1, DH1, DM3, DH3, DM5, DH5, AUX1

D(1)(2) (1) M : rate 2/3 FEC used H : no FEC used

(2) 1 : 1 slot used for one frame 3 : 3 slots used for one frame 5 : 5 slots used for one frame
