The Evolution of BLE v4.0 to v5.0
Bluetooth Low Energy Hybrid Digital Transmission System / Frequency Hopping:
• 40 channels versus 79 channels on 2 MHz channel spacing versus 1 MHz
• Primarily a single-carrier system Hybrid Digital Transmission System (DTS) / FH
• Many protocol transactions occur on a single channel
• Frequency hopping only required for longer data sequences and rarely utilizes all channels in a hop sequence
• Frequency hopping sequence generation complexity lowered

PHY Baseline Discussion BLE (v4.0) versus BT Classic
• PHY Baseline Discussion: BLE (v4.0) versus BT Classic (Non-Enhanced Data Rate [EDR])
• Bluetooth Classic:- Modulation Type GFSK (Gaussian Filtered Frequency Shift Keying)- Baseband Filter: Gaussian Pulse Shaping BT Product: BT=0.5- Data Rate: 1 Mbps- Modulation Index: 0.28 – 0.35 (Sub MSK condition of 0.5)- Channelization of Carrier Frequencies: 2402 + k*1 [MHz] k=0,1,…,78- Frequency Hopping Selection over 79 channels down to 20 channels (Adaptive Frequency Hopping)
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE – v4.0 v5.0)
- Modulation Type GFSK (Gaussian Filtered Frequency Shift Keying)- Baseband Filter: Gaussian Pulse Shaping BT Product: BT=0.5- Data Rate: 1 Mbps- Modulation Index: 0.45 – 0.55 (MSK condition of 0.5 +/- 10% , Stable Modulation Index 0.5 +/- 0.1%)- Channelization of Carrier Frequencies: 2402 + k*2 [MHz] k=0,1,…,39- Frequency Hopping Selection over 40 channels – Selection not considered here
