Abstract
Bidirectional communication between BLE/FSK devices and WiFi access points (APs) combines the benefits of long battery life, low device cost, and ubiquitous Internet access. However, prior cross-technology communication (CTC) solutions require transmission mixers inside FSK chips, thus not applicable to newer ultra-low-power (ULP) BLE chips, which removes these mixers to conserve power. Furthermore, throughputs of prior CTC solutions are limited to 1Mbps.
