into it with a cool feature called Channel sounding because Bluetooth is very commonly used to locate misplaced devices Channel sounding was implemented to make this process more accurate by using two new techniques to locate devices the first called round trip time notes the exact time a signal leaves one device the time it arrives at the second device and how long it takes to come back to the first device to help calculate the distance between them the second technique is called PBR and no I'm not talking about the greatest beer to ever grace this fin land PBR stands for phase-based ranging which measures the difference in the phase of the wave that travels between the two devices Bluetooth 6.0 can leverage both techniques at the same time to judge distances more accurately than the the previous method which mostly relied on measuring signal strength and angles Channel sounding is supposed to allow you to pinpoint a device's location down to a few centimeters under optimal conditions similar to the ultra wide band Tech that Apple uses in its air tags but since Bluetooth is a widely used open standard the hope is that Bluetooth 6.0 will make precise location measurement more accessible if you're not in the Apple ecosystem Channel soundings better distance sensitivity also has implications for physical security as it can be used to ensure that things like Bluetooth

ads for things like this lovely shirt from LTT Store I'm wearing thank goodness instead these features are actually meant to help your Bluetooth devices suck down less battery what the advertising battery I'll explain the first feature is called decision-based advertising filtering and it works with Bluetooth low energy which is used by a huge number of devices and utilizes multiple channels basically radio frequencies to transmit data these channels are split into primary and secondary with the primary channels mainly being used for advertising that is telling other nearby devices that a certain Bluetooth device is present it's how your phone detects your earbuds or how your laptop detects your Bluetooth mouse with this new feature a device can listen to the data being sent to it on a primary advertising Channel and use that data to decide if the remaining data on the secondary channels is relevant to what the application is doing this means that your device won't waste battery on scanning for and processing extraneous transmissions for example imagine a music app trying to listen for music signals if it hears an advertising packet from a fitness tracker on the primary Channel it knows it can ignore the data on the secondary channel so it doesn't waste energy processing your new personal best clean and jerk that's a fitness thing Glenn the other advertising feature is called monitoring advertisers and it's a bit more straightforward Bluetooth devices often cannot know if a Sav device they want to connect to is within a close enough range this means that a device can waste a lot of energy searching for the gadget it's trying to connect to even if it's well out of range like if you leave your Bluetooth speaker at home this is where monitoring advertisers comes in the device instead tracks when a device moves out of range so the host device will stop trying to connect to it once the device moves back into range like when you get home the host will know that too so it can automatically reconnect and speaking of speakers LOL there are also minor changes to exactly how data packets are delivered that should decrease audio latency meaning an improvement in how well the sound coming out of your headphones matches what's happening on the screen not going to say no to that of course we should note that Bluetooth 6.0 is just a specification for now and it's
