00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,640
for the first time in 8 years a new Full

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:09,840
Bluetooth version has been launched Bluetooth 6.0 is here but are the new

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:14,040
features things you'll actually be excited about that might depend on you

4
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:18,320
let's get right into it with a cool feature called Channel sounding because

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:22,279
Bluetooth is very commonly used to locate misplaced devices Channel

6
00:00:20,519 --> 00:00:27,240
sounding was implemented to make this process more accurate by using two new

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:33,000
techniques to locate devices the first called round trip time notes the exact

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:37,160
time a signal leaves one device the time it arrives at the second device and how

9
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:41,239
long it takes to come back to the first device to help calculate the distance

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:45,719
between them the second technique is called PBR and no I'm not talking about

11
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:50,840
the greatest beer to ever grace this fin land PBR stands for phase-based ranging

12
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:55,399
which measures the difference in the phase of the wave that travels between

13
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:59,640
the two devices Bluetooth 6.0 can leverage both techniques at the same

14
00:00:57,359 --> 00:01:02,879
time to judge distances more accurately than the the previous method which

15
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:07,240
mostly relied on measuring signal strength and angles Channel sounding is

16
00:01:05,479 --> 00:01:11,680
supposed to allow you to pinpoint a device's location down to a few

17
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:16,439
centimeters under optimal conditions similar to the ultra wide band Tech that

18
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:21,640
Apple uses in its air tags but since Bluetooth is a widely used open standard

19
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:25,280
the hope is that Bluetooth 6.0 will make precise location measurement more

20
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:29,400
accessible if you're not in the Apple ecosystem Channel soundings better

21
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:33,680
distance sensitivity also has implications for physical security as it

22
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:37,479
can be used to ensure that things like Bluetooth operated smart locks can only

23
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:43,320
be operated by someone who's both authorized and in close proximity to the

24
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:45,280
lock and not by some sneaky boy in a

25
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:49,000
different room but if you're the type of person that you know just never loses

26
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:52,280
anything there are other Bluetooth six features you might care about which

27
00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:57,000
we'll tell you about right after we thank the sponsor of this video I fix it

28
00:01:54,479 --> 00:02:01,920
their new fix Hub power series aims to change the way you think about soldering

29
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:07,399
there smart soldering iron delivers 100 watts of power via USBC heats up in just

30
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:12,000
5 seconds and is super easy to handle their portable soldering station gives

31
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:16,400
you a benchtop setup anywhere with 55 WTH hours of power for up to 8 hours of

32
00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:20,760
soldering without needing to recharge plus it features USBC power delivery

33
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:25,519
through two ports and if you're looking for an all-in-one soldering solution the

34
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:30,080
power series soldering tool kit is their most comprehensive option with the power

35
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:35,040
station soldering iron cap solder in iron tip soldering iron handle and more

36
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:39,000
pre-order the fix Hub power Series today using the link in the description there

37
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:43,280
are a pair of features in Bluetooth 6 that refer to advertising but

38
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:47,040
fortunately they have nothing to do with ads for things like this lovely shirt

39
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:50,680
from LTT Store I'm wearing thank goodness instead these features are

40
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:57,159
actually meant to help your Bluetooth devices suck down less battery what the

41
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:59,040
advertising battery I'll explain the

42
00:02:57,159 --> 00:03:03,640
first feature is called decision-based advertising filtering and it works with

43
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:07,799
Bluetooth low energy which is used by a huge number of devices and utilizes

44
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:12,480
multiple channels basically radio frequencies to transmit data these

45
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:17,120
channels are split into primary and secondary with the primary channels

46
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:21,879
mainly being used for advertising that is telling other nearby devices that a

47
00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:25,760
certain Bluetooth device is present it's how your phone detects your earbuds or

48
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:30,480
how your laptop detects your Bluetooth mouse with this new feature a device can

49
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:35,120
listen to the data being sent to it on a primary advertising Channel and use that

50
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:39,760
data to decide if the remaining data on the secondary channels is relevant to

51
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:44,840
what the application is doing this means that your device won't waste battery on

52
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:49,319
scanning for and processing extraneous transmissions for example imagine a

53
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:53,159
music app trying to listen for music signals if it hears an advertising

54
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:57,519
packet from a fitness tracker on the primary Channel it knows it can ignore

55
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:02,799
the data on the secondary channel so it doesn't waste energy processing your new

56
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:07,280
personal best clean and jerk that's a fitness thing Glenn the other

57
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:11,519
advertising feature is called monitoring advertisers and it's a bit more

58
00:04:09,079 --> 00:04:15,200
straightforward Bluetooth devices often cannot know if a Sav device they want to

59
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:19,919
connect to is within a close enough range this means that a device can waste

60
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:23,600
a lot of energy searching for the gadget it's trying to connect to even if it's

61
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:28,240
well out of range like if you leave your Bluetooth speaker at home this is where

62
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:32,840
monitoring advertisers comes in the device instead tracks when a device

63
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:37,280
moves out of range so the host device will stop trying to connect to it once

64
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:40,919
the device moves back into range like when you get home the host will know

65
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:46,120
that too so it can automatically reconnect and speaking of speakers LOL

66
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:50,880
there are also minor changes to exactly how data packets are delivered that

67
00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:54,720
should decrease audio latency meaning an improvement in how well the sound coming

68
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:58,639
out of your headphones matches what's happening on the screen not going to say

69
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:03,520
no to that of course we should note that Bluetooth 6.0 is just a specification

70
00:05:01,479 --> 00:05:07,840
for now and it's up to manufacturers to start including it in their products

71
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:11,960
while we do expect this will happen there have actually been cases in the

72
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:16,160
past where a technology failed partly because no one made anything for it

73
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,960
which is exactly what happened to wireless USB so if you want to learn

74
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:23,960
more about why that failed go watch this video next it's fascinating
