Abstract
An apparatus, a method and a computer program product is disclosed for a Bluetooth communication transceiver. The Bluetooth communication transceiver is configured as a Bluetooth low energy device performing timing measurements which are to be used for power saving. Based at least in part on the timing measurements, receive activation timings of the Bluetooth communication transceiver are adjusted. Further, a sleep clock of the apparatus may be used for calibration of the receive activation timings.
