1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a first apparatus, a signal indicative of receipt of a first Bluetooth low energy control message, the first Bluetooth low energy control message including at least one transmission time adjustment parameter;
determining, at the first apparatus, an adjusted transmission time for a subsequent Bluetooth low energy message to be transmitted by the first apparatus based on the at least one transmission time adjustment parameter; and
causing transmission of the subsequent Bluetooth low energy message from the first apparatus at the adjusted transmission time,wherein the at least one transmission time adjustment parameter comprises a transmission schedule adjustment parameter for indicating a duration by which the transmission time of the subsequent message should be adjusted from a scheduled transmission time.

Abstract
A method comprises receiving a signal indicative of receipt of a first Bluetooth low energy message (42), the first Bluetooth low energy message (42) including at least one transmission time adjustment parameter, determining an adjusted transmission time for a subsequent Bluetooth low energy message (44) based on the at least one transmission time adjustment parameter, and causing transmission of the subsequent Bluetooth low energy message (44) at the adjusted transmission time.

6. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, the at least one non-transitory memory medium and the computer-readable instructions configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least:
-
to receive a signal indicative of receipt of a first Bluetooth low energy control message, the first Bluetooth low energy control message including at least one transmission time adjustment parameter; to determine an adjusted transmission time for a subsequent Bluetooth low energy message to be transmitted by the apparatus based on the at least one transmission time adjustment parameter; and to cause transmission of the subsequent Bluetooth low energy message at the adjusted transmission time, wherein the at least one transmission time adjustment parameter comprises a transmission schedule adjustment parameter for indicating a duration by which the transmission time of the subsequent message should be adjusted from a scheduled transmission time. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, the at least one non-transitory memory medium and the computer-readable instructions configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least:
-
to determine at least one transmission time adjustment parameter; to cause transmission of a first Bluetooth low energy control message including the at least one transmission time adjustment parameter, the at least one transmission time adjustment parameter being for allowing a recipient apparatus to determine an adjusted transmission time for a subsequent Bluetooth low energy message to be transmitted by the recipient apparatus; and to enable receipt of the subsequent message, the subsequent message having been transmitted by the recipient apparatus at the determined adjusted transmission time. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
