A BTLE (Bluetooth Low energy)/BT4.0 radio packet sender ( build based on
hackrf_transfer: https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf  )

See project here: https://github.com/JiaoXianjun/   repo BTLE

All link layer packet formats are supported. (Chapter 2&3, PartB, Volume 6,
Core_V4.0.pdf :
https://www.google.fi/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCAQFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bluetooth.org%2Fdocman%2Fhandlers%2Fdownloaddoc.ashx%3Fdoc_id%3D229737&ei=ui3gU4GkC-up0AW4q4GwBw&usg=AFQjCNFY1IFeFAAWwimnoaWMsIRZQvPDSw&sig2=wTgMMxNPJ52NHclpsQ4XhQ&bvm=bv.72197243,d.d2k
)

It can be used to transmit arbitrary pre-defined BTLE signal/packet
sequence, such as raw bits to GFSK modulator, iBeacon packet, Connection
establishment procedure packet in TI's website:
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/BLE_sniffer_guide , or any other
packets you want. Together with TI's packet sniffer, you will have full TX
and RX abilities. See video demo 1 http://youtu.be/Y8ttV5AEb-g (outside
China) or video demo 2 http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNzUxMDIzNzAw.html
(inside China)

----Build:

    cd host
    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake ../
    make
    sudo make install  (or not install, just use btle_tx in
hackrf-tools/src)

----Usage method 1:

    btle_tx packet1 packet2 ... packetX ...  rN

----Usage method 2:

    btle_tx packets.txt

In method 2, just those command line parameters (packet1 ... rN) in method
1 are written/grouped in a .txt file as input of btle_tx tool. One
parameter one line. A line start with "#" is regarded as comment. See
packets.txt example in hackrf-tools/src.

"packetX" is one string which describes one packet. All packets compose a
packets sequence.

"rN" means the sequence will be repeated for N times. If it is not
specified, the sequence will only be sent once.

----Format of packet descriptor "packetX"

    channel_number-packet_type-field-value-field-value-...-Space-value

Each descriptor string starts with BTLE channel number (0~39), then
followed by packet_type (RAW/iBeacon/ADV_IND/ADV_DIRECT_IND/etc. See all
format examples at the end), then followed by field-value pair which is
packet_type specific, at last there is Space-value pair (optional) where
the value specifies how many millisecond will be waited after this packet
sent.

----iBeacon example: (iBeacon principle:
http://www.warski.org/blog/2014/01/how-ibeacons-work/ )

    ./btle_tx
37-iBeacon-AdvA-010203040506-UUID-B9407F30F5F8466EAFF925556B57FE6D-Major-0008-Minor-0009-TxPower-C5-Space-100
r100

Above command sends iBeacon packet and repeats it 100 times with 100ms time
space (If you have "Locate" app in your iPhone/iPad, it will detect the
packet and show the iBeacon info.). The packet descriptor string:


37-iBeacon-AdvA-010203040506-UUID-B9407F30F5F8466EAFF925556B57FE6D-Major-0008-Minor-0009-TxPower-C5-Space-100

37 -- channel 37 (one of BTLE Advertising channel 37 38 39)

iBeacon -- packet format key word which means iBeacon format. (Actually it
is ADV_IND format in Core_V4.0.pdf)

AdvA -- Advertising address (MAC address) which is set as 010203040506 (See
Core_V4.0.pdf)

UUID -- here we specify it as Estimote’s fixed UUID:
B9407F30F5F8466EAFF925556B57FE6D

Major -- major number of iBeacon format. (Here it is 0008)

Minor -- minor number of iBeacon format. (Here it is 0009)

Txpower -- transmit power parameter of iBeacon format (Here it is C5)

Space -- How many millisecond will be waited after this packet sent. (Here
it is 100ms)

----Connection establishment example: (See "Connection establishment" part
of http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/BLE_sniffer_guide )

    ./btle_tx
37-ADV_IND-TxAdd-0-RxAdd-0-AdvA-90D7EBB19299-AdvData-0201050702031802180418-Space-1000

37-CONNECT_REQ-TxAdd-0-RxAdd-0-InitA-001830EA965F-AdvA-90D7EBB19299-AA-60850A1B-CRCInit-A77B22-WinSize-02-WinOffset-000F-Interval-0050-Latency-0000-Timeout-07D0-ChM-1FFFFFFFFF-Hop-9-SCA-5-Space-1000
9-LL_DATA-AA-60850A1B-LLID-1-NESN-0-SN-0-MD-0-DATA-X-CRCInit-A77B22-Space-1000

Above simualtes a Connection establishment procedure between device 1 and
device 2.

The 1st packet -- device 1 sends ADV_IND packet in channel 37.

The 2nd packet -- After device 2 (in scanning state) receives the ADV
packet from device 1, device 2 sends CONNECT_REQ packet to request
connection setup with device 1. In this request packet, there are device 2
MAC address (InitA), target MAC address (device 1 MAC address AdvA), Access
address (AA) which will be used by device 1 in following packet sending in
data channel, CRC initilization value for following device 1 sending
packet, Hopping channel information (ChM and Hop) for data channel used by
device 1, etc.

The 3rd packet -- device 1 send an empty Link layer data PDU in channel 9
(decided by hopping scheme) according to those connection request
information received from device 2. (One "X" after field "DATA" means there
is no data for this field )

Time space between packets are 1s (1000ms). Tune TI's packet sniffer to
channel 37, then above establishment procedure will be captured.
