Can using whitelist reduce Connection Time?

Hi.

Yes, using whitelist can reduce the connection time. Using whitelist the device will use directed advertising which can reduce the connection time.

No, you don't need that.

You mean I do not need to implement whitelist on the peripheral side?

Are you working with NCS or nRF5 SDK? And which version are you working with

I am using nRF5 SDK version 17.1.0 (nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560)

Can you please point me to a good example for peripheral as well as for central in how to use whitelist?

You can look at the ble_app_hrs and ble_app_hrs_c example. If you  have any questions, please let me know.

Hi Joakim,

Thanks for your message.

I will try implementing whitelist on both the ends.

Are you sure that whitelist will reduce connection time? I am asking this because no where I see any literature that mentions about that so was curious. 

In theory it should reduce connection time.

After the devices have connected and bonded, the bonding information is stored, the peripheral uses directed advertising etc. the connection time should be reduced.

I would also suggest that you take a look at the documentation for the peer manager.
