System and method to reduce packet error rates for larger fragments through payload normalization

A Bluetooth network device for transmitting a Logical Link Control and Adaptation Layer Protocol (L2CAP) Protocol Data Unit (PDU) having a large payload to a remote device using a plurality of packets, comprising:

• a Bluetooth network interface;
• a processing unit;
• and
• a memory device comprising instructions, which when executed by the processing unit, enable the Bluetooth network device to:
• separate the large payload into a plurality of packets using a fragmentation algorithm, wherein an output of the fragmentation algorithm comprises one or more packet types that are to be utilized, wherein each packet type has a different maximum byte count, and a number of packets of each packet type;
• redistribute the large payload among the plurality of packets such that a maximum byte count transmitted by at least one of the plurality of packets is less than the maximum byte count as determined by the fragmentation algorithm;
• and
• transmit the plurality of packets to the remote device using the Bluetooth network interface after the redistributing.
