Wireless communication method and system

A method for a half-duplex wireless communication system comprising a first wireless communication device including a router coupled to a plurality of controllers, the method comprising:

• configuring the first wireless communication device as a peripheral device and a second wireless communication device as a central device;
• forming an active link between the second wireless communication device and the first wireless communication device via a first controller of the plurality of controllers;
• during each connection interval of a measurement period:
• suspending data packet transmission via the first controller;
• determining a first received signal quality from a data packet received via the first controller;
• and
• determining a second received signal quality from a data packet received via a second controller of the plurality of controllers.

A half-duplex wireless communication device configured as a central device and comprising a router coupled to a plurality of controllers, each controller comprising an RF transceiver, the device configured to:

• wirelessly communicate via an active link to a further half-duplex wireless communication device configured as a peripheral device with a first controller of the plurality of controllers;
• wherein during each connection interval of a measurement period, the router is configured to:
• control the first controller to transmit only one data packet;
• determine a first received signal quality from a data packet received via the first controller;
• receive two data packets at a second controller of the plurality of controllers;
• and
• determine a second received signal quality from the second of the two received data packets.
