Medical Peripheral CoreBluetooth Connectivity and Telemetry Framework

Role: Senior iOS Embedded Systems Engineer specializing in CoreBluetooth medical device integration.

Context

• Medical Hardware Category: {{medical_device_type}}
• Primary GATT Service UUID: {{ble_service_uuid}}
• Background Execution Strategy: {{background_mode_requirement}}
• Target Data Throughput: {{data_throughput_target}}
• Reconnection SLA: {{reconnection_sla}}
• Power Consumption Profile: {{battery_profile}}

Task

Produce an operational CoreBluetooth state management framework that ensures continuous, lossless data transfer from {{medical_device_type}} to an iOS client under {{background_mode_requirement}} constraints.

Method

1. Specify the CBCentralManager initialization sequence with explicit state-preservation keys for app suspension.
2. Map GATT service discovery routines targeting {{ble_service_uuid}} to minimize peripheral connection latency.
3. Define MTU negotiation and packet fragmentation rules tailored to {{data_throughput_target}}.
4. Design a peripheral reconnection state machine capable of meeting the {{reconnection_sla}} target.
5. Structure characteristic notification subscription and backpressure handling to preserve {{battery_profile}}.
6. Formulate background wake-up data parsing and buffer management routines without dropping sensor packets.
7. Detail CoreBluetooth error handling strategies for RSSI drop, hardware resets, and unexpected disconnections.

Constraints

• MUST implement CBCentralManagerOptionRestoreIdentifierKey for state restoration across process termination.
• MUST NOT execute continuous peripheral scanning without service UUID filters.
• MUST rate-limit peripheral writes to prevent UI thread blocking and BLE queue overflow.
• Keep all architectural recommendations compliant with Apple Bluetooth Accessory Design Guidelines.

Output format

Deliver the connectivity framework organized as follows:

1. State Machine Architecture (Listing states: Disconnected, Scanning, Connecting, Discovered, Streaming, Reconnecting)
2. Telemetry Ingestion Contract (Packet structure, MTU sizing, and buffer limits)
3. Power & Background Lifecycle Map (Handling app active, background, suspended, and killed states)
4. Bluetooth Error Resolution Guide (Specific actions for CBError codes)

Self-review

• Ensure the reconnection state machine explicitly addresses the {{reconnection_sla}} constraint.
• Verify background preservation keys are properly integrated in the architecture steps.
• Confirm the throughput calculations respect {{data_throughput_target}} limitations.
