 Overview

-Application demonstrating very basic Bluetooth LE Central role functionality by scanning
-for other Bluetooth LE devices and establishing a connection to the first one with a
-strong enough signal.
+This application demonstrates basic Bluetooth LE Central role functionality
+by scanning for other Bluetooth LE devices and establishing a connection
+to the first one with a strong enough signal.
+
+Core features
+*************
+
+Scanning for devices
+====================
+
+The application initiates a passive scan to detect nearby Bluetooth LE devices.
+It specifically looks for devices that have a signal strength greater
+than -50dBm. This threshold helps the app filter out weaker signals,
+ensuring it only interacts with devices that are within a reasonable RSSI
+range for communication.
+
+Connection handling
+===================
+
+1. The Central scans for Peripheral devices and if it finds a Peripheral
+   which has a signal strength higher than -50dBm, an attempt to establish
+   LE connection is made.
+2. If the connection is successful, the Central initiates disconnect to
+   the Peripheral and then restarts the scan.
+3. If there are no connections, the Central keeps scanning continuously.
+
+The sample is used to demonstrate the Central mode capabilities of Bluetooth LE and
+hence a disconnect is issued right immediately after establishing a connection with
+a Peripheral, allowing the Central to resume scanning for other devices.
