1. A computer implemented method comprising:
soliciting, by a source device which periodically generates new data for wireless communication to any of one or more client devices, a connection with any of the one or more client devices via a repeated wireless transmission of advertising packets not including the new data therein;
establishing a wireless connection with a first client device of the one or more client devices based upon receipt, by the source device, of a connection request wirelessly transmitted by the first client device responsive to at least one of the transmitted advertising packets;
while connected with the first client device, wirelessly communicating, by the source device, new data generated thereby to the first client device; and
detecting, by the source device, that the first client device has disconnected from the source device and, based thereon, repeatedly wirelessly transmitting, by the source device, advertising packets, each including at least a portion of the new data which was generated by the source device prior to the transmission thereof.
