“…Routing-based solution is one of the most important issues in studying communication between nodes within any BLE network. It uses advertising channels to send routing protocol messages but use data channels for data transmission [28,29]. Routing-based solutions for BLE networks can be divided in two parts, static routing based solutions and dynamic routing based solutions Increasing network scalability, solving Connection Event overlap problem and finding the shortest route between nodes to maintain network energy consumption and speed up data transmission are the main challenges of routing-based solutions.…”

The Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is an attractive solution for implementing low-cost, low power consumption, short-range wireless transmission technology and high flexibility wireless products, which working on standard coin-cell batteries for years. The original design of BLE is restricted to star topology networking, which limits network coverage and scalability. In contrast, other competing technologies like Wi-Fi and ZigBee overcome those constraints by supporting different topologies such as the tree and mesh network topologies. This paper presents a part of the researchers’ efforts in designing solutions to enable BLE mesh networks and implements a tree network topology which is not supported in the standard BLE specifications. In addition, it discusses the advantages and drawbacks of the existing BLE network solutions. During analyzing the existing solutions, we highlight currently open issues such as flooding-based and routing-based solutions to allow end-to-end data transmission in a BLE mesh network and connecting BLE devices to the internet to support the Internet of Things (IoT). The approach proposed in this paper combines the default BLE star topology with the flooding based mesh topology to create a new hybrid network topology. The proposed approach can extend the network coverage without using any routing protocol.

“…BLE multi-hop network is an ongoing research topic. ALBER [6] is the architecture that implements RPL (IPv6 routing protocol for low power and lossy network) on top of BLE. It takes advantage of the low-power and the connection oriented nature of BLE when forming a multi-hop network with RPL.…”

“…While various performance improvements have been made, BLE is still expected to be used for a point-to-point connection. However, this is slowly changing; BLE multi-hop network architectures and routing protocols have been studied in the past few years [3,6,8]. In addition, a few BLE multi-hop network products have been commercialized [4,11].…”

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is aimed for Internet of Things (IoT) devices with limited battery capacity and small bandwidth. Despite the increasing number of IoT devices and the improving performance of BLE, the usage model is still limited to point-to-point with no mobility. This limitation prevents the devices to spread across a large field or a home. While multi-hop technologies had been studied and commercialized, they do not fully take advantage of the BLE's low-power feature; and their configurations cannot easily be changed once the network is deployed. We have designed an architecture called BlueSkyNet. It allows network administrators to form and manage a BLE multi-hop network that allows nodes to be mobile. It takes advantage of the improving performance of BLE, and allows the network configurations to be modified in a software-defined way.

“…This constitutes a major motivation for the physical layer comparison presented in this paper. Indeed, there is a series of recent works that implement MAC and routing protocols, which are typically used with IEEE 802.15.4, on top of the physical layer of BLE [4] [12]. In this context, given the same upper layer protocols, the presented work addresses the question of which is the best physical layer solution.…”

IEEE 802.15.4 (used by Zigbee, 6LoWPAN and Thread) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) are two widely used wireless standards for ultra low power IoT (Internet of Things) technologies and smart home applications. In this article, we present the first comparison of the physical layer of the two protocols, focusing on two performance metrics: energy efficiency and wireless coverage. The comparison uses the first radio that seamlessly supports both protocols; therefore, the protocols are compared on identical hardware and software. By combining the two metrics, we quantify the performance, and identify in which types of links it is preferable to use one protocol or the other, thus providing practical guidelines to developers of short-range energy-constrained wireless networks and smart home applications.
