“…However, in addition to proximity detection, BLE-based systems are also used to connect wireless sensors and receivers in a variety of healthcare and smart home applications. Because of its ubiquitous presence in commercial devices and low-energy requirements, recently a few less traditional domain of applications are investigating the use of BLE, such as Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) [9,10], smart infrastructure [11,12,13], multimedia streaming devices [14,15,16], mobile payment systems [17,18], etc. However, such emerging applications are often unable to utilize BLE without modification or enhancements.…”
