“…There are many applications that use the gateway to perform the data processing [54][55][56]. For example, Shim et al [57] designs a ZigBee-BLE gateway to control and manage home appliances. These IoT systems implement multiradio gateways that introduce additional hardware, maintenance costs, deployment complexity, and traffic overhead.…”

The ever-developing Internet of Things (IoT) brings the prosperity of wireless sensing and control applications. In many scenarios, different wireless technologies coexist in the shared frequency medium as well as the physical space. Such wireless coexistence may lead to serious cross-technology interference (CTI) problems, e.g. channel competition, signal collision, throughput degradation. Compared with traditional methods like interference avoidance, tolerance, and concurrency mechanism, direct and timely information exchange among heterogeneous devices is therefore a fundamental requirement to ensure the usability, inter-operability, and reliability of the IoT. Under this circumstance, Cross-Technology Communication (CTC) technique thus becomes a hot topic in both academic and industrial fields, which aims at directly exchanging data among heterogeneous devices that follow different standards. This paper comprehensively summarizes the CTC techniques and reveals that the key challenge for CTC lies in the heterogeneity of IoT devices, including the incompatibility of technical standards and the asymmetry of connection capability. Based on the above finding, we present a taxonomy of the existing CTC works (packet-level CTCs and physical-level CTCs) and compare the existing CTC techniques in terms of throughput, reliability, hardware modification, and concurrency.

“…Considering that most IoT devices are small‐scale and battery‐powered, Galinina et al [8] exploited Bluetooth low energy (BLE) to enable energy‐efficient data transmission. Currently, Shim et al [9] designed a ZigBee–BLE gateway direct communication system to control and manage home appliances. These IoT systems are implemented indirectly through multi‐radio gateways that introduce additional hardware, maintenance costs, deployment complexity, and traffic overhead into and out of the gateway.…”

“…By contrast, if IoT devices run ZigBee, smartphones are unable to communicate with them directly because smartphones are without built-in ZigBee wireless interfaces. Solutions to this problem include augmenting the smartphone with a ZigBee USB dongle (e.g., [ 6 ]), or using a gateway device to bridge the ZigBee network and the Wi-Fi network (e.g., [ 7 ]) or the BLE network (e.g., [ 8 ]). Therefore, in this research we focus on naturally integrating BLE-enabled smartphones into the ecosystem of the BLE-based IoT environment by designing an interactive real-time locating system.…”

The ubiquity of Bluetooth-enabled smartphones and peripherals has brought tremendous convenience to our daily life. In recent years, Bluetooth beacons have also been gaining popularity in implementing a variety of innovative location-based services such as self-guided systems in exhibition centers. However, the broadcast-based beacon technology can only provide unidirectional communication. In case smartphone users would like to respond to the beacon messages, they have to rely on their own mobile Internet connections to send the information back to the backend system. Nevertheless, mobile Internet services may not be always available or too costly. In this work, we develop a real-time locating system based only on the Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technology to support interactive communications by combining the broadcast and mesh topology options to extend the applicability of beacon solutions. Specifically, we turn the smartphone into a beacon device and augment the beacon devices with the capability of forming a mesh network. The implementation result shows that our beacon devices can detect the presence of specific users at specific locations, and then the presence state can be sent to the application server via the relay of beacon devices. Moreover, the application server can send personalized location-based messages to the users, again via the relay of beacon devices. With the capability of relaying messages between the beacon devices, it would be convenient for developers to implement a variety of interactive applications such as tracking VIP customers at the airport, or tracking an elder with Alzheimer’s disease in the neighborhood.
