Abstract:
The BLE Mesh standard is well suited for use in IoT applications because of its low energy consumption. The Mesh extension enables communication beyond directly connected devices. The provisioning of the network can be performed using a smartphone utilizing a compatibility layer for traditional BLE. Connectivity to the Internet is required for many Internet of Things applications, which is not supported by BLE Mesh by default. We propose a bidirectional BLE Mesh to MQTT Gateway (GW) architecture to overcome this limitation. We have evaluated the effect of several BLE Mesh parameters on packet loss using the proposed GW architecture.
