Abstract
This work examines the applicability of the relatively young radio standard Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth Smart) for mesh-enabled applications. To achieve this, a demonstrator application is used in multiple measurements to analyze the packet delivery ratio of different setups. Since no official mesh implementation for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) has been released to this date, the proprietary, BLE-based CSRmesh protocol is used in this study. Besides the measurement campaign, several simulations were performed in order to study the suitability of Bluetooth Mesh in large-scale networks. Our results show that Bluetooth Mesh is a promising technology for mesh applications but additional effort is required during the ongoing standardization process to exploit its full potential.Keywords
