Evaluation Of The Bluetooth Mesh Managed Flooding Algorithm Using Simulation

ABSTRACT Bluetooth Special Interest Group released a new version of Bluetooth at the end of 2016 which is called Bluetooth 5. The version had superior features such as increased range which is 4 times the range of Bluetooth 4.2 and improved speed. It was expected to revolutionaries the use of IoTs. However, it used a star topology which limited its range within which it could operate. Both routing and flooding solutions from both Bluetooth SIG and academia have been suggested which led to the development of Bluetooth Mesh. Bluetooth Mesh uses a flooding algorithm which uses a large number of n…
