A mesh network for mobile devices using Bluetooth low energy

An important issue of research in wireless networks is to dynamically organize the nodes into a wireless network and route the data from the source to the destination. In most of the existing routing techniques in wireless networks assumes that all nodes are static and do not change their positions till the end of the network. Although it is not a realistic assumption, it eliminates the effects of mobility of nodes in routing the data. In this paper, we present a mesh network for mobile devices using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). We propose a weight balancing technique to optimize the communication for routing the data using BLE mesh network. We develop a prototype of BLE mesh network using the Android operating system.
