The smart doorbell: A proof-of-concept implementation of a bluetooth mesh network

Abstract:

Bluetooth Mesh is a new communications protocol for connecting Bluetooth Low Energy devices in a mesh network; it originates as an alternative solution for home and office automation applications. Being a relatively new technology, there is a need to test Bluetooth Mesh in a realistic working environment to asses its strengths and weaknesses. We implemented a basic proof-of-concept Bluetooth Mesh network in our office building for a well-known office automation application: a smart doorbell. The smart doorbell uses Bluetooth Mesh technology to send and receive event messages inside a building and expand its reach with relay nodes. The network nodes were designed in-house according to the requirements of the application. This paper explores the design in hardware and software of a Bluetooth Mesh network in a real environment considering some evaluation metrics, such as package loss across …
