TLDR
To improve packet delivery ratio, this work considers three different relay selection mechanisms and develops their extensions that are capable to operate in a distributed fashion and is evaluated via extensive simulations.Abstract:
Bluetooth Mesh (BM) is a new communication standard, which is designed for the upcoming Internet of Things. It builds on the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol and allows devices to extend the range and create a mesh network. BM introduces a publisher/ observer structure where a publisher node can broadcast a packet, known also as an advertisement, and all observers can receive the packet. Typically, in BM networks flooding is used to propagate the advertisements. Flooding is known to suffer from broadcast storm problem and be nonreli-able. To improve packet delivery ratio we propose an approach where only a few nodes, relays, are involved in packet forwarding. Selection of the relay nodes, which is a focus of the paper, is a nontrivial task: on the one hand, a minimization of number of relays is desired, on the other hand, using a minimum dominated set would not provide redundancy. We consider three different relay selection mechanisms and develop their extensions that are capable to operate in a distributed fashion. Their performance is evaluated via extensive simulations.read more

Understanding the Performance of Bluetooth Mesh: Reliability, Delay, and Scalability Analysis
TL;DR: Results prove that scalability is especially challenging for Bluetooth mesh since it is prone to broadcast storm, hindering the communication reliability for denser deployments, and introduce randomization in these timing parameters, as well as varying the duration of the Advertising Events.

Geometric ad-hoc routing: of theory and practice
TL;DR: A new geometric routing algorithm is proposed which is outstandingly efficient on practical average-case networks, however is also in theory asymptotically worst-case optimal and the formerly necessary assumption that the distance between network nodes may not fall below a constant value is dropped.
