The advent of various wireless technologies has paved the way for the realization of new infrastructures and applications for smart cities. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are one of the most important among these technologies. WSNs are widely used in various applications in our daily lives.
We propose and discuss BE-Mesh-Bluetooth low
Energy-Meshed network, a new paradigm for BLE (Bluetooth
Low Energy) that enables mesh networking among wirelessly
interconnected devices, both in a single hop and multi-hop
fashion. Starting from the classical Master/Slave paradigm of
Bluetooth, we build two new layers based on BLE stack that
allow the final user to set-up, in a fast way, the desired network
topology while hiding the complexity and low-level details of the
BLE stack. We also prototype, as a proof of concept, an open
