Link performance measurement and improvement using Bluetooth mesh network

Sammanfattning: Bluetooth is a short-range technology, it helps with wireless communication between many electronic devices. Bluetooth low energy (BLE) is the advanced version of Bluetooth which uses low energy compared to the standard Bluetooth. Bluetooth mesh technology play a crucial role in the Internet of things (IoT). The IoT mesh technology enables many-to-many and one-to-many communication. This project deals with creating a Bluetooth mesh network model using MATLAB as a tool to replicate the readings obtained from real-world measurements. The purpose of this model is to give an overview of how the nodes in the Bluetooth mesh network will work by giving performance such as Round trip time, Time to live and throughput of each individual node, this in turn will help a consumer who will purchase the Bluetooth nodes for the mesh network about their performance and number of nodes that would be required for a given area with optimal performance.
