BLE broadcasting impact in a real network environment

Bluetooth Low Energy is taking over small mobile device world by gaining importance in many aspects of human social life. In this paper, we are investigating the potential impact of BLE devices broadcasting availability and what are the differences according to different real environment broadcasting scenarios. By means of experiments, we conduct several scenarios depending on two variables - duration of device advertising and a number of advertising devices. We found that the duration of advertisement is not affecting message delivery when the advertiser is alone in the network. Also, we predict future growth of network latency. We found that this behaviour is happening in the case when devices are in a closer range of advertising.
