Abstract
Provided are systems and methods for reversing the conventional roles of central and peripheral devices in a BLE network. Doing so includes implementing an end node (EN) as the sole initiator of a connection between a particular EN and a particular mobile access point (AP). Such implementation includes determining such connection based on a relative proximity of an EN to the mobile AP, and a relative value of the connection between an EN and the mobile AP. Accordingly, a relative location of the EN may be determined based on such proximity, and particularly in response to mobility of the AP.
