Abstract
A method for establishing a BLE mesh network, comprising: receiving, by a first node, from a second node, a first network packet; determining, by the first node, whether the received first network packet has been received before, (a) determining whether the first node is a destination node if the received first network packet is different from the network packet stored in the buffer, performing an action defined by the first network packet if the first node is the destination node, and broadcasting the received first network packet through an advertising channel in the BLE mesh network if the first node is not the destination node; (b) dropping the received first network packet if the received first network packet is the same as at least one network packet stored in the buffer.
