Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure provide a Bluetooth network, a communication method, an apparatus, and a storage medium thereof. In the embodiments of the disclosure, a Bluetooth network comprises a Bluetooth node configured with a forwarding capability and serving as a non-leaf node, and a Bluetooth node functioning in a Bluetooth advertising mode to serve as a leaf node. Each leaf node is connected to at least one of one or more non-leaf nodes. Via the forwarding capability of the non-leaf node, the leaf node communicates with other leaf nodes or non-leaf nodes not within its signal coverage, thereby extending a communication range of a Bluetooth node.
