BLUETOOTH İLE MESH NETWORK OLUŞTURULMASI VE MENZİL ANALİZİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Bluetooth kısa mesafe kablosuz haberleşmelerde kullanılan etkili bir yöntemdir. Bluetooth Standartları Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) tarafından yayınlanmaktadır. Bluetooth Düşük Enerjinin yayınlanması ile bu teknolojide bir çığır açılmıştır. Düşük enerji, verimlilik ve enerji tasarrufu açısından karşılaşılan problemlere çözümler üretmiştir. Düşük Enerji teknolojisini Nesnelerin İnterneti standardına uyumlu hale getirmek bu enerjiyi daha tanınır hale getirmiştir. Karşılaşılan IP sorunu ve topoloji sorunları SIG tarafından yayınlanan standartlar ile çözüme kavuşturulmuştur. 2017 yılında yayınlanan mesh standard ile Nesnelerin İnterneti ve Bluetooth Düşük Enerji uyumu gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada bir Mesh Ağının genel özelliklerinden bahsedilmiş, daha sonra üç katlı bir depoda bulunan nesnelerin takibinin mesh ağı aracılığı ile gerçekleştirilebileceği gösterilmiştir. Nesnelerimn var veya yok olmaları mesh ağı aracılığı ile takip edilmiştir.

ESTABLISHING A MESH NETWORK WITH BLUETOOTH AND INVESTIGATING THE RANGE ANALYSIS

Bluetooth is an effective technology in short range wireless communications. The standards of Bluetooth have been released by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) and the release of Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) standard aka. Bluetooth Smart was one of the breakthroughs concerning Bluetooth. LE offers efficient ways to overcome problems regarding the efficiency and energy consumption. Adopting LE to the Internet of Things (IoT) standards has made LE a more acknowledged technology in the market. But there were some problems such as the limited range, not having the IP support. IP support has been released by SIG to overcome the IP problems, but the range and the topology problem remained until the mesh standard has been released. In this paper, the essentials of a mesh network will be mentioned along with a base application that has been performed in a three-story warehouse. The supplies in the warehouse were assigned a LE Beacon which is a member of the mesh network and the absence or the presence of the supply has been monitored via the mesh network.
