近年来，蓝牙信标已广泛应用于智慧城市、辅助技术、智能交通管理等众多应用领域。与这些领域相关的研究人员或开发人员经常需要不同的系统来实施或测试与原型相关的创新。他们每次都需要针对特定环境部署信标；这种定制的系统通常不能重复使用。因此，实施成本增加，并且多个系统产生冗余数据。在本文中，我们提出了 BeaCloud——一种为多个基于信标的系统提供通用平台的架构。 BeaCloud 支持系统间通信，并允许系统管理员轻松、安全地访问数据。所提出的架构提出了一种具有成本效益的模型，可以降低成本和硬件。此外，BeaCloud 还可将数据冗余减少高达 40%。为了证明 BeaCloud 的可行性，我们实施了三个测试站点的测试平台并评估了系统的性能。
In recent years, Bluetooth beacons have been widely used in numerous application domains, including smart cities, assistive technologies, and intelligent transportation management. Researchers or developers associated with these domains frequently require diverse systems to implement or test their prototype related innovations. They need to deploy beacons for the specific environment every time; such customized systems typically cannot often be reused. Hence, the cost of implementation increases, and multiple systems generate redundant data. In this paper, we propose BeaCloud – an architecture which provides a common platform of multiple beacon-based systems. BeaCloud enables inter-system communication and allows easy and secure access to data for the system administrators. The proposed architecture presents a cost-effective model that offers reduced cost and hardware. Also, BeaCloud reduces the data redundancy by up to 40%. To demonstrate the feasibility of BeaCloud, we implemented a testbed of three testing sites and evaluated the system’s performance.
