作为一种具有超低能耗和低延迟数据传输的新兴技术，低功耗蓝牙 (BLE) 在室内定位、家庭自动化和无线个域网 (WPAN) 通信等各种应用领域中获得了巨大的发展势头。凭借各种新颖的协议栈功能，BLE 正在资源受限的传感器节点以及更强大的网关设备上得到应用。特别是，自蓝牙 4.0 发布以来，使用 BLE 信标的接近检测一直是一种流行的使用场景，这主要是由于信标的能源效率和易于部署。然而，随着物联网 (loT) 的迅速崛起，BLE 可能成为许多其他应用的重要组成部分，这些应用的性能和服务质量 (QoS) 要求差异很大，因此需要对 BLE 在信标以外的应用中发挥的作用有一个统一的认识。本文全面调查了使用 BLE 构建的最先进的应用程序、在新应用领域采用 BLE 的障碍，以及学术界和工业界进一步扩展 BLE 功能的当前解决方案。 (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
As an emerging technology with exceptional low energy consumption and low-latency data transmissions, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) has gained significant momentum in various application domains, such as Indoor Positioning, Home Automation, and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) communications. With various novel protocol stack features, BLE is finding use on resource-constrained sensor nodes as well as more powerful gateway devices. Particularly proximity detection using BLE beacons has been a popular usage scenario ever since the release of Bluetooth 4.0, primarily due to the beacons' energy efficiency and ease of deployment. However, with the rapid rise of the Internet of Things (loT), BLE is likely to be a significant component in many other applications with widely varying performance and Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements and there is a need for a consolidated view of the role that BLE will play in applications beyond beaconing. This paper comprehensively surveys state-of-the-art applications built with BLE, obstacles to adoption of BLE in new application areas, and current solutions from academia and industry that further expand the capabilities of BLE.
