Ting-Ting Yang, Hsueh‐Wen Tseng · 2020
Beacon technology has gone a long way since its first appearance by Apple in 2013 and is expected to grow continually. Beacon, a small wireless transmitter, can send signals to other devices nearby. As Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a low-cost wireless technology, it has emerged to dominate a beacon technology market. BLE advertising is a critical part of the protocol that can broadcast messages to the nearby scanners. In BLE 5.0, the protocol even improves advertising capabilities significantly. The new extended advertising packets are designed for expanding the possibilities of sending more data.
