The need to leverage "smart" mechanisms to route data among heterogeneous devices is a key aspect in modern scenarios and applications, especially those targeting the integration of existing systems in the Internet of Things (IoT)-oriented environments. To this end, the exploitation of the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol, especially its advertisement channels, allows a large amount of devices to interact, collect, and exploit data for future-proof applications. Therefore, the definition of routing protocols exploiting BLE advertisement channels and being able to target different classes of BLE nodes is useful for heterogeneous IoT scenarios.
