In this paper, we present a customer preference analysis system using the Bluetooth Low Energy technology. Compared to Classic Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy provides considerably reduced power consumption, and cost, as well as some unique characteristics while maintaining a similar communication range. The customer preference analysis system collects nearby Bluetooth Low Energy devices using an Android mobile device via Bluetooth Low Energy. In addition, the system is capable of suggesting, and advertising products that are related to these Bluetooth Low Energy devices based on the name of their manufacturer. This feature aims to attract potential customers to purchase these products.

Bluetooth Low Energy 기술은 IoT 환경의 개인 영역 통신 시스템의 발달과 함께 저전력 근거리 통신 기술의 대표되는 기술로써 현재까지 에너지 효율을 우선시하여 개발되어 왔다. 하지만 홈 네트워크 환경이나 공공지역에서 서비스되는 음성안내 등의 환경에서 Bluetooth Low Energy 기술이 적용될 경우 Broadcast 형태의 음성 데이터 전달이 요구될 수 있으며, 이 경우 Bluetooth Low Energy를 포함한 대부분의 저전력 근거리 통신 기술에서는 Duty Cycle 등의 에너지 고효율 정책으로 인하여 Broadcast 데이터 수신에 대한 신뢰성이 보장되기 힘들기 때문에, 보편적으로 n-repetition 방식의 데이터 전달 방식을 적용하고 있다. 본 고에서는 이러한 n-repetition 방식의 데이터 전달에 대한 중복 송신에서 발생되는 에너지 소모를 개선시키고자 Nack 기반의 선택적 재전송 형태의 새로운 Broadcast 기법을 제안하며, 실험을 통하여 이에 대한 효율성을 검증하였다.

When the mountain accident occurred, the accident victims should inform anyone of information of the location and accident situation rapidly. But if you are in the radio shadow area where you cannot use GPS, 3G/4G, and wireless communication, you can't inform someone your accidents. In this paper, we suggest the emergency rescue request notification service in situation that victims can't report their accidents. This service is to send request message for rescue in radio shadow area, in mountain accident, by BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy).

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies are perhaps the most prominent examples of wireless communication technologies used in the Internet of Things (IoT) environment. Compared to widely used Wi-Fi, Bluetooth technology has some flaws including 1:1 connection (one-way) between Master and Slave, slow transmission, and limited connection range; Bluetooth is mainly used for connecting audio devices. Since the release of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), some of the flaws of Bluetooth technology have been improved but it still failed to become a competitive alternative of Wi-Fi. This paper presents a method of data transmission through broadcasting in BLE and demonstrates its performance, one-to-many data transfer result. The Connection-Free Data Transmission proposed in this paper will hopefully be utilized in special circumstances requiring 1:N data transmission or disaster security network.

The reliability and performance of WiFi need optimization because of the rising number of WiFi users day by day. A highlighted point is saving power while transmitting and receiving packets using WiFi devices. Wake-on-Wlan (WoW) is also implemented to improve energy consumption, but it also needs betterment. This paper will introduce universal ideas to transmit and receive packets using low-power technology like Bluetooth or BLE (Bluetooth low energy). While looking for power-saving ways in this research, WiFi connection and maintenance also take care using lesser power-consuming technology. Identifying different use-cases where low power technology can help save energy and maintain 802.11 connection is part of the research. In addition, the proposed method discuss energy saving with unicast and broadcast/multicast data. Calculation of power-saving and comparison with standalone WiFi usage clearly shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) is a representative break-through communication technology for wireless personal area networks on nowaday. In this environment, most of significant performance should be aiming to energy efficiency due to the policy for manufacturing light-weighted communication devices derived from requirement of world IoT market, and many researches have been developed to satisfy this requirement. While Bluetooth LE has been leading the low power communication technology required from the current market by employing duty cycle and frequency hopping approaches, it couldn't address the problem of reliability on broadcast transmissions. The main goal of this paper is aiming to addressing this problem by suggesting a new method. Furthermore analytic evaluations would also be proceeded to find objective results in the view point of broadcast transmission efficiency from Master device.

Location awareness is an important capability for mobile-based indoor services. Those indoor services have motivated the implementation of methods that need high computational load cost and complex mechanisms for positioning prediction. These mechanisms, such as opportunistic sensing and machine learning, require more energy consumption to achieve accuracy. In this paper, we propose the Bluetooth Low Energy indoor zone detection (BLEIZOD) technique. This method exploits the concept of proximity zone to reduce the load cost and complexity. Our proposed method implements the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) function more effectively to gain accuracy and reduce energy consumption.

In this study, we analyzed the variations in the received signal strength index (RSSI) measured from Bluetooth beacons based on the strength and propagation direction of Bluetooth low energy (BLE) signal. Using a smartphone, we performed field experiments to investigate RSSI variations in the BLE signal transmitted by non-directional and directional beacons in an amethyst mine. In case of non-directional beacons, as the distance between the Bluetooth beacon and smartphone decreased, the RSSI increases, whereas as the BLE signal strength increased, the RSSI average gradually increased. The mean value of RSSI measured from the directional beacons was changed without relation to the facing angle between the Bluetooth beacon and smartphone. The results of this study can be used as basic data for developing a Bluetooth beacon-based proximity warning system for underground mines.

Bluetooth is the key technology in the wireless connection of many Internet of Things (IoT) devices, especially focused on smartphones today. In addition, Bluetooth communication between the IoT device and the user is mainly performed via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), but as the Bluetooth technology gradually develops, the security vulnerability of the existing BLE is more prominent. Research on Bluetooth accessibility has been conducted steadily so far, but there is lack of research for data protection in Bluetooth communication. Therefore, in this paper, when sending and receiving data in BLE communication between IoT and users, we propose effective methods for communicating with each other through the Format Preserving Encryption Algorithm (FEA), not the plain text, and measures performance of FEA which is optimized in Arduino and PC.
