Abstract
In this chapter, we propose a new protocol to construct ad hoc network using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Especially, we are focusing on using advertising packet of BLE to construct ad hoc network, since the reach of advertising packet of BLE is longer than ordinary Bluetooth and WiFi. We would like to use ad hoc network to develop support tool for disaster victims, especially disabled people, group management tool to keep safe during school trip or beacon network management for navigation. In this application, we have to consider power consumption and longer reach. To solve this problem, we designed an ad hoc network protocol to construct ad hoc network efficiently using advertising packet of BLE. We implemented this protocol on iOS and performed experiments using 9 terminals. As the result of experiments, the latency of end-to-end was 2.2 s and that of one hop was less than 0.3 s. We think that the result shows the feasibility to construct ad hoc network for our purpose.
