Abstract
The Bluetooth Specifications Group recently released a new version of Bluetooth, called Bluetooth
Low Energy. It is ideal for battery-powered IoT devices that do not require continuous streaming
of information because it is more power efficient and relays information in short bursts, rather than
continuously. The asynchronous nature of communication between the Bluetooth Smart nodes
introduces a new challenge in terms of routing data among the different nodes. This project
developed a simulation tool that simulates how Bluetooth Low Energy creates scatternets among
different nodes as well as how routing is achieved. The ability of the routing algorithm to find the
shortest route was also tested for and it was shown to be affected by the size of the network.
