Internet usage and user interaction on mobile smart devices have grown exponentially with technological advancements, leading to a major challenge: rapid battery depletion. This study addresses this issue by proposing a novel communication network designed to reduce power consumption on smart mobile devices during internet communication. The proposed architecture leverages Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, known for its energy efficiency. The system comprises two main components: a hardware unit that manages internet tasks via Wi-Fi and transmits notifications to the mobile device using BLE, and a new dedicated smartphone application that receives these notifications and alerts the user. To evaluate the system's effectiveness, a custom measurement system was developed. This system assessed the power consumption of the smartphone in standby mode, measured the power consumption of an email application selected for testing purposes while different connectivity options (3G, LTE and Wi-Fi) were active, and finally assessed the power consumption of the new mobile application using the developed communication methods. The findings demonstrate that the proposed architecture offers significant advantages in scenarios requiring frequent communication.

“…They can live on the same battery for a very long time, but when the battery dies, the beacon must be replaced as batteries cannot be changed or charged. Different BLE beacons have different expected battery life [13], [14]. They are naturally in a sleep state, and they wake up every time there is a need to broadcast information.…”

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is one of the technologies that can be used for short-range communications. BLE beacons are small wireless devices that can store URLs and real-world data, including GPS locations and identifiers. This article proposes BeTwin, an efficient solution that integrates BLE beacons with a digital twin environment in order to enhance and customise a virtual 3D platform, bridging the real and virtual worlds. The beacons are used to bring information from real objects into the virtual platform. We extend the Eddystone messaging protocol and investigate the impact of beacon distance, energy levels, and number of beacons on the system performance. We also describe a testbed consisting of a virtual environment, a beacon reader along with beacons, and assess its performance in terms of communications latency, Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), and number of beacons.

Due to the popularity of short-range communications and the ultra-dense deployment of the Internet of Things (IoT), the occurrence of severe signal collision in crowded nodes is becoming increasingly critical. We propose a scheme called anti-collision voting based on Bluetooth low energy improvement for the ultra-dense edge, in which one topic can be identified and separated from the others to enable intensive voting. The scheme alleviates the exponential growth of advertising collisions and achieves efficient consensus between the devices and humans by localized the message advertising. The previous proposals focused on enhancing the hardware and optimizing the parameters to establish a connection for interaction. Considering the limitation of connective devices, our scheme adopts a novel advertising model in which the nodes can promptly exit the advertising state by actively responding. In addition, the scheme merges active responses into a group to notify the advertising nodes and randomly chooses a channel to reduce redundancy and save energy. The simulations demonstrate that the scheme can reduce the collisions by more than 90% and channel occupancy by half, while doubling the capacity and efficiently supporting intensive voting within edge networks.
