This paper presents a BLE beacon-based Hospital Positioning System designed to improve the efficiency and accuracy of patient tracking and positioning in hospital environments. The system uses trilateration to provide real-time, precise positioning information by having each patient wear a BLE bracelet that transmits signals received by the BLE beacons. The signal information is collected and aggregated by the BLE gateway and processed on a cloud platform to determine the patient's specific location. The system also includes optimization algorithms, such as a greedy algorithm to determine the placement and number of BLE beacons, a shifting algorithm to smooth the RSSI values, and a trilateration algorithm to accurately calculate the patient's position. The proposed system has several advantages over traditional manual tracking methods, including improved accuracy, real-time tracking, and reduced workload for hospital staff. The system is scalable, flexible, and easy to deploy, and it can be customized to meet the specific needs of different hospitals. The system has been tested in a real hospital environment, and the results show that it is effective and reliable. This paper provides a new perspective and solution to improve healthcare services, especially patient tracking and positioning in hospital environments.

this paper proposes an android-based application to help the users to navigate in finding books in the library easily and interactively. This navigation application is connected to a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device that will emit an RSSI signal received by the Smartphone user and show the desired distance to the bookshelf position. The method of triangulation and mean filter were used to eliminate noise in the test environment to make the position of the bookshelf can be found precisely based on the RSSI BLE Beacon value. The test results showed the largest RSSI value for LOS conditions at -48dBm and NLOS at -63 dBm; while the lowest RRSI values for LOS conditions was at -84dBm and NLOS was at -96dBm.

“…Traditional Bluetooth networks were based on star topologies arranged in master-slave configurations [36][37][38]. Because such topologies are not scalable for supporting large numbers of IoT devices, recent BLE networks have focused on the use of Scatternets, which are hybrid star topologies, to enhance the network efficiency and scalability.…”

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Mesh Networks enable flexible and reliable communications for low-power Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Most BLE-based mesh protocols are implemented as overlays on top of the standard Bluetooth star topologies while using piconets and scatternets. Nonetheless, mesh topology support has increased the vulnerability of BLE to security threats, since a larger number of devices can participate in a BLE Mesh network. To address these concerns, BLE version 5 enhanced existing BLE security features to deal with various authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality issues. However, there is still a lack of detailed studies related to these new security features. This survey examines the most recent BLE-based mesh network protocols and related security issues. In the first part, the latest BLE-based mesh communication protocols are discussed. The analysis shows that the implementation of BLE pure mesh protocols remains an open research issue. Moreover, there is a lack of auto-configuration mechanisms in order to support bootstrapping of BLE pure mesh networks. In the second part, recent BLE-related security issues and vulnerabilities are highlighted. Strong Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are essential for detecting security breaches in order to protect against zero-day exploits. Nonetheless, viable IDS solutions for BLE Mesh networks remain a nascent research area. Consequently, a comparative survey of IDS approaches for related low-power wireless protocols was used to map out potential approaches for enhancing IDS solutions for BLE Mesh networks.
