  • Bluetooth mesh routing with subnets
    Patent number: 11917520
    Abstract: A method for communicating amongst a plurality of peripherals within a mesh network including a first subnet and a second subnet including: receiving an advertisement from one or more peripherals of the plurality of peripherals, the advertisement including a hop count, a subnet identifier, and a unique subnet device identifier, the subnet identifier indicating the first subnet or the second subnet and the unique subnet device identifier indicating a specific peripheral of the plurality of peripherals within the mesh network; triggering a message send event; determining a desired stream direction within the mesh network; determining a desired subnet of the mesh network; determining a destination peripheral of the one or more peripherals within the desired subnet and in the desired stream direction in response to the hop count, the subnet identifier, and the unique subnet device identifier; connecting to the destination peripheral; and sending the message to the destination peripheral.
