Abstract
The present disclosure is related to a system for managing data exchanges between Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices. The system includes a plurality of BLE devices. At least one BLE device is configured as a parent node and at least one BLE device is configured as a child node. The parent node is configured to receive a BLE packet, including data reported by the child node in a payload field of the BLE packet, and to use a location function to determine a location in the payload field for inserting data to be reported from the parent node. The parent node aggregates the data to be reported from the parent node and the data reported by the child node by inserting the data from the parent node into the determined location in the payload field of the BLE packet, and then broadcasts the BLE packet with the aggregated data.
