Abstract
An apparatus includes a Bluetooth transceiver configured to receive a packet transmitted to a Bluetooth mesh network via a radio-frequency signal. The apparatus also includes a processing device coupled to the Bluetooth transceiver. The processing device is configured to determine a strength of the radio-frequency signal. The processing device is also configured to determine a time period based on the measure of strength of the radio-frequency signal. The processing device is further configured to determine whether the Packet was received again during the time period. The processing device is further configured to transmit the Packet to the Bluetooth mesh network in response to determining that the Packet was not received again during the time period.
