Abstract
In one embodiment, a device obtains telemetry data indicative of channel usage by a plurality of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) tags. The device also obtains tag characteristic data indicative of one or more characteristics of the BLE tags. The device determines that usage of a particular channel by the BLE tags exceeds a predefined threshold, based on the obtained telemetry data. The device selects a subset of the plurality of BLE tags, based on their one or more characteristics indicated by the obtained tag characteristic data. The device instructs, for each of the selected subset of BLE tags, the selected BLE tag to increase an interval of time between BLE advertisements sent by the selected BLE tag.
