Abstract
Systems and methods for implementing Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communications are provided. In some aspects, a method includes receiving, by a first BLE device, a first advertisement packet from a second BLE device. The first advertisement packet includes a payload encrypted based on a predetermined key. The method also includes decrypting the payload of the first advertisement packet using the predetermined key. The method also includes processing, by the first BLE device, the decrypted payload. At least one of the receiving, the decrypting, or the processing is performed without a BLE connection being established between the first BLE device and the second BLE device.
