BLE’s low-energy performance and widespread deploymentin mobile devices makes it an excellent candidate for a varietyof applications, including many emerging application domains.Traditional application scenarios can take advantage of all inherentBLE functionality immediately and include examples found in Indoor Positioning Systems (IPS), health monitoring, and homeautomation. In contrast, many emerging applications cannot readily use BLE and thereby may require further modifications orenhancements, including applications in smart infrastructure, vehicular networks, mobile payments and data streaming. While BLEbeacons only represent one specific realization of the BLE technology (and previous work has investigated its use in IoT applicationsin depth [29,30]), this paper focuses on other forms of BLE technology, such as Bluetooth Dual Mode or BLE-only chipset. In this section, we briefly summarize the traditional application domains ofBLE, and review some attempts of using BLE in emerging domains.
