Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure discloses a Bluetooth mesh network system having power management mechanism that includes low power nodes and a friend node. The friend node operates a part of the low power nodes under a first connection mode to establish a one-to-one connection with the friend node under a connection protocol. The friend node operates the other part of the low power nodes under a second connection mode to establish a many-to-one connection based on a broadcast protocol. The friend node sets a mode operation time threshold value and accumulates a mode connection time for each of the low power nodes. When the mode connection time of one of the low power nodes that operates under one of the first connection mode and the second connection mode reaches the corresponding mode operation time threshold value, the one of the low power nodes switches to operate under the other one of the first connection mode and the second connection mode.
