Abstract(in English) Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a short-range wireless communication characterized by low power consumption and has been applied to a variety of applications, mainly as a beacon. The BLE device periodically broadcasts packets to indicate its presence and sends such advertising packets via three advertising channels. However, previous studies have shown the possibility of further reducing power consumption by efficiently reducing the number of advertising channels (channel mask) and adjusting the interval between advertising packets. In this paper, we evaluate our proposed reinforcement learning method for efficient selection of the channel mask and advertising interval from the viewpoint of power consumption by simulations of BLE advertisement in various environments. The results show that the proposed method can achieve low power consumption without a significant loss of reliability.
