Abstract:
Disclosed in the present disclosure is a method for provisioning a Bluetooth Mesh network, used for provisioning a plurality of non-provisioned devices, so as to add the plurality of non-provisioned devices to the Bluetooth Mesh network. The method includes: provisioning, by a top provisioner, surrounding non-provisioned devices of the top provisioner, so as to add the surrounding devices to the Bluetooth Mesh network as nodes; selecting, by a top provisioner, the one or more newly added nodes to be configured as one or more temporary provisioners; provisioning, by each of the one or more temporary provisioners, surrounding non-provisioned devices, so as to add the surrounding devices to the Bluetooth Mesh network as nodes; and completing, by the top provisioner and each of the one or more temporary provisioners, the provisioning of the plurality of non-provisioned devices. The method of the present disclosure may greatly improve the average provisioning speed of device, and ensure the unified allocation of key network information and the compatibility of provisioning on the premise of ensuring the provisioning security of the Bluetooth Mesh network.
