Abstract: A system and method to improve latency in a Bluetooth mesh network is disclosed. In many Bluetooth mesh networks, devices may not be available due to power saving mode or participation in other networks. This behavior slows the propagation of packets through the Bluetooth mesh network. To address this shortcoming, the method includes transmitting a periodic advertisement from a first, or originating, device. Contained within that periodic advertisement is schedule information associated with the transmission of mesh packets, which are typically transmitted at random times. The first device later transmits mesh packets in accordance with the schedule. This is referred to as a synchronized listening window configuration. Further, other devices in the mesh network also implement the synchronized listening configuration. In this way, packets are able to propagate through the mesh network more quickly.
