To allow this scenario https://blog.benjamin-cabe.com/2017/01/16/using-mqtt-sn-over-ble-with-the-bbc-microbit to work better.

Hi Ian,

It requires having somewhere MQTT-SN Forwarder encapsulation (#27) on each end, right?

I believe it should be added into the gateway.

Hi Michal,

I don't know if it requires encapsulation. I must admit to not understanding when encapsulation is needed - I probably haven't thought about it enough.

I'm going to study about BLE UARTService from Nordic.
I think the Gateway can directory connect to the BLE networks. so, there's no chance to use encapsulation message. the purpose of the encapsulation message is forwarding the message to the gateway which can not directly connect to the client's network.

Latest version of Bluez library was released this September. http://www.bluez.org/download/
It supports the BLE meshnetwork https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/mesh-specifications.

As a gateway, it is better to adopt this Mesh network without forcing the UARTService which is lacking in function. I thought of a power technique to wait for L2CAP sockets with select () in order to realize 1: N communication, but I think that adopting Mesh network will solve this problem. The micro: bit will support BLE Mesh network either, I will decide to go on a royal road. Any help would be appreciated.

I implemented a Forwarder encapsulation message (#27).

I added Serial port Forwarder encapsulated frames support in my fork here: arekmd@5f9c82f

It was implemented as new SensorNetwork module.

I was not aware, that Tomoaki is working on similar enhancement. Anyway, I decided to not create 'pull request' because those changes are not compatible.

Hi Arek,

Thank you for your information.
I thought the gateway should support Forwarders and Clients simultaneously.
So, I decided to add Forwarder class to the gateway. and also ClientProxy class for QoS-1. #34
More than one Forwarder can connect to the gateway.
I have implemented all the functions specified in the specification, I think.

The BLE implementation I'm coding requires bluetooth / bluetooth.h and libbluetooth.
It can run only on Linux.

RFCOMM of Bluetooth classic is implemented. I don't know how to connect a BLE RFCOMM.
Can anyone help me?
I will push it as a future branch.

I think the architecture of the ble sensor network, which does not use
threads per socket, can be applied to DTLS.

Known bug:
Occasionally a timeout error occurs when connecting to RFCOMM.
BLE is not supported yet. I need help to do it.

micro:bits uses Nordic uart service. So, GW needs a GATT NUS running on a linux.
Any information is appreciated.
