    摘要: A method for processing a data packet at a node in a Bluetooth Mesh network, comprising: (a) determining a one-hop device cache list of the node, wherein the one-hop device cache list comprises an address of one or more one-hop nodes; (b) when the node sends a data packet, checking whether a destination address of the data packet is the same as an address stored in the one-hop device cache list; if yes, setting a TTL value of the data packet to 0 and sending the data packet; otherwise, setting the TTL value of the data packet to be greater than a specified TTL threshold, and sending the data packet; and (c) when the node forwards a data packet, checking whether the destination address of the data packet is the same as an address stored in the one-hop device cache list; if yes, setting the TTL value of the data packet to 1 and forwarding the data packet; otherwise, deducting the TTL value of the data packet by 1 and forwarding the data packet. According to the present disclosure, the problem of signal interference in a dense Bluetooth Mesh network may be significantly reduced.
