    Abstract: Devices and methods for using separate advertisement streams in a single beacon device are disclosed herein. An example beacon device includes at least one processor, a radio transceiver, and a memory. The memory may store instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the beacon device to receive a set of beacon information captured during a scan period. The instructions may further cause the beacon device to transmit a captured beacon stream (CBS) that includes beacon information from the set of beacon information. The instructions may further cause the beacon device to transmit, to a mobile device, a waypoint beacon stream (WBS) including a protocol data unit (PDU) data payload. The PDU data payload may encode a media access control (MAC) identifier adjacent to a type field indicative of a format for heartbeat data encoded in the PDU data payload.
