This is very inefficient in terms of energy consumption. Hence, we present BMADS, an asynchronous dynamic scanning mechanism designed to reduce the overall energy consumption of the mesh network. BMADS is implemented as a new feature for the currently published BLE mesh specifications without modifying its core. This feature reduces the scanning cycles of the nodes, but still ensuring the reliability. To make this possible, BMADS sends a new control message sequence before transmitting the data. This sequence puts the nodes into continuous scan mode, preparing the network for data TX. The proposal can be used in BLE sensor networks that can tolerate a certain TX delay and require especially low-energy consumption. BMADS allows a theoretical reduction in the energy consumption of the relay nodes up to 98%. 000131189 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T31-20R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/RTI2018-095684-B-100$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/RTI2018-099063-B-100$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/RTI2018-099880-B-C32 000131189 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000131189 590__ $$a10.238$$b2021 000131189 591__ $$aCOMPUTER SCIENCE, INFORMATION SYSTEMS$$b9 / 163 = 0.055$$c2021$$dQ1$$eT1 000131189 591__ $$aTELECOMMUNICATIONS$$b6 / 92 = 0.065$$c2021$$dQ1$$eT1 000131189 591__ $$aENGINEERING, ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC$$b18 / 274 = 0.066$$c2021$$dQ1$$eT1 000131189 592__ $$a3.848$$b2021 000131189 593__ $$aComputer Networks and Communications$$c2021$$dQ1 000131189 593__ $$aComputer Science Applications$$c2021$$dQ1 000131189 593__ $$aSignal Processing$$c2021$$dQ1 000131189 593__ $$aInformation Systems and Management$$c2021$$dQ1 000131189 593__ $$aInformation Systems$$c2021$$dQ1 000131189 594__ $$a17.1$$b2021 000131189 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000131189 700__ $$aValenzuela, J.L. 000131189 700__ $$aGarcia-Lozano, M. 000131189 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-0299-0859$$aHernandez-Solana, A.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000131189 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-2664-6339$$aValdovinos, A.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000131189 7102_ $$15008$$2560$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
