 I have a question regarding the BLE mesh specification. When you are transmitting data using advertising frames, how does it check if the transmission medium is already in use? For example Bluetooth BR uses a kind of TDMA to schedule everything</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 24 May 2018 12:40:22 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/34724/how-does-mesh-checks-it-the-medium-is-already-in-use" /><item><title>RE: How does mesh checks it the medium is already in use?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/133249?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 24 May 2018 12:40:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:ab201692-806f-41d0-803e-bc729868ecaf</guid><dc:creator>tesc</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You are correct that Bluetooth Mesh does not check for collisions. It relies on limiting radio usage, retransmission, and acknowledgement packets for reliable transmission.&lt;/p&gt;
