Are there any publications, from Nordic or academia, that give estimates on what would be the maximum capacity of a BLE mesh network?
I believe there is a hard limit of about 32000 nodes, but what about limits related to the capacity of the RF spectrum?
For instance, consider a large lecture room with a minimum number of relay nodes (maybe only one).
How many non-relay nodes can receive a broadcast message from the relay before the network becomes unreliable?
How many of the non-relay nodes can send a message to the relay (per unit of time) before the network becomes unreliable?
