Abstract
The BUBBLE-BLUE (BB) project aims to create private Bluetooth bubbles on top of smartphones and to create a kind of terrestrial STARLINK network based on users smartphones.. In each private bubble, participants will be able to communicate autonomously, without recourse to private operator networks, neither data nor cellular, relying solely on the Bluetooth technology of smartphones. The routing strategy is based on dynamic Connected Dominant Sets (CDS). We present the specific features of a BB network as well as some simulation results on their routing performance.
