Active scanning and broadcasting of fully-configurable Bluetooth Low Energy advertising packets.
iBeacon technology, developed by Apple, utilizes Bluetooth Low Energy undirected advertising packets to determine proximity to a specific beacon.
Eddystone is a protocol specification, defined by Google, that defines Bluetooth LE formats for proximity beacon advertising, with different frame types.
