1. A Bluetooth mesh network system having a communication range extending mechanism, comprising:
a plurality of nodes; and
a provisional node configured to transmit a connection setting packet to the nodes to control the nodes to establish a coded PHY connection between each two of the nodes, such that a packet error rate is kept to be not larger than a threshold value when the nodes perform communication under a condition that a physical distance between each two of the nodes is larger than a maximum non-coded-PHY communication distance, in which when the nodes establish a non-coded-PHY connection and the physical distance is larger than the maximum non-coded-PHY communication distance, the packet error rate is larger than the threshold value.
