1. A data forwarding method in a Bluetooth Mesh network, comprising:
receiving packets forwarded at different transmission rates;
adjusting a relay state of a current node based on transmission rates of received packets with a same identifier; and
determining whether the received packets with the same identifier have different transmission rates;
if the received packets with the same identifier only have a single transmission rate, enabling a relay by the current node to forward the received pack with the identifier; and
if the received packets with the same identifier have different transmission rates, disabling the relay by the current node to discard the received packets with the identifier.
