Not sure if this is good enough for you, but Xastir has an open-source
C implementation of smart beaconing with a lot of comments about how it
is implemented and how it works.

See https://github.com/Xastir/Xastir/blob/master/src/db.c around line 16040.
The function is "compute_smart_beacon" and the function itself starts around
line 16130 (so 90 lines of comment precede it).

This is by no means definitive documentation, but as it fully implements the
algorithm it might do for your purposes.
