Scatternet Structure and Inter-Piconet Communication in the Bluetooth System
نویسندگان
چکیده
In pico-cellular wireless systems such as Bluetooth, a large number of inter-communicating mobile devices can be present in a small area. Piconets are formed in an adhoc manner and may not be connected to the wired network. In this paper, we propose and study policies for design of piconets and inter-piconet communication (in the absence of connectivity to the wired network). We compare the throughput and the average system delays in a single piconet structure with a Scatternet structure (multiple overlapping piconets). We also study two models of inter-piconet communication in a Scatternet.

Inter-Piconet Scheduling in Bluetooth Scatternets
bstract luetooth enables wireless communication via ad-hoc networks. he basic topology (piconet) is a collection of slaves controlled y a master. A scatternet is a multihop network of piconets. Effiient scatternet data flow requires design of inter-piconet schedling algorithms. This paper presents and evaluates a load adapve scheduling algorithm based on the Bluetooth hold mode. An PNET model o...
متن کاملRouting Strategy for Bluetooth Scatternet
Bluetooth has been introduced into the marketplace as a new short-range radio technology to form small wireless systems called piconet. Nowadays an enhanced concept requests to be elaborated to enlarge these wireless networks referred as scatternet. In this paper we propose a hierarchical scatternet concept adapted for large amount of devices connected along each other with a predefined routing...
متن کاملCongestion control of bluetooth radio system by piconet restructuring
Bluetooth is a low-cost and short-range wireless communication technology. Two or more bluetooth devices connected form a piconet and two or more piconets connected form a scatternet through relay devices. Without the consideration of traffic flows, a scatternet may operate with serious congestion problem. Congestion problem can be resolved by either reduced traffic flows or increased bandwidth...
متن کاملA Traffic-Aware Scheduling for Bluetooth Scatternets1
Bluetooth scatternet is a set of piconets interconnected via bridge devices. A good inter-piconet scheduling is necessary for the bridge devices to switch among the piconets they participated. This paper proposes an inter-piconet scheduling algorithm, Traffic-Aware Scatternet Scheduling (TASS), for bridges in bluetooth scatternets. According to the traffic information of all masters that the br...
متن کاملA fault-tolerant distributed formation protocol for Bluetooth scatternets
A Bluetooth scatternet is a network topology that is formed by inter-connecting piconets. A piconet is a starshaped ad-hoc networking unit that can accommodate eight Bluetooth devices, a master and up to seven slaves. By designating certain piconet nodes as bridges, or gateways, we can interconnect piconets by forcing the bridge nodes to interleave their participation in multiple piconets. Brid...
