Bluetooth was firstly announced in 1998. Originally designed as cable replacement
connecting devices in a point-to-point fashion its high penetration arouses interest in its ad …

Principles of Ad Hoc Networking presents a systematic introduction to the fundamentals of
ad hoc networks. An ad-hoc network is a small network, especially one with wireless or …

This paper describes the issue of piconet interconnection for Bluetooth technology. These
larger networks, known as scatternets, have the potential to increase networking flexibility …

Bluetooth standard allows the creation of piconets, with one node serving as its master and
up to seven nodes serving as slaves. Additional slaves must be parked, with significant …

Until now, developers and researchers interested in the design, operation, and performance
of Bluetooth networks have lacked guidance about potential answers and the relative …

We investigate issues that Bluetooth may face in evolving from a simple wire replacement to
a large-scale ad hoc networking technology. We do so by examining the efficacy of …

Sensor nodes are very weak computers that get distributed at random on a surface. Once
deployed, they must wake up and form a radio network. Sensor network bootstrap** …

This work addresses the problem of scattemet formation for single-hop Bluetooth based
personal area and ad hoc networks, with minimal communication overhead. Recent …

Abstract The Bluetooth Scatternet Formation (BSF) problem consists of interconnecting
piconets in order to form a multi-hop topology. While a large number of BSF algorithms have …

This paper addresses the problem of scatternet formation for single-hop Bluetooth based ad
hoc networks, with minimal communication overhead. We adopt the well-known structure de …
