Abstract

Bluetooth technology allows the use of WPANs where cables have been replaced by temporary radio connections between the different network devices. The goal of this paper is to present and evaluate a new scatternet formation algorithm that makes it possible to communicate between nodes that are not close enough to communicate directly using Bluetooth. The algorithm gives a reliable and strong network topology where several paths can be found between every two different terminals. In addition, the degree of connectivity between network terminals can be controlled by setting the parameters of the proposed link consolidation mechanism. The analysis of this new method has been made using values acquired by simulation and following scatternet quality indicators.
