Bluetooth is a radio technology for Wireless Personal Area Networks in the 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band and allows short-range devices to be connected in the form of ad hoc networks. The Bluetooth medium access control protocol is based on a strict master/slave concept wherein any communication between slave devices has to go through the master. While this model is simple, the use of such a nonoptimal packet forwarding scheme incurs much longer delays between any two slave-devices as double the bandwidth is used by the master. In addition, if two or more devices want to communicate as a group, this can only be achieved by either multiple unicast transmissions or a piconet-wide broadcast from the master. To handle these issues efficiently, we propose a novel combination of Dynamic Slot Assignment (DSA) and piconet partitioning. With DSA, the piconet master dynamically assigns slots to slaves so as to allow them to communicate directly with each other without any intervention from the master. Our proposed communication architecture provides for enhanced Quality of Service (QoS), better admission control, and multidevice conversation, which make a multicast-like communication feasible within the piconet. To widen the scope of DSA, we propose a QoS-aware Enhanced DSA (EDSA) version where dynamic piconet partitioning and scatternet support are exploited by grouping devices into piconets as per their connection endpoints, enabling it to be employed over a scatternet. We have performed extensive simulations and observe that these schemes drastically enhance Bluetooth performance in terms of the delay and the throughput, while significantly reducing the network power consumption.
