Abstract

This paper focuses on the impact of topology on Bluetooth personal area network. We first present some observations on performance degradations of Bluetooth PAN due to network topologies, and then analyze its reason. Based on our analysis, we propose a flexible scatternet formation algorithm under conference scenario for multi-hop communication. By using proposed method, scatternet can be formed flexibly with different topologies under a controlled way. To utilize topology information in multi-hop communication, we propose a new link metric Load Metric(LM) information in multi-hop communication, we propose a new link metric Load Metric(LM) instead of number of hops. LM is derived from estimation of nodes’ link bandwidth, which reflects different roles of nodes in Bluetooth scatternet. This proposal helps routing protocol to bypass heavily loaded nodes, and find route with larger bandwidth. We present some experimental results based on implementation, which prove the effectiveness of our protocols.
