Abstract
Bluetooth is a emerging wireless technology for personal area networks(PANs). It can replace cables for PANs with its low cost, low power consumption properties. A small bluetooth network, a piconet, can be extended to form a larger ad hoc network; a scatternet. A scatternet requires a number of bluetooth devices capable of linking piconets as gateways. Bluetooth devices with multilple roles will act as gateways to link piconets. In this paper, we propose a new gateway selection mechanism for scatternet. The proposed method can automatically determine gateway only using a neighbor device list, its own role as a master or a slave and a master list. This method can reduce the load concentrated on masters and there is no limit on the number of devices participated in a scatternet. It can be also be implemented with an initial modification of the existing protocols. Simulation results show that proposed mechanism works correctly.
