ABSTRACT
Bluetooth is an emerging technology for constructing adhoc wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs). In this paper we analyze an innovative scheduling algorithm for asynchronous data traffic specifically tailored to the Bluetooth characteristic. This algorithm, named Efficient Double-Cycle (EDC), dynamically adapts the polling frequency to the traffic conditions. By considering a scenario where a Bluetooth master is used as wireless access point to the Internet, we show that our EDC scheduler significantly enhances the system performance with regard to a Round Robin (RR) scheduler.
