This paper represents a first step in exploring the formation of connected topologies in ad-
hoc networks built on the Bluetooth technology. Connectivity is the most basic requirement …

This paper introduces a number of problems faced by the Bluetooth technology when
attempting to use it for building adhoc networks. The paper provides a brief overview of …

Bluetooth is a promising new technology for short range, low power, low cost, pico‐cellular
wireless connectivity between mobile devices. Efficient clustering or topology construction …

We investigate issues that Bluetooth may face in evolving from a simple wire replacement to
a large-scale ad hoc networking technology. We do so by examining the efficacy of …

We present a simple and fast distributed algorithm for Bluetooth network formation. Our
algorithm requires no knowledge on the underlying physical topology, and proceeds in only …

Bluetooth introduces ad hoc connectivity into the personal area. Although only the basic
single-hop star-shaped topology called piconet is currently available, Bluetooth will surely …

This chapter describes solutions to the fundamental problems that need to be addressed for
the self‐organization of Bluetooth devices into an ad hoc network. We describe the solutions …

This paper describes a new protocol for the estab-lishment of multihop ad hoc networks
based on Bluetooth devices. The proposed solution is specification compatible, and …

Bluetooth [1] is an emerging short range, wireless networking standard. Using Bluetooth
communication interfaces, a collection of devices can interconnect to form a scatternet. A set …

This paper describes a new protocol for the establishment of multihop ad hoc networks
based on Bluetooth devices. The proposed solution is specification compatible, and …
