Wireless ad hoc networks have been a growing area of research. While there has been
considerable research on the topic of routing in such networks, the topic of topology creation …

Bluetooth, a wireless technology based on a frequency-hopping physical layer, enables
portable devices to form short-range wireless ad hoc networks. Bluetooth hosts are not able …

Describes a protocol for the establishment of multihop ad hoc networks based on Bluetooth
devices. The protocol proceeds in three phases: device discovery, partitioning of the network …

In this paper, we address the problem of determining an optimal topology for Bluetooth
wireless personal area networks (BT-WPAN). In BT-WPAN, multiple communication …

A Bluetooth ad hoc network can be formed by interconnecting piconets into scatternets. The
constraints and properties of Bluetooth scatternets present special challegnes in forming an …

In this paper we describe BlueMesh, a new protocol for the establishment of scatternets, ie,
multi-hop wireless networks of Bluetooth devices. BlueMesh defines rules for device …

The emergence of Bluetooth as a default radio interface allows handheld electronic devices
to be rapidly interconnected into ad hoc networks. Bluetooth allows large numbers of …

Bluetooth is an open specification for short-range wireless communication and networking,
mainly intended to be a cable replacement between portable and/or fixed electronic devices …

Proximity awareness in Bluetooth technology is implemented via an asymmetric point to
point" sender-receiver" protocol where" senders" are trying to discover" receivers" in the …

A Bluetooth ad hoc network can be formed by interconnecting piconets into scatternets. The
constraints and properties of Bluetooth scatternets present special challenges in forming an …
