Inter-Piconet Scheduling in Bluetooth Scatternets

bstract luetooth enables wireless communication via ad-hoc networks. he basic topology (piconet) is a collection of slaves controlled y a master. A scatternet is a multihop network of piconets. Effiient scatternet data flow requires design of inter-piconet schedling algorithms. This paper presents and evaluates a load adapve scheduling algorithm based on the Bluetooth hold mode. An PNET model of a Bluetooth scatternet has been developed in rder to evaluate the performance of the algorithm. We present e model and analytic results, used to verify the performance of e model. Then, we evaluate the performance of various intraiconet scheduling algorithms. Finally, we present simulation esults regarding inter-piconet scheduling and show that the proosed algorithm outperforms scheduling algorithms using the niff mode.
