An Ad hoc Scatternet Formation Algorithm on Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a low cost, license-free, and short-range radio communication technology. This gradually gaining de facto standard for applications of a personal area network over the world. To make it further popular, it should provide faster and more flexible connectivity than that supported by the existing bluetooth specification. This paper proposes a new Ad hoc scatternet formation algorithm that supports those connectivity under circumstances such that devices can not get in direct touch with one another; say out-of-bounded case. It also maintains the character that those connectivity minimizes the number of piconets when all devices are in the communication range with one another, say in-bounded case, as pervious works.
