Abstract
This paper proposes BSFP (Bluetooth Scatternet Formation Protocol), which establishes a multi-hop bluetooth scatternet. BSFP independently operates on each bluetooth device, does not require any information on neighbor devices at the very beginning, and can establish a scatternet even though all the devices are spreaded beyond the bluetooth transmission range. BSFP is composed of the following three stages; 1) Init stage to investigate neighbor nodes, 2) Ready stage to establish a scatternet using gathered local information at each node, and 3) Complete stage to use the determined scatternet links. In BSFP, the scatternet formation time does not significantly affected by the number of bluetooth devices and a robust mobile ad hoc network is formed because BSFP formulates a scatternet with many adjacent links to neighbor devices.
