In this thesis, interference phenomena of bluetooth networks requiring Security were minimized; strengthened security of piconet by assigning an identical PIN code to bluetooth devices, which was establishing a specific piconet during authentication stage. To establish a bluetooth piconet system. an unique ID was assigned to each bluetooth device, communication algorithms having different data formats between devices was designed, and an embedded hardware module using ARM processor and uCOS-II RTOS was implemented. About 30% of CPU efficiency in the module was increased by modifying functions including block parameters to work as nonblocking; by the increased efficiency of total piconet, the module could be used as an access point. The module could transmit maximum 10 frames of image and also audio signal by switching the packet effectively according to channel condition. By above-mentioned process, video, audio, and data could be well transmitted by the bluetooth managing program and the possibility of a commercial remote control system using bluetooth technology was suggested.

We consider differentiated bandwidth allocation for a piconet in short-range wireless personal network systems : Bluetooth. Since bandwidth requirements nay vary among applications/services, and/or it may change over time, it is important to decide how to allocate limited resources to various service classes to meet their service requirements. We propose a simple and efficient bandwidth allocation mechanism which meets bandwidth requirements of various service types while saving power consumption by a Power saying mode, i.e., sniff node. We compare our proposed mechanism with a conventional (weighted) round-robin polling scheme and show that it achieves significant improvement of hroughput, delay, and power consumption.

In accordance with the changes in the wireless communication environment, there has been a great need to satisfy the demand for diverse modes of information exchange. Various types of short-distance wireless communication technology have been developed and studied to meet this demand. Among them, Bluetooth which has recently been acclaimed as the standard for short-distance wireless communication, has been the focus of many such studies. However, Bluetooth has weaknesses in its suuity features when its in security services are applied to Home networks. The purpose of this study is to propose a safe Bluetooth scenario with an upgraded suity feature. This paper first reviews the general characteristics and security features of Bluetooth together with an analysis of its weaknesses, and presents the formation and maintenance process of Bluetooth piconet what is created by using ECDSA and group key in the ACL(Asynchronous Connection-less Link) connection through a safe Bluetooth inquiry process.

In this paper, we proposed the method called "DoublePico"(Double Piconet) forovercoming low data transmission rate in a scatternet. This needs a new Ad-hoc network topology to transmit with high rate. Every node performs the function of the relay station. DoublePico has two bluetooth devices that should form two different poconets; every node can make a link between two different piconets. Two different piconets are linked in one node by the link with two bluetooth divices thereby forming the Ad-Hoc network. In this paper, we shows the method of DoublePico which supports about 457kbps of the maximum data transmission rate. This method supports a higher data transmission rate than the traditional bluetooth's Ad-Hoc topology by using analysis and comparison of existing algorithm of bluetooth specification and simulation results. Specifically, this paper focuses on the impact of intererence on the PER (Packet Error Rate), throughput performance, and the throughput improvement with SAW(Stop and Wait)-ARQ scheme in DoublePico.

블루투스는 본래 이동전화 핸드셋, 헤드셋, 그리고 휴대형 컴퓨터와 같은 장치를 연결하는 케이블을 제거하기 위해 개발된 것으로 저가, 저 전력, 단거리의 무선 기술이다. 그러나 전자 제품간에 표준화된 무선 통신이 가능하게 됨으로 인하여 블루투스는 휴대전화나 PDA, 노트북 PC 와 같은 모바일 기기에 부착되어 무선 ad-hoc 네트워크를 구성할 수 있게 되었다. 블루투스는 시분할 다중화 시스템(TDM) 방식으로 최대 8 개의 블루투스 기기가 모여 하나의 채널을 공유하는 '피코넷(piconet)' 을 형성할 수 있고 여러 개의 피코넷을 연결하여 '스캐터넷(scatternet)' 이라는 더 큰 네트워크를 구성할 수 있다. 이러한 블루투스 네트워크에서 기존의 브로드캐스트 서비스는 단순한 재전송 방식으로 인해 신뢰성과 효율성에 있어서 많은 문제점을 안고 있으며 블루투스의 특징을 고려하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 블루투스 네트워크에서 브로드캐스트 패킷의 수신을 보장하면서 대역폭을 효율적으로 사용하는 브로드캐스트 패킷 전송 기법을 제시하고자 한다.

The emergence of Bluetooth as a radio interface scheme has allowed electronic devices to be instantly interconnected as ad-hoc networks. These short range ad-hoc wireless networks are called piconets, operated in the unlicensed 2.45 GHz ISM(Industrial, Scientific, Medical) band where up to eight devices may be used to configure single or overlapping piconets. In this paper, we have simulated the PER(Packet Error Rate), the ratio of received packet and payload BER(Bit Error Rate) of piconet with packet types of Bluetooth ACL/SCO(Asynchronous Connection Less/Synchronous Connection Oriented) link over wireless ad-hoc environment. The Rayleigh fading effects are considered as channel model, and the simulation results are based on the baseband model of Bluetooth specification. From the simulation results, the PER and the throughput of Bluetooth piconet are sensibly affected by the packet type of ACL/SCO link.

Security in WPAN is one of the most fundamental issues to overcome the barrier of wireless environment. Although piconet security mechanisms have been defined in the WPAN standards, many remains open and are left for implementation. Koinonia is a high-rate Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) technology, and is developed for multimedia traffic transmission in personal area. In Koinonia WPAN, a piconet consists of one master and more than one slave, and piconet security mechanisms is not defined at all. Therefore, we propose a robust piconet security mechanism for secure communications between slaves in a piconet. Based on security requirements analysis, our proposed protocols are shown to meet the security needs for Koinonia high-rate WPAN.

This paper proposes a novel non-coherent TOA estimation scheme using multiple correlation process on the existence of multiple simultaneously operating piconets (SOPs). Impulse radio-ultra wideband (IR-UWB) based on direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) using Gold sequence is employed in order to discriminate each piconet. In order to enhance the characteristic of correlation, this paper presents the method of multiple mask operation (MMO). The time of arrival (TOA) of direct line of sight (DLOS) path is estimated via two step coarse/fine timing detection. To verify the performance of proposed scheme, two distinct channel models approved by IEEE 802.15.4a Task Group (TG) are considered. According to the simulation results, it could conclude that the proposed scheme have performed better performance than the conventional method well even in densed indoor multi-path environment as well as in the existence of multiple SOPs.

Bluetooth, in radio network environment, is a small local radio communication that is available with low expense and little power use. It is specified for the wireless connect in a small area between Network Excess Point, portable devices such as mobile phones. PDAs and portable PCs, and other per peripheral equipment. Bluetooth is consisted of a master and a piconet having seven slaves in a maximum and finally has a scatternet gathering lot of piconet. The thesis tries to design the most effective structure of a scatternet by the number of nodes and the type of scatternet such as linear and ring for its mechanism. then the performance evaluation is realized through the Bluehoc simulator based on the NS. Finally the most appropriate radio network environment is made by the comparison and analysis of the characteristics of liner and ring scatternets.
