The KOINONIA is developed to communicate with connection of the short-range devices by the technique of the WPAN. The piconet consists of one master and slaves above one, the multi-poconet consists of parent piconet and child piconets which is formed the basis of parent piconet. The child piconet consists of the child master and slaves. The child master takes a role of the master in the child piconet and the slave in the parent piconet. In this paper, the multi-piconet is made as above, then we estimate the max capacity of assigned CTA by level, number of slaves in child piconet. A super-frame is the maximum 65.535ms of usable capacity. Because of it is a fued number, We suggested quantitatively the fixed reduction of an usable capacity by increases of number of slave and child-master in the piconet. And we analyze the reduction of an available capacity by the increase of number of child piconet.

Every bridge node participating in multiple piconets and forming a scatternet should schedule the inter-piconet traffics in an efficient manner. Frequent piconet switching due to short polling intervals for the links of a bridge node leads to considerable time slots loss caused by the guard time and power consumption for transceiving and processing. On the other hand, restrained piconet switching may result in failures of fulfilling QoS (Quality of Service) requirements for some links. Tn this paper, we present a QoS aware inter-piconet scheduling scheme minimizing the piconet switching events within guaranteed QoS requirements. According to simulation results, the proposed scheme is confirmed to have great improvement in throughput and number of switching events over the credit scheme as current inter-piconet scheduling scheme for the scatter mode.

본 논문에서는 802.15.3 piconet의 에너지 소비량을 측정하는 시뮬레이터의 구현에 대해 얘기하고자 한다. 에너지 소비를 줄이는 것은 우선 네트워크에서 가장 중요한 이슈중의 하나이다. 하지만 현재 piconet의 에너지의 소비량 또는 piconet의 생존시간물 측정해주는 simulator는 아직 나와 있지 않다. 그래서 에너지 소비를 줄이기 위한 알고리즘을 개발 하였을 때, simulator의 부재로 인해 성능의 측정이나 알고리즘의 효율성을 측정 하는 것에 어려움을 가지고 있다. 따라서 이에 관련한 simulator의 구현은 필수적인 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 piconet에서의 전체 에너지의 소비량과 에너지 소비에 따르는 piconet의 생존시간을 측정할 수 있는 simulator를 구현 하고자 한다.

Bluetooth is the wireless solution which lay emphasis on Short Range, Low Power, Low Cost using a 2.4GHz frequency hopping. And the wireless interface of digital machinery and the various application studies, which are based on that, is making progress lively. This paper provides "Ethernet Connection for Bluetooth Piconet". Ethernet Connection is usually used in our life and can make the Connection of Internet for Bluetooth Piconet. Therefore, this system forms the basis of "Home or Office Remote Control System".

Bluetooth는 기기들간에 고정된 제어 장치를 갖지 않고 각각의 이동 기기가 스스로piconet 이라는 불리는 네트워크를 구성하게 되고, 이 piconet을 확장하여 scatternet을 구성하게된다. 이 scatternet의 형태는 Bluetooth 망 전체 성능에 큰 영향을 미치게 되는데. 본 논문에서는 지금까지 제시된 scatternet의 구성 방법들을 알아보고 scatternet을 구성하기 위해 piconet간에 공유되는 bridge 노드의 숫자를 2개까지 늘려서 원활한 통신과 안정적인 망 구성을 위한 방안을 제시한다. 또한, 성능 분석을 위하여 Bluetooth 전문 시뮬레이터인 IBM의 BlueHoc을 사용하여 bridge 노드수와 scatternet을 구성하는 piconet수의 변화에 따른scatternet의 성능을 모의 실험을 통해 측정하여 보았다.

The IEEE 802.15.3 high-rate WPAN has been developed to communicate with devices within l0m. A piconet consists of one Piconet Coordinator (PNC) and several devices. The devices associated with a parent piconet can become child PNCs in order to form child piconets. A mesh network made up of a parent piconet and several child piconets can support multi-hop communications. In this paper, we analyze the maximum level and the avaliable superframe size to make the best use of bandwidth for multi-hop communications, and compare the analysis with the simulation results in terms of time to discover devices for multi-hop communications. The average number of levels in mesh networks is shown to be about 1.9 when the number of devices increases within a fixed area. We have also shown that the maximum available superframe size is 52ms and the discovery time is approximately 155ms.

If the PNC is shutting down or wants to leave the WPAN, it uses the handover process to give control to another device in the piconet. However when the PNC is selected, only the device capability information is checked in the WPAN standard specification and no detail criteria is described. In this paper, the PNC selection method with considering the number and density of device to maximize the piconet data throughput in the WPAN is studied. From the numerical analysis results, the considering with the devices concentration has higher data throughput compared with the uniform distribution. For the efficient performance, the device distribution within the piconet should be considered in the PNC selection.

A Bluetooth ad hoc network can be formed by interconnecting piconets into scatternet. Many algorithms of scatternet formation have been proposed so far. However, these have a problem that takes a long time to reform scatternet, especially for the case of master moving out. In this paper we propose a Fast-Recovery algorithm. which aims at reducing the time of scatternet reformation owing to master moving out. In the algorithm, we select a slave with the weigh similar to its master as Sub-Master from a piconet device table created by the master When a master leaves its piconet is detected by its slaves, the Sub-Master becomes the new master of the piconet instead of the old and directly connect to other slaves and bridge(s) through piconet device table in page state.

This paper presents a multi-channel enhancement scheme for the MAC protocol of IEEE 802.15.3 High-rate WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network). The current MAC protocol of the IEEE 802.15.3 High-rate WPAN is designed for sharing a single channel among DEVs of a piconet; that is, within a single piconet, PNC prevents interference through MAC layer assignment of time slots to other DEVs using time-division multiple access. When the number of DEVs that communicate with each other frequently, is increased in a single WPAN, the size of the superframe becomes inevitably large, and this may result in a significant throughput drop or a failure to provide QoS guarantee. A multi-channel enhancement scheme for the MAC protocol of IEEE 802.15.3 High-rate WPAN is proposed to significantly increase the aguegate throughput and more reliably provide the QoS guarantees in a piconet

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN), standardized as IEEE 802.15.6, enable digital devices on/around the human body to communicate with one another. WBAN is essentially a person's piconet consisting of a master (mobile) device and several slave devices, which follows his/her mobility pattern, and hence, occasionally collides with another piconet as people meet or pass by. As such, a mechanism to detect collision and avoid interference is needed for intra-piconet communications. In this paper, we focus on this notorious problem of piconet collision and propose Distributed Time Division Piconet Coexistence (DTDPC) using local time offset exchange as a simple, attractive solution. The proposed DTDPC provides different level of services for various applications. Besides our simulation results have shown that the proposed solution outperforms the conventional CSMA protocols.
