Due to the changes in the wireless information environment, there has been an increased demand for various types of information. Accordingly, many wireless communication technologies have been studied and developed. In particular, studies on ubiquitous communications are well underway. Lately, the focus has been on the Bluetooth technology due to its applicability in various environments. Applying Bluetooth connectivity to new environments such as ubiquitous or sensor networks requires finding new wars of using it. Thus, this research analyzed the vulnerability on the limited number of slaves in a piconet configuration through the current Bluetooth communication and proposed an expanded Bluetooth piconet formation method, regardless of the number of slaves inside the piconet even if it is not configured in a scatternet. In the proposed method, we applied a security service and resolved the vulnerabilities of the current piconet by configuring an expanded form of the current tree-shaped structure.

In this paper, we propose the algorithm to reduce guard time of UWB MAC time slot for throughput gain. In the proposed draft by multiband ofdm alliance (MBOA), Guard time of each medium access slot (MAS) is composed of shortest inter-frame space (SIFS) and MaxDrift which is the time caused by maximum frequency offset among devices. In this paper, to reduceguard time means that we nearly eliminate MaxDrift term from guard time. Each device of a piconet computes relative frequency offset from the device initiating piconet using periodically consecutive transferred beacon frames. Each device add or subtract the calculated relative frequency offset to the estimated each MAS starting point in order to synchronize with calculated MAS starting point of the device initiating piconet. According to verification of simulations, if the frequency offset estimator is implemented with 8 decimal bit, the ratio of the wasted time to Superframe is always less than 0.0001.

IEEE 802.15.3 High Rate WPAN is a mechanism for wireless home network such as PDAs, digital video camcoder, etc. While symmetric keys are used for MAC layer security, the process of establishing a secure membership or a secure relationship is outside of the scope of the standard. In addition, to prepare for ubiquitous environment in the near future, it is important to study the process of establishing a secure relationship between DEVs in different dependent piconets. This paper propose a secure model and a process of establishing a secure relationship using PKI without a ousted certificate authority.

We model and simulate master-driven TDD wireless communication systems, e.g., Bluetooth systems. We model the Bluetooth system and use the BONeS simulation tool to conduct event-drivers simulations. In order to support more than seven slave devices in a piconet, a park mode is considered and modeled. We evaluate the performance, i.e., throughput and delay, using simulations when multi-connections (bath ACL and SCO connections) are present in a piconet. We show that the data rate of ACL connections may be less than 20 kbps when SCO connection(s) and more than six ACL connections are jointly supported in a piconet. In addition, if up to five ACL connections are supported, the average delay is shown to be maintained less than 20 msec. Our results can serve as a guideline to the design of master-driven TDD wireless communication systems with performance requirements.

IEEE 802.15.3에서 piconet 안의 PNC가 선택되는 방법은 각각 디바이스들의 능력을 기반으로 선택 된다. 이러한 PNC의 역할을 하는 디바이스는 piconet안에서 가장 많은 에너지를 소비하게 된다. PNC의 프레임 전송 범위는 PNC 에너지 소비와 밀접한 관련을 가지고 있다. 그래서 PNC역할을 하는 디바이스를 토폴로지 상의 중앙에 위치 시켜서 PNC의 프레임 전송 거리를 최소화한다. 이를 통해 PNC의 에너지를 절약하여 PNC역할을 하는 디바이스의 생존 시간을 연장 시키고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 PNC의 전송범위를 최소화 할 수 있는 piconet 토폴로지상의 위치를 정하는 방법에 대하여 제안하고 있다.

블루투스(Bluetooth) 스캐터넷(Scatternet)은 2개 이상의 피코넷(Piconet)을 연결함으로 구성되는 애드혹(ad hoc)네트웍이다. 피코넷은 하나의 마스터(Master)노드와 다수의 슬레이브(Slave)노드로 구성되는데 이때 마스터 노드는 슬레이브노드에 비해서 더 큰 파워를 소모하게 된다. 따라서 파워를 고려하러 블루투스 피코넷의 마스터를 선출한다면 피코넷의 수명을 늘릴 수 있을 뿐 아니라 전체 스캐터넷의 수명을 늘릴 수 있게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 파워를 고려한 피코넷 마스터 선출 알고리즘을 제안하고 더 나아가서 망이 한번 구성된 이후에도 파워를 고려해서 마스터를 재선출할 것을 제안한다.

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.

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.
