Abstract:
Bluetooth standard provides the necessary building blocks and mechanisms to
construct Bluetooth piconets and scatternets, but it does not define the
policies for these constructions. As part of this project, we investigate issues and factors
that are important in constructing Bluetooth scatternets and we
develop algorithms for this purpose that considers a number of different
performance metrics such as low delay, high network utilization, low traffic
blocking rate, etc. There are also various proposed algorithms in the
literature that aim
different objectives and considers different factors in establishing scatternets. We also compare our proposals with these algorithms and come up
with strategies that will help in making decisions about which algorithms and
protocols to use under which scenarios and conditions. As part of the project,
new Bluetooth and Wireless LAN (802.11b) applications for mobile environments will
be developed over our experimental test-bed that consists of stationary desktops
and mobile pocket PCs all of which are interconnected using Bluetooth and
802.11b
wireless networks.
