The bluetooth technology encompasses a simple low-cost, low-power, global radio system for
integration into mobile devices to solve a simple problem: replace the cables used on mobile devices
with radio frequency waves. Such devices can form a quick ad-hoc secure "piconet" and
communicate among the connected devices. While WLANs had good ad-hoc networking capabilities,
there was no clear market standard among them. Moreover, there were no global standards that can
be integrated and implemented into small handheld devices. Some market analysts predict that there
will be some 1.4 billion Bluetooth devices in operation by the year 2005 [1]. That is the reason we
replace the cable from the "Network Adapter" with a low-cost RF link that we now call Bluetooth.
However, the current specification1.1 [2][3] does not describe the algorithms or mechanisms to create
a scatternet due to a variety of unsolved issues. Since the upper layers are not defined in Bluetooth, it is
not possible to implement scatternet in current specification. Hence in this research, we need make
some modifications to Bluetooth protocol in order to support the transmissions of packets in scatternet.
In this paper we describe a novel scatternet architecture, and present link performance results of the
proposed architecture.
