Energy-Efficient Bounded-Diameter Tree Scatternets for Bluetooth Networks
Overview Bluetooth is a promising wireless technology that enables devices to form short-range multihop wireless ad-hoc networks, or personal area networks. However, Bluetooth scatternet formation is one of the challenges that must be resolved since the performance of a Bluetooth network depends largely on the scatternet topology used. The paper first presents a height-balanced binary tree, termed ACB-tree for almost-complete-binary tree, that allows two such trees to be combined to create a larger ACB-tree retaining the height-balance requirements. Next, the paper proposes a ATSF, a distributed scatternet formation algorithm for creating ACB-trees. The generated scatternet is shown to minimize the number of piconets and provide a logarithmic-diameter in the multihop interconnection network.
