Abstract
In this paper, a topology-configurable method for forming a Bluetooth scatternet is proposed. The heuristic method describes two mechanisms, the const-hop algorithm and the variant-hop algorithm. With a constant k parameter, the const-hop algorithm propagates k in its downstream direction to determine roots and constructs their associated subnets. With a constant k, a counter variable v, and a return variable r as parameters, the variant-hop algorithm generates appropriate roots locally and evenly configures the subnet size.A computer simulation shows that the proposed method achieves good network scalability and generates an efficient scatternet configuration for a Bluetooth multihop network.
