Relay Based Performance Metrics of Bluetooth Scatternet Scheduling

Abstract


Bluetooth is an emerging mobile ad-hoc network that accredits wireless communication to connect various short range devices.  A single hop network called piconet is the basic communication topology of bluetooth which allows only eight active devices for communication among them seven are active slaves controlled by one master. Multiple piconets are interconnected through a common node, known as Relay, to form a massive network called as Scatternet. It is obvious that the performance of Scatternet scheduling is highly dependent and directly proportionate with the performance of the Relay node.  In contrary, by reducing the number of Relays, it may lead to poor performance, since every Relay has to perform and support several piconet connections.  The primary focus of this study is to observe the performance metrics that affects the inter-piconet scheduling since the Relay node’s role is like switch between multiple piconets. In this paper, we address and analyze the performance issues to be taken into consideration for efficient data flow in Scatternet based on Relay node.
