Improving capacity in bluetooth ad-hoc networks
AbsrrucrBluetooth is a global de facto standard for wireless connectivity. Based on a low-cost, short-range radio link (10 meters), Bluetooth is used as a cablereplacement technology. Bluetooth enabled digital devices can connect and communicate via short-range ad hoc wireless networks. However, a device can only communicate with up to seven other devices per piconet. In this paper, we present some techniques aimed to increase the capacity of the Bluetooth wireless networks. The main advantage and disadvantage of each technique is pointed out. Finally, we provide some performance analysis and simulations of the proposed techniques.
