To fully exploit the capabilities of Bluetooth for the deployment of wireless ad-hoc networks, the scatternet concept has been proposed. A scatternet is constituted by an overlapping of simple structures named piconets, each composed of up to eight devices sharing the same radio channel. A scatternet may present different topological configurations, depending on the number of composing piconets, the role of the involved devices and the configuration of the links. This paper presents a general methodology for the scatternet formation and proposes metrics that can be used to evaluate a the scatternet performance. Several numerical examples are presented and discussed, highlighting the impact of metric selection on the scatternet performance.

Abstract
To fully exploit the capabilities of Bluetooth for the deployment of wireless ad-hoc networks, the scatternet concept has been proposed. A scatternet is constituted by an overlapping of simple structures named piconets, each composed of up to eight devices sharing the same radio channel. A scatternet may present different topological configurations, depending on the number of composing piconets, the role of the involved devices and the configuration of the links. This paper presents a general methodology for the scatternet formation and proposes metrics that can be used to evaluate a the scatternet performance. Several numerical examples are presented and discussed, highlighting the impact of metric selection on the scatternet performance.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
