Bluetooth Information Exchange Network

Abstract

The paper discusses the development of a Bluetooth based information exchange network (BIEN). The network is based on the Bluetooth scatternet idea and governed by set of additional rules that helps regulating the information traffic. The architecture has been prototyped and tested on a typical network. Early investigation to the throughput on different piconet and scatternet size has yielded good results. The work presented here is an attempt at implementation of a distributed multi-hop scatternet with an integrated routing protocol. While the literature focuses on covering the modeling, this work focuses on the implementation.
