An Overlapping Communication Protocol Using Improved Time-Slot Leasing for Bluetooth WPANs

Abstract. In this paper, we propose an overlapping communication protocol using improved time-slot leasing in the Bluetooth WPANS. One or many slave-master-slave communications usually exist in a piconet of the Bluetooth network. A fatal communication bottleneck is incurred in the master node if many slave-master-slave communications are required at the same time. To alleviate the problem, an overlapping communication scheme is presented to allow slave node directly and simultaneously communicates with another slave node to replace with the original slavemaster-slave communication works in a piconet. This overlapping communication scheme is based on the improved time-slot leasing scheme. The key contribution of our improved time-slot leasing scheme additionally offers the overlapping communication capability and we developed an overlapping communication protocol in a Bluetooth WPANs. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that our developed communication protocol achieves the perform...
