Video streaming over overlaid bluetooth piconets (OBP)

In a large scale Bluetooth network, scatternet has been regarded as the only interconnection method among piconets. But, most Bluetooth devices do not support scatternet connection. Moreover, in high mobility situations, scatternet is not useful because of frequent disconnections and reconnections. Overlaid Bluetooth Piconets (OBP) interconnects piconets and forms a virtual scatternet. This demo shows the possibility of using OBP instead of Scatternet for Video Streaming. Categories and Subject Descriptors C.2.1 [Network Architecture and Design]: Wireless Communication – Wireless Personal Area Network, Bluetooth Piconet interconnection.
