Abstract

Bluetooth is a low cost wireless technology for short range device. The Bluetooth system can be used for different kinds of data exchange; it carries both synchronous and asynchronous data traffic. Bluetooth basic network is called piconet; multiple connected piconets are called scatternet. The scatternet structure has a great impact on the network performance. Without considering the traffic flow, a scatternet may suffer from serious congestion problem. The objective of this research work is to propose a new Bluetooth Inter-piconet Congestion Avoidance (ICA) protocol by network restructuring. The main objectives of proposed protocol are to share the traffic load and find the shortest routing path for pairs of Bluetooth sources and destinations. Simulation results show that proposed protocol reduces control overhead, decreases delay and improves network throughput.
