AD HOC NETWORKING ADVANTAGES

SPONTANEOUSLY CREATED
TEMPORARY NETWORK
REQUIRES NO INFRASTRUCTURE

NETWORKING PROTOCOLS
PICONET

NETWORKING PROTOCOLS Cont.

SCATTERNET
DEVICES MAY PARTICIPATE IN SEVERAL
PICONETS ON A TDM BASIS
DEVICES IN SEVERAL PICONETS ARE
MASTER IN UP TO ONE PICONET
SLAVE IN ONE OR MULTIPLE
PICONETS

SCATTERNET cont.
CONNECTED SCATTERNET
RESILIENCE TO DISCONNECTIONS IN THE
NETWORK
ROUTING ROBUSTNESS (MULTIPLE PATHS)
LIMITED ROUTE LENGTH
SELECTION OF GATEWAY SLAVES (A SALVE BEING
A NEIGHBOR OF TWO MASTERS)
SMALL NUMBER OF ROLES PER NODE
SELF-HEALING (CONVERGE TO A NEW
SCATTERNET AFTER A TOPOLOGY CHANGE)

SCATTERNET FORMATION
BLUENET

BLUETREE

BLUEROOT GROWN BLUETREES

THE BLUEROOT STARTS PAGING ITS
NEIGHBORS ONE BY ONE.
IF A PAGED NODE IS NOT PART OF ANY
PICONET, IT ACCEPTS THE PAGE (THUS
BECOMING THE SLAVE OF THE PAGING
NODE).
ONCE A NODE HAS BEEN ASSIGNED THE
ROLE OF SLAVE IN A PICONET, IT INITIATES
PAGING ALL ITS NEIGHBORS ONE BY ONE,
AND SO ON.
