Bluenet II -- A Detailed Realization of the Algorithm and Performance
Zhifang Wang, Zygmunt J. Haas, Robert J. Thomas · 2003
The recent interest in ad hoc networks, in general,and in the Bluetooth technology, in particular, hasstimulated much research in algorithms for topologycontrol of such networks. In particular, the issue ofscatternet formation has been addressed by a number ofpapers in the technical literature. In [1], we haveproposed one such algorithm called the Bluenetalgorithm. In this paper, we further investigate therealization and properties of the Bluenets algorithm. Theperformance of the resulting scatternets, such as, piconetdensity, usage of potential links, deviation of nodedegrees, average shortest path length, and maximumtraffic flows are also studied. From the analysis, it isshowed that the choice of 0 p , the initial probability foreach node to enter the page state, is very important.Since each performance index only reflects one side ofthe scatternet performance, we need to make trade offswhen selecting 0 p to build Bluenets.
