Paper deals with simple and efficient protocols for forming and maintaining a Bluetooth network. The protocols are designed for mobile situations with frequent topology changes and for routing of translated messages between Bluetooth network members. To provide a simple, distributed solution to form an ad hoc network the protocols are based on a set of rules. The resulting topology is a mesh network with defined properties. For the network routing a modified DSDV protocol is employed. The proposed protocol enables self re-configuration of the network after communication failure and were tested in numerous simulated situations.
