Abstract. We present a novel solution to the scatternet formation problem in Bluetooth † networks by means of the mobile processing paradigm. In contrast to existing protocols that employ the message-passing communications model, ours employs mobile programs that assist in the dynamic formation of Bluetooth scatternets. We argue that this approach offers improved flexibility when compared to hard-coded protocols for wireless networks management. Simulation results support the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, which overcomes constraints experienced by existing protocols at comparable overhead costs. I.
