Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN), standardized as IEEE 802.15.6, enable digital devices on/around the human body to communicate with one another. WBAN is essentially a person's piconet consisting of a master (mobile) device and several slave devices, which follows his/her mobility pattern, and hence, occasionally collides with another piconet as people meet or pass by. As such, a mechanism to detect collision and avoid interference is needed for intra-piconet communications. In this paper, we focus on this notorious problem of piconet collision and propose Distributed Time Division Piconet Coexistence (DTDPC) using local time offset exchange as a simple, attractive solution. The proposed DTDPC provides different level of services for various applications. Besides our simulation results have shown that the proposed solution outperforms the conventional CSMA protocols.

Due to the changes in the wireless information environment, there has been an increased demand for various types of information. Accordingly, many wireless communication technologies have been studied and developed. In particular, studies on ubiquitous communications are well underway. Lately, the focus has been on the Bluetooth technology due to its applicability in various environments. Applying Bluetooth connectivity to new environments such as ubiquitous or sensor networks requires finding new wars of using it. Thus, this research analyzed the vulnerability on the limited number of slaves in a piconet configuration through the current Bluetooth communication and proposed an expanded Bluetooth piconet formation method, regardless of the number of slaves inside the piconet even if it is not configured in a scatternet. In the proposed method, we applied a security service and resolved the vulnerabilities of the current piconet by configuring an expanded form of the current tree-shaped structure.

Bluetooth technology is essentially a method for wireless connectivity of a diverse set of devices ranging from PDAs, mobile phone, notebook computers, to another equipments, The bluetooth system both point-to point connection and point-to multipoint connection. In point-to multipoint connection, the channel is shared among several bluetooth devices. Two or more devices sharing the same channel form a piconet. There one master device and up to seven active slave devices in a piconet. The radio operates in the unlicensed 2.45GHz ISM band. This allows users who travel world-wide to use bluetooth equipments anywhere. Since the link is based on frequency-hop spread spectrum, multiple channels can exist at the same time. The bluetooth standard ha s been suggested that bluetooth equipments can be used in the short-range, maximum 100 meters. It has been defined that the time takes to setup and establish a bluetooth connection among devices is 10 seconds. It is a long time and may be a cause to lose a chance of finding other non-fixed devices. We propose a routing protocols for scatternets which can be used to control a mobile units(MUs) in this network. The proposed routing protocol is composed of two kinds of bluetooth information, access point(AP) and MU.

Bluetooth, in radio network environment, is a small local radio communication that is available with low expense and little power use. It is specified for the wireless connect in a small area between Network Excess Point, portable devices such as mobile phones. PDAs and portable PCs, and other per peripheral equipment. Bluetooth is consisted of a master and a piconet having seven slaves in a maximum and finally has a scatternet gathering lot of piconet. The thesis tries to design the most effective structure of a scatternet by the number of nodes and the type of scatternet such as linear and ring for its mechanism. then the performance evaluation is realized through the Bluehoc simulator based on the NS. Finally the most appropriate radio network environment is made by the comparison and analysis of the characteristics of liner and ring scatternets.

This paper proposes a model of a voice communication using bluetooth and a mobile, and implements a hands-free for this model. A Proposed model uses bluetooth for a voice network, and is possible to share a voice with a great number of people using preemptive algorithm proposed in this paper. There are two types of models. One is a model only using a hands-free, the other is a model using a mobile. Second model uses a scatternet and a call forwarding service for a call on a voice communication. In case of using a scatternet, scatternet is composed of a piconet of a voice communication and a piconet of a call. In case of using a call forwarding service, the mobiles share information of each others before formation of a network.

A multi-hop ad-hoc network can be formed out of Bluetooth capable devices through the use of scatternets. Many topologies can be deployed for scatternet; the most commonly proposed topology in the literature are tree structure and ring structure. We analyze the performance between tree formation algorithm and ring formation algorithm. We then present quantative result that compare the expected traffic performance between Blutooth ring scatternet and Bluetooth tree scatternet. The simulation results showes that Ring structure of scatterent have good performance than Tree structure over mobile environments.

Ad Hoc network not only can be the constitution of multiple piconet, but also can be the extension to the scatternet. By changing the length of the packets, it will transmit packets according to the amount of the transmission. There are two forms of the bluetooth. The one is the DM which is slower in speed but higher in reliance than the DH. The other is the DH which is faster in speed but lower in reliance than the DM. This paper tries to compare and analyze the performances of mobile hosts according to the forms of the packets in bluetooth Ad Hoc network.
