The latest Bluetooth Specification introduces the concept of scatternet formation, but it does not define in detail how to form an efficient scatternet. However, even if one could form optimal scatternets in a dynamic scenario some time after the network formation the scatternet topology would become suboptimal. In such scenarios, mobility, the changing traffic pattern among the nodes, interference and alike, render any topology inefficient in time. Therefore, the topology should be optimized repeatedly. A novel technique has been developed for reconfiguring the topology of Bluetooth scatternets based on the current traffic flows in the network, such that the new topology allows a higher overall throughput and a more efficient power consumption in the scatternet.
