This paper addresses the problem of scatternet formation for single-hop Bluetooth based personal area and ad hoc networks, with minimal communication overhead. In a single-hop ad hoc network, all wireless devices are in the radio vicinity of each other, e.g., electronic devices in a laboratory, or laptops in a conference room. Recent scatternet formation schemes by Li, Stojmenovic and Wang are position based and were applied for multi-hop networks. These schemes are localized and can construct degree limited and connected piconets, without parking any node.
