Abstract Details

2002, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Computer Science.
Bluetooth is a radio technology for Wireless Personal Area Networking configured in a master slave fashion to support up to 1 Mbps of data rate. The need for seamless communication of data and voice over short-range, point-to-multipoint wireless links between mobile and stationary devices is evident from new applications. It becomes increasingly important to consume this limited bandwidth efficiently. Current bluetooth technology has to allocate twice the resources if any slave-to-slave communication is to be supported. Moreover, it does not provide any mechanism to satisfy demands exceeding this capacity. In this work, we propose dynamic configuration of the piconet on-the-fly so that the channel utilization could be maximized and the performance of QoS-sensitive applications could be optimized with minimum possible interference. We introduce two novel techniques of Dynamic Bluetooth Configuration (DBC) and Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB) to alleviate bottlenecks in existing schemes in a proactive manner. In this two-layered approach, we first achieve the maximum possible throughput in existing network using DBC technique, and then dynamically partition piconets using the DLB to satisfy increased demands. It is observed that combining both DLB and DBC drastically enhances the aggregate network throughput while minimizing the interference. Our extensive simulations show that network traffic and delay is reduced to 50% while throughput is increased up to 200%.
