Designing a Roaming Protocol for Bluetooth Networks

Bluetooth is an established standard for low cost, low power, wireless personal area network. Currently, Bluetooth does not support any roaming protocol in which handoff occurs dynamically when a Bluetooth device is moving out of the piconet. If a device is loosing its connection to the master devic...

Currently, Bluetooth does not support any roaming protocol in which handoff occurs dynamically when a Bluetooth device is moving out of the piconet. If a device is loosing its connection to the master device, no provision is made to transfer it to another master. Handoff is not possible in a piconet, as in order to stay within the network, a slave would have to keep the same master. So, by definition intra-handoff is not possible within a piconet.

Roaming in Bluetooth network can be carried out in two steps, the first step is seamless handover between similar base stations and the second step is to implement handover functionality in between different base stations.
