Paging

Will you connect to me?

Very similar to inquiry.

Still have not synchronized clocks or frequencies.

Establishes actual Piconet connection with a device that it knows about.

Connection process involves a 6 steps of communication between the the master and the slave.

Master Paging Slave

Paging:

• Assumes that the master has the Device ID and Clock.

A pages C with the deviceID of C.

C answers A with his deviceID.

A send C his deviceID and Clock (FHS packet).

A becomes master of C.

Time

Master pages slave (packet has slave’s ID) at the paging frequency of the slave (1 of 32).

• Master send a train of 16 fqs in the slave hop set.

  • Slave ID sent twice in the slave frequency.

  • Master waits for two answers in the slave frequency.

• If it does not work, master will send.

Slave listens for 11 ms (page scan).

• If it identifies packets, slave wakes up and sends packets in that frequency.

• Master answers with FHS (Device ID e Clock).

• Slave joins piconet.
