Scatternet

Connection of several piconets.

Through a common device (bridge) (M/S).

One device can be M/S at the same time.

• Or at least Slave in two piconets.

• Bridge node “stay” in a piconet for some time, then switch to another piconet by changing hop sequence.

Global system BW unlimited, but piconet BW always <1Mbps.

Impact on piconets is minimal for < 10 piconets.

Potentially any device can share piconets.

• Reality: limitations on commercial stacks.
