Abstract


In this paper, we present a routing protocol for a wireless Bluetooth home network. We can use the protocol to connect electric appliances such as video, computer, refrigerator, etc. This will let us control the devices easily and it will be more convenient for human beings.
Our protocol improves the architecture proposed in [5]. We increase the protocol efficiency by reducing the header length from 16 bits to 14 bits and decreasing the number of hops in a longest routing path from 6 to 4. General broadcasting function is also added. With a few assumptions, mathematical analyses are done to demonstrate its performances.
