CF Card with scatternet

Posted: 09-17-2003, 06:47 PM
Hi all,

I'm working at the moment in a project with bluetooth for Windows CE.
The possibility of using scatternet would be of great help to us. Does
anyone know a bluetooth CF Card that supports scatternet? I've been
looking everywhere and the only thing I found was one from Ambicom
where they say that they will support it soon.

Thanks,
Humberto

AFAIK Scatternet will be part of the bluetooth 1.2 Specification.
So far I don't think any consumer products support this.
The only references I have seen seem to be academic papers.

I don't know it current devices will be upgradeable to 1.2, I think it
should only require a software or possibly a firmware change.

MS are planning.lot more support for 1.2 spec audio devices. They also have
plans for UPNP capable, IPv6, PAN profile devices which will probably also
make use of scatternets.

Bluetooth development Still has a ways to go

Hi Edward,

thank you very much for your answer. What I'm trying to do, as a work
around, is to have two bluetooth modules running at the same time in
my PDA, in order to simulate somehow the "scatternet". And in the
future make a migration when the devices which support scatternet
arrive in the market.

Unfortunately the guys from Widcomm told me that this is impossible.
Because their software can communicate only with one single BT Module
at a time. This is very frustrating. Does anyone know why that? Can I
have only one Bleutooth Stack per PDA? I thought, the Stacks were
something similiar to drivers for the BT Modules.

Anyway thanks again.

Humberto.

I was having a further look around on this scatternet stuff. I think
it will be very important. Imagine making 50 micro robots that can
explore an environment while setting up an ad-hoc network that adapts
as the robots move around. The robots could describe their environment
to each other, locate each other in relation to themselves, and
possible work collaboratively on some larger task. (I'm thinking of
thing like the searching spiders in Minority Report)
Scatternet helps with the limit of only 7 nodes in a piconet and
increases the range of operation by routing data over intermediate
nodes.


Interesting paper here about the algorithms needed to create an
adaptive scatternet and route data to the appropriate nodes.

specification.
