Dynamic Source Routeing in Bluetooth Personal Area Networks Dynamic Source Routeing in Bluetooth Personal Area Networks

Abstract

This paper presents on-going work on a simulator that is being designed for investigating Policy versus Cost trade-offs for a wide range of topologies of Bluetooth Personal Area Networks (PAN). This work reports on a mobility model of mobile units that randomly move around a grid. These units have a particular wireless range of reception. The user may specify the number and the initial position of the mobile units, the source and sink nodes for messages and the time and distance moved for each time step. The Dynamic Source Routeing protocol is used to calculate an appropriate multi-hop route through the PAN.
