Multiple
overlapping piconets (sets of communicating
|
|
|
|
devices)
with own hopping sequence, max of one master
|
|
|
|
and 8
slaves
|
|
| n |
Collisions
do occur when two piconets use same frequency
|
|
|
|
at
the same time
|
|
|
|
– |
as
more piconets overlap, performance degrades
|
|
|
– |
degradation
gradual: 10 overlapping piconets reduce aggregate
|
|
|
bandwidth
by 10%
|
|
| n |
Single
device can participate in multiple piconets, though
|
|
|
|
only
one at a time
|
|
|
|
– |
need
to re-adjust clock to re-sync with master when entering a
|
|
|
piconet
|
|
|
– |
inform
master when device leaves piconet, will suppress data being
|
|
sent/device
being polled
