Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) have been widely used due to the development of new wireless technologies, mainly Bluetooth. As user mobility is the focus of WPANs some questions arise when developing applications for it, specifically handoff management. Despite Bluetooth having been used for WPAN applications it does not have facilities for handoff management. It provides inquiry and paging...
In this work, the problems and respective solutions for dealing with two of the most basic questions regarding handoff management are presented: to avoid total loss of connectivity; and to reduce overall time of the handoff procedure. The focus of this research is on handoff in WPANs for real-time applications. Therefore, Bluetooth stands out as the ideal technology for case study due to its particular...
Dynamic networks with users from heterogeneous networks, different operator, provider or technology domains are needed for scenarios such as emergency and disaster recovery, field work among others. One of the challenges is to design routing protocols that satisfy the consequent requirements. In this paper we present extensions for Bluetooth, AODV, TORA, and OSPF protocols, called Blue-AN, AODV-AN,...
