Introduction [1] Xu and Saadawi, “Does the IEEE MAC protocol work well in multihop wireless ad hoc networks?” The existence of sensing range is typically larger than the usually considered transmission range IEEE cannot solve the hidden terminal and exposed terminal problems in multihop wireless networks These problems may eventually lead to serious TCP instability and unfairness

Introduction [2] Specification of the Bluetooth System [Online] Different piconets employ frequency hopping code- division multiple-access (FH-CDMA) channels to prevent mutual interferences Bluetooth specification defines a scatternet structure( within a scatternet, two Bluetooth device with their distance larger than their transmission range, but less than their sensing range use different time slot or stay in different piconet without interfering each other ) Hidden terminal 、 Exposed terminal can be eliminated

Introduction [8] B. Raman et al., “Arguments for cross-layer optimizations in Bluetooth scatternets” [9] P. Johansson et al., “Bluetooth:An enabler for personal area networking” The unnecessary link maintenance wastes plenty of power Suggest the integration of scatternet link formation with on-demand routing
