Question

True or False?

Scatternets are used to scale Bluetooth networks beyond the 8-node piconets.

Answer 1

TRUE

Piconet is an ad-hoc network that links a wireless user group of devices using bluetooth technology protocols.It consists of two or more devices occupying the same physical channel. In a piconet, one master device can interconnect with up to seven active slave devices. Up to 255 further slave devices can be inactive(called as parked state), which the master device can bring into active status at any time, when the active device goes to parked status.

A scatternet is a type of ad-hoc computer network consisting of two or more piconets. Scatternet is a number of interconnected piconets that supports communication between more than 8 devices. Scatternets can be formed when a member of one piconet elects to participate as a slave in a second, separate piconet.
