Abstract EN
Formation technology of Bluetooth scatternet has been researched for over a decade and promoted by rapid development of wearable computing.
Limited by technical features, the traditional scatternet formation technology has not been widely used in real commercial chipsets.
As new features are introduced into the Bluetooth core field, the ability to use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to construct a network becomes the reality and puts forward new challenges.
The scatternet formation technology facing to BLE and wearable devices requires significant improvement in energy efficiency.
According to our experiments, 92% of the system energy consumption can be attributed to central nodes.
In this paper, we presented a Bluetooth scatternet formation technology focused on energy efficiency, GreenLink, which minimizes the amount of central nodes by enhancing system aggregation degree to ensure excellent energy-saving performance.
Meanwhile, we implemented a prototype of GreenLink on Nordic nRF51822 chipsets, conducted experiments, and verified in practice.
According to the experiments, GreenLink used only 30% central nodes and reduced 50% system energy consumption compared with traditional technology.
