Development of a Bluetooth CORBA Based Intelligent Infrastructure for Multi-user Urban Environments

A basic framework for wireless based mobile distributed environments is given by the wireless CORBA specification. It provides a generic solution hiding the underlying network level details from applications. However, in Blue tooth networks, it exhibits some problems when dealing with multi-user environments, like power consumption limitations of mobile devices or Blue tooth role assignment. This paper proposes the creation of two new CORBA services and some changes in the LTP transport layer to facilitate the management of Bluetooth multi-user environments. The results section shows its feasibility in urban applications for both pedestrians and vehicles.
