Bluetooth master/slave bridge scheduling with and without rendezvous points

The impact of bridge scheduling on the performance of two Bluetooth piconets with a MS-type bridge is analyzed. We consider bridge scheduling both with and without the precomputed schedule of rendezvous points, and derive the probability distribution for the bridge-master exchange time, as well as for the access delay and end-to-end delay for both intra and interpiconet traffic. We also discuss the stability limits under both bridge scheduling policies.
