Abstract: Recent years saw a significant number of efforts aimed at the efficient creation of Scatternets: multi-hop Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN) created by means of Bluetooth technology that allows users to seamlessly exchange information. We present a novel solution to the Scatternet formation problem by means of mobile programs that help realise our goal according to a predefined topology formation policy. We argue that this approach offers improved flexibility when compared with existing protocols that employ the message-passing communications model. The effectiveness of our proposed mobile processing scheme is demonstrated through computer simulations.
