Bluetooth Access Point Mobility Representative Middleware

The wireless Internet has become ubiquitous and there has been tremendous quantity of Bluetooth data terminal need Internet access. For the coverage and capacity reason, a cellular architecture is usually used for Bluetooth access point in hot spot area. This architecture in Bluetooth access network induces high rate of handoff and service discontinuity. The paper proposes Bluetooth mobility representative middleware solution, which performs effective low-level handoff management to transparently avoid service interruptions during handoffs. The mobility representative has the immediate visibility of available local Bluetooth resource and user micro-mobility. It can simplify the high capacity Bluetooth access point system design.
