Description
Summary:International audience This paper introduces Beddernet, a platform-agnostic mobile ad-hoc network framework. The Beddernet architecture is designed to work with different networking protocols - the version detailed here supports Bluetooth ad-hoc networks or scatternets.Although considerable work has gone into researching and designing scatternets, no standard has been agreed upon and no scatternet protocol can be found in Bluetooth specifications. Beddernet fills this gap and can become a useful tool both for research and real-world applications. The standard is open and free to use, and is detailed in a separate Beddernet Specification Document.Beddernet middleware has been tested on Java and Android devices with good results. The reference design of Beddernet is based on the Android Operating System and is available under an open source license.
