Algorithm for ad-hoc piconet topology initialization

This paper deals with piconet topology issues in IEEE802.15.3 high rate wireless personal area network standard. These issues preventing two devices to establish a connection come from the coexistence of two conflicting concepts: ad-hoc networking and centralized coordination. An algorithm for the initialization of the topology of the piconet is proposed. This algorithm leads to a probability higher than 95% of connection success in the whole power emission range defined by the standard.
