Abstract
A method, and associated apparatus, facilitates handover of communications with a mobile Bluetooth device operable to communicate packet data with other Bluetooth devices. Handover of communications is effectuated between fixed-infrastructure access points or other mobile Bluetooth devices formed in a scatternet. The device to which communications are to be handed-over becomes a slave to the Bluetooth device with which communications are ongoing, thereby to permit time synchronization thereto.
