Abstract
A method for adaptive piconet protocol begins by determining, by a master device, a number of slave devices that are currently affiliated with the master device in a piconet. The method continues by determining, by the master device, data requirements and voice requirements of each of the slave devices currently affiliated with the master device in the piconet. The method continues by establishing, by the master device, an information exchange format based on the number of slave devices, the data requirements of each of the slave devices, and the voice requirements of each of the slave devices. The information exchange format includes at least one multiple frequency locked partial packets for slave data responses to a single master data request packet, multiple frequency locked packets for slave voice responses to a single master voice request packet, and non-restrictive slot positioning of the single master data request and of the signal master voice request.
