Abstract
Disclosed is a method of performing a supervisor handover with ease prior to the supervisor handover by selecting a candidate supervisor on a Bluetooth High Rate (HR) subnet having one supervisor and a plurality of members. The method comprises the steps of selecting the candidate supervisor eligible for the new supervisor among the members on the HR subnet prior to the supervisor handover, and broadcasting an inquiry message to all the members on the HR subnet by the candidate supervisor when the supervisor handover is initiated. The method further comprises the step of electing the candidate supervisor as the new supervisor when all members on the HR subnet respond to the inquiry message.
