Bluetooth™ System Overview
Bluetooth™ radios may operate as either master or slave units. The link manager
sets up the connection between master and slave units and also determines the
slave's power saving mode. A master can be actively communicating with up to
seven slaves, while another 200+ slaves can be registered and in a
non-communicating, power-saving mode.
This area of control is defined as a piconet. A master in one piconet may be a slave
to a master from a different piconet. Similarly, multiple masters from different
piconets may control a single slave. This network of piconets is referred to as a
scatternet. Figure 1-1
