Abstract: There are different methods and criteria to evaluate the performance of a protocol for Bluetooth Ad hoc network formation. In this paper, topology structure of Bluetooth Ad hoc network was presented firstly. Then, main approaches in system performance evaluation and key performance criteria of the network formation algorithms were discussed, and the performance of dominating its formation protocols was summarized. Furthermore, simulation of Tree Scatternet Formation (TSF) protocol was done and the corresponding simulation results were given. At last, some issues in existing protocols were pointed out, while the key aspects of Bluetooth Ad hoc network formation algorithms which people cared most and some possible research directions were presented.
