3. doc.: IEEE 802.15-03-0107-00-003b Submission March, 2004 Po-Ning Chen et al, NCTUSlide 3 Abstract We propose a universal approach that can simultaneously achieve both inter- and intra- piconet relaying. Our scheme can inter-relay packets across piconets without knowing the locations of the devices. Our scheme is backwardly compatible to IEEE 802.15.3 draft standard.
