1. A method of implementing a scatternet over a plurality of piconets using different frequencies in a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN), comprising the steps of:

  • (a) a master of a first piconet transmitting a scatternet request to a shared slave, and the shared slave switching a frequency thereof to a frequency of a second piconet and relaying the scatternet request to a master of the second piconet;

    (b) the master of the second piconet transmitting scatternet approval to the shared slave;

    (c) the shared slave switching the frequency to a frequency of the first piconet, relaying the scatternet approval to the master of the first piconet, and being allocated resources, which do not overlap each other, by the masters of the first piconet and the second piconet; and

    (d) the shared slave switching frequencies and relaying data between the first piconet and the second piconet while synchronizing with both the first piconet and the second piconet using allocated resources.
