Abstract
An embodiment of a method for link management in a scatternet, performed by a wireless communication device, is provided. The wireless communication device simultaneously establishes a synchronization link in a first piconet, and an asynchronization link in a second piconet. The embodiment of the method contains the following steps. At least one time interval originally utilized for packet transmissions in the synchronization link is sacrificed. During the sacrificed time interval, the asynchronization link is switched to for a time period to maintain connection between the wireless communication device and a peer device operating with the asynchronization link.
