Abstract:
A multi-member Bluetooth device for communicating data with a source Bluetooth device acting as a master in a first piconet. The multi-member Bluetooth device includes a main Bluetooth circuit acting as a slave in the first piconet and as a master in a second piconet, and an auxiliary Bluetooth circuit acting as a slave in the second piconet. The main Bluetooth circuit generates a first slave clock and a second main clock according to a first main clock generated by the source Bluetooth device, with which both the first slave clock and the second main clock are synchronized. The auxiliary Bluetooth circuit generates a second slave clock and a third slave clock according to the second main clock, with which both the second slave clock and the third slave clock are synchronized. The auxiliary Bluetooth circuit sniffs Bluetooth packets transmitted through the first piconet from the source Bluetooth device.
