Abstract
In environments with high wireless interference, such as office spaces with multiple laptops and overlapping Wi-Fi signals, Bluetooth communication often suffers from frequency collisions and degraded performance. The standard Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) mechanism employed by individual Bluetooth devices is decentralized, requiring each device to perform its own interference scanning and channel adaptation. This results in duplicated overhead and limited visibility of global channel usage, leading to inefficient spectrum utilization and inter-device Bluetooth channel collisions. This invention provides a centralized system and method for managing Bluetooth channel allocation across multiple devices. The most suitable central host PC collects environmental interference data and dynamically assigns collision-minimized, optimized Bluetooth channels to each client device. This eliminates the need for local AFH processing, reduces scanning overhead, and enables coordinated, interference-aware communication scheduling across devices. The proposed method ensures more stable and fair Bluetooth performance in dense, interference-prone environments.
