Piconet

In the Bluetooth system, a piconet is created when two or more devices create a Master / Slave connection in an ad hoc fashion, an example being a cellular phone and a computer. Each piconet can have only one Master, one to seven active Slaves, and 0-255 Parked Slaves. All devices in the piconet use the same physical channel, this is defined by the master device.
