Abstract: Service discovery lies at the heart of practical utility of Bluetooth scatternets. Even though Bluetooth incorporates a simple, lightweight SDP, it fails to provide efficient service discovery in complex usage scenarios such as service discovery on scatternets. In this paper, we propose augmentation to Bluetooth SDP to make it suitable for scatternets. We also present a detailed numerical and simulation analysis of the augmented SDP. The results validate the efficiency and practical utility of the enhanced SDP
