1. A method comprising:
providing a Bluetooth system comprising a plurality of Bluetooth devices forming Bluetooth piconets disconnected from each other; providing a route for a data packet between two remote Bluetooth devices through the Bluetooth system by sequentially changing structures of the Bluetooth piconets, wherein at least some of the plurality of Bluetooth devices sequentially create and terminate connections with different Bluetooth devices by operating as a slave device of one Bluetooth piconet, receiving a master token from a master device of the one Bluetooth piconet, terminating a connection to the one Bluetooth piconet and, after the termination of the connection, creating a connection in another Bluetooth piconet in which the Bluetooth device operates as a master device of the other Bluetooth piconet as allowed by possession of the master token, wherein the other Bluetooth piconet may include more than one slave device.
