The present invention relates to inter-piconet communication amongst wireless communications devices, and in particular though not exclusively to the IEEE802.15.3 wireless piconet protocol. The present invention provides a wireless communications system comprising: a plurality of piconets each supporting wireless communications amongst a number of wireless devices on a respective piconet channel (ch1,ch2), each piconet having an associated piconet coordinator device (PNC) which coordinates use of the respective piconet channel; wherein communications between a sending device (S) in a sending piconet and a destination device (D) in a destination piconet are routed through their respective piconet coordinator devices (PNC1,PNC2), the respective piconet coordinator devices communicating with each other using a said piconet channel (ch1 or ch2). |
