A method and apparatus for an electronic device (101) operating in a piconet (100) to assign itself a unique identifier (112) is provided. Once the device (101) assigns itself the unique identifier (112), which may be temporary in nature, the device (101) may use the temporary identifier (112) to identify itself to other devices (102-105) operating within the piconet (100), which may be a Bluetooth local area network. In accordance with one embodiment of the method, a device (101) may first scan the piconet (100) to determine device identifiers (113-116) corresponding to devices (102-105) that are operating within the piconet (100). After scanning the device (101) stores the device identifiers (113-116) in a list and queries the list to determine which identifiers are included in the list. The device (101) then selects the temporary, unique identifier (112) that is not found in the list. The unique identifier (112) may then be used to identify the device (101) to the piconet. |
