A method of dividing a first piconet into two or more piconets is implemented by a master wireless device. The master wireless device selects a master for a second piconet from among the slave wireless devices within the first piconet. The selection can be based upon each operational link between a base site and candidates for master of the second piconet as well as each operational link between the candidates for master of the second piconet and candidates for active slaves of the second piconet. The master wireless device thereafter informs each slave of the first piconet of the selection of the master of the second piconet. The master wireless device can further assign one or more of the slaves of the first piconet to enlist as a slave in the second piconet, or alternatively, each slave of the first piconet can enlist as a slave in either the first piconet or the second piconet.
