CONNECTING A BLUETOOTH DEVICE TO A BLUETOOTH CLUSTER

Abstract

A system comprises a first node, a second node, and a backplane connection that communicates between the first and second nodes. The first node includes at least one first Bluetooth controller and stores a first affinity table containing first information for a plurality of Bluetooth devices, including a preferred node for each Bluetooth device from the plurality. The second node includes at least one second Bluetooth controller and stores a second affinity table containing second information for the plurality of Bluetooth devices, including the preferred node for each Bluetooth device.The respective nodes of the first and second nodes are configured, in response to the detection of a previously paired Bluetooth device from the multitude of Bluetooth devices, to check the respective affinity table in order to determine the preferred node for the previously paired Bluetooth device; and to connect the previously paired Bluetooth device to the preferred node.
