In this paper, we propose an algorithm, named efficient utilization polling (EUP), to support asynchronous data traffic at MAC layer by using the characteristics of Bluetooth technology. The algorithm uses a single bit in the payload header to carry the knowledge of queues in slaves for dynamically adapting the polling intervals for achieving the goals of high channel utilization and power conserving. In addition, we propose a differentiation mechanism, named shift-polling window (SPW). Based on EUP, the SPW differentiates the throughput from various classes, and still keeps the link utilization high and almost the same as that of the best-effort services. Extensive simulations are experimented on the behavior of the EUP and SPW by tuning the related parameters, such as polling interval, buffer size, queue threshold level, etc., in order to verify the expectation of these methods.
