Abstract
In recent years Bluetooth has been a growing technology for ad-hoc wireless communication between embedded devices, in a range of 10 m. Such a network is called a piconet, in which a master employs round-robin mechanism to poll and serve the slaves. Many new products have become Bluetooth enabled recently, which may cause a complex mix of traffic. Two types of connection are being offered in this network: the Synchronous Connection-Oriented (SCO), and the Asynchronous Connection-Less (ACL). ACL is proper for best-effort service as in IP networks, which has gained more importance as now a day’s most of the applications have moved to IP, and may carry bursty traffic. In this paper, to analyze the Bluetooth ACL, a general model for complex mix of traffic, which is the superposition of many ON–OFF mini-sources, is considered. Moreover, due to unreliable nature of wireless media, a Channel Failure Rate (CFR) has been assumed. This system has been investigated analytically and its performance has been evaluated. The effects of channel failure and packet size on the mean delay and waiting time have been studied by simulations as well.
