Abstract
Various wireless technologies use unlicensed ISM band in a frequency range 2.4GHz. Due to collocated, services causes mutual interference to one other; it degrades performance regarding Bit Error Rate (BER) and consequently throughput. The Bluetooth occupies less bandwidth and low power, gets more hampered as compare to other high bandwidth services is referred to as the heterogeneous environment. In this paper, an attempt is made to calculate the performance of basic rate Bluetooth in the presence of other Bluetooth devices in the close vicinity. The MATLAB based simulation results showed the degradation of performance of Bluetooth and enriched by selecting different hopping frequency in synchronisation with interfering Bluetooth devices.
Highlights
Bluetooth is a standard wireless technology available in various devices, due to low cost, low power short range wireless communication [1, 2]
Various work reported for Bluetooth performance regarding Bit Error Rate (BER), PER and throughput in the presence of other radio access technologies such as ZigBee and WLAN
In this work main focus is to the performance of Bluetooth regarding BER and throughput inhomogeneous network
Summary
Bluetooth is a standard wireless technology available in various devices, due to low cost, low power short range wireless communication [1, 2]. Bluetooth operates in license-free Industrial Scientific and Medical 2.4GHz band, where many radio technologies present such as WLAN, ZigBee, cordless phones [3, 4]. Bluetooth radio hops faster than other devices [5, 6]. Various work reported for Bluetooth performance regarding BER, PER and throughput in the presence of other radio access technologies such as ZigBee and WLAN. The performance of Bluetooth degrades rapidly by WLAN, which is a function of distance. In this work main focus is to the performance of Bluetooth regarding BER and throughput inhomogeneous network. From the result obtained it is clear that the BER and throughput of Bluetooth reduction with an increase in interfering Bluetooth. There is a tradeoff between the distance of interfering Bluetooth with BER and throughput.
