ONCLUSION
In this work the performance of asynchronous data packets defined by Bluetooth
specification was studied. Each packet use different error control schemes for error correction
and detection. We analyze the performance of the standard Bluetooth packets, custom coding
and adaptive error control schemes.
An analytical model was presented to evaluate the throughput and energy efficiency of
Bluetooth data packets in Nakagami-
m
fading channels. The results have shown that for good
channel conditions the packets with little or no error protection present the best performance.
For bad channel conditions,
packets with some stronger error correction scheme have the best
performance. In the case of a network designer who has information about the channel
conditions, these considerations may help in what scheme to use for each situation.
