A Mathematical Model for Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate in Fading Channels
Andréa Zanella · 2007
In this report, we present an accurate mathematical model for performance analysis of Bluetooth v2.0 with Enhanced Data Rates in fading channels. The model captures the details of the activities performed over an asynchronous data link and permits an accurate estimation of the average throughput and energy efficiency achieved by the different frame formats in fading radio channels. Conversely to most part of the literature concerning Bluetooth performance, the model takes into consideration the microscopic level power—saving features defined by the Bluetooth standard for reducing the energy consumption during packet handling operations. The model permits to investigate the potential performance tradeoff between different frame formats and to determine which format yields higher performance in each channel condition.
