Polling Best Effort Traffic in Bluetooth
Rachid Ait Yaiz, Geert Heijenk · Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications · 2001
Bluetooth [1] is a wireless access technology where polling is used to share bandwidth among the nodes. We have introduced a new poller named Predictive Fair Poller (PFP) in [2, 3]. In this paper we explain the operation of the Predictive Fair Poller and compare it with the conventional Round Robin poller and the Fair Exhaustive Poller (FEP) [4] for two Best Effort traffic scenarios. We show through simulations that the Predictive Fair Poller is able to divide bandwidth in a fair and efficient manner.
