Abstract

Bluetooth is a wireless ad-hoc network concept using auniversal short-range radio link for communicatingelectronic devices in a small area. The Bluetooth radionodes form piconets and provide slotted Time DivisionDuplex (TDD) scheme in which each slot is 0.625 mslong. This work studies traffic performance in a piconetfocusing on "Mean Packet Delay" and "Probability ofPacket Loss" of data traffic. A mix of data and voicetraffic is used in the simulation where data traffic streamsare modeled by Interrupted Bernoulli Process. ThePriority, Round Robin, and "Alternating Priority"scheduling schemes are studied and compared.Alternating Priority scheme turns out to be a fair andefficient scheme and it has almost as good overallperformance as in Priority scheme.
