Abstract

The Bluetooth technology was developed with the ultimate goal of replacing the conventional networking cable between devices. Since its inception in 1998, it has rapidly developed and adopted by influential technology innovators and prominent corporations. Most notable deployment of Bluetooth technology can be found in printers, digital cameras, cell phones, and computers of various types. The purpose of this work is to perform an empirical study of the performance of Bluetooth enabled networks. The performance of Bluetooth enabled networks. The performance study is categorized into two main wireless network configurations: a) pure Bluetooth networking environment, and b) wireless network environment in which Bluetooth co-exist with 802.11. Analyses and discussions on the results which are obtained from this study are provided and future directions for the extension of this research are sketched out.
