Bluetooth is a suitable technology to support soft real-time applications like multimedia streams at the personal area network level. In this paper, we analytically evaluate the worst-case deadline failure probability of Bluetooth packets under co-channel interference as a way to provide statistical guarantees when transmitting soft real-time traffic using ACL links. We consider the interference from independent Bluetooth devices, as well as from other devices operating in the ISM band like 802.11b/g and Zigbee. Finally, we show as an example how to use our model to obtain some results for the transmission of a voice stream. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
