Bluetooth Interference Environment, The Underlying Protocol Performance Simulation And Experiments

BluetoothTM is a worldwide open standard of wireless communication, which is expected to establish common,short-range,low-power and low-cost wireless connection between myriad portable devices and ensure their interoperability. Bluetooth operates at license-freed ISM band and is generally regarded as the dominant technology to construct Personal Wireless Area Network(PWAN).Based on Bluetooth Specification Version 1.1, this thesis presents detailed introduction and analysis on low-layer protocols of Bluetooth protocol stack. Systemview is adopted to simulate Bluetooth system. More efforts are focused on analysis and computer simulation of the cochannel interference and IEEE802.11b interference's impact on Bluetooth performance respectively in AWGN and Rician fading channel. Furthermore, the scheme of designing Bluetooth point-to-point experimental system with the ROK101 007 module and free Bluetooth protocol stack CStack is discussed. Results in this thesis provide valuable references for the deployment of Bluetooth networks.
