Improving the performance of Bluetooth piconets with synchronous and asynchronous traffic
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Bluetooth specification allows both asynchronous (ACL) and synchronous (SCO) links to be present in a piconet. However, the performance ofACL traffic rapidly deteriorates when an SCO link is present. This paper investigates the possibility of replacing the Bluetooth SCO connection with a QoS-constrained asynchronous link that uses multi-slot ACL packets. We have analyzed the performance of this scheme, dubbed pseudo-SCO, under limited service and exhaustive service scheduling. It was found that the pseudo-SCO scheme allows asynchronous traffic to experience lower delays than with the regular SCO connection, while supporting the bandwidth requirements of SCO traffic.

Asynchronous Formation of Non-hierarchical Bluetooth Scatternets
A Bluetooth ad-hoc network consists of Bluetooth devices interconnected into piconets and piconets interconnected into scatternets. The specification has not yet addressed the issue of algorithms for scatternet formation. Some algorithms have been proposed, but they are either synchronous, they work only with strongly connected topologies, or they are master-slave based and hierarchical of natu...
متن کاملA Traffic-Aware Scheduling for Bluetooth Scatternets1
Bluetooth scatternet is a set of piconets interconnected via bridge devices. A good inter-piconet scheduling is necessary for the bridge devices to switch among the piconets they participated. This paper proposes an inter-piconet scheduling algorithm, Traffic-Aware Scatternet Scheduling (TASS), for bridges in bluetooth scatternets. According to the traffic information of all masters that the br...
متن کاملPerformance of Bluetooth piconets with finite size buffers: a queueing theoretic analysis
We analyze the performance of E-limited scheduling in Bluetooth piconets under bursty traffic finite buffer case. We model joint probability distributions of uplink and downlink queues using the M [x]/G/1/K model with vacations and derive buffer blocking probabilities at slaves and at the master. We also derive access delays at slave uplink buffers. Analytical results are validated through simu...
متن کاملEnd-to-end Adaptive Multimedia over Bluetooth Scatternets
Bluetooth Scatternet enabled technology today exists only in the standards not the actual chips. Even though the standard defines the primitives to support scatterneting, the architectural options are left open to research. In this paper we use a number of proposed solutions and implemented models to explore application and transport behavior in Bluetooth scatternets. We specifically look at mu...
متن کاملPerformance of TCP traffic in Bluetooth piconets: a queueing theoretic analysis
Recent updates of the Bluetooth specification have introduced significant changes in the Bluetooth protocol stack, including optional flow control. When the Bluetooth piconet is used to carry TCP traffic, complex interactions between TCP congestion control mechanisms and data link layer controls of Bluetooth will occur. In this paper, we model the performance of the piconet with TCP traffic, ex...
