Abstract

Operating in the unlicensed 2.4GHz ISM band, a Bluetooth piconet will inevitably encounter the interference problem from other piconets. With a special channel model and packet formats, one research issue is how to predict the packet collision effect in a multi-piconet environment. In an earlier work, this problem is studied, but the result is still very limited because it is assumed that packets must be single-slot ones and that time slots of each piconet must be fully occupied by packets. These assumptions have been successfully removed in the analytical results proposed in [3]. In this paper, we further improve the analytical results in [3] by taking into account the frequency-hopping guard time effect in Bluetooth baseband. The result would offer a way to better estimate the network performance in a multi-piconet environment.
