Abstract

We provide a closed-form expression for the packet loss probability in Bluetooth networks accounting for capture effects due to propagation losses. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is assessed comparing the analytical results with those obtained from Monte Carlo simulations. By considering different scenarios, we show the dependence of results on the geometry and on the characteristics of the environment. It is observed that packet loss probability can significantly change with the position of the reference receiver in the area, as well as with the extension of the served area as compared with the coverage area of the receiver
