Abstract

Bluetooth is a digital data transmission standard in the 2.4-GHz ISM band that uses short-range wireless links between devices. As this band is free and it is used for other several wireless technologies such as IEEE 802.11b, Bluetooth uses a frequency hopping method to minimize interferences. The main goals of this paper are to provide a statistical characterization to describe the packet collision rate for multiple piconets in close proximity and to investigate the connection establishment procedure when different paging modes are used in order to measure and model the connection establishment time in operating conditions. These models are an important analysis tool to develop traffic analysis simulations
