Characterization of Bluetooth Packet Delay in Noisy Environments

This letter presents an analytical model to compute the delay of Bluetooth transmissions with Serial Port Profile (SPP) when interferences cause packet retransmissions. In particular, the model takes into consideration the overhead and segmentation introduced by the protocol stack as well as the extra delay provoked by the retransmissions. The model is empirically validated through the measurements of actual Bluetooth connections.Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TEC2006-12211-C02-0
