Polling in Bluetooth: a simplified best effort case

Abstract

Bluetooth [1] is a wireless access mechanism where polling is used to share bandwidth among the participants. We introduce a new poller named Predictive Fair Poller [2] (PFP). We compare this poller with the conventional Round Robin poller and the Fair Exhaustive Poller [4] and show through simulations that the Predictive Fair Poller is able to divide bandwidth in a fair and efficient manner
