Bluetooth is the most employed technology to develop
Wireless Personal Area Networks. This letter studies the
performance of Bluetooth transmissions that make use of the
PAN (Personal Area Network) profile. In particular, the study
offers an analytical model that defines the optimal bound for
the end-to-end data delay. The proposed ’delay budget’ takes
into account the overhead and segmentation provoked by the
protocols involved in the transmission of user data. The model is
empirically validated by comparing its results with those obtained
through the measurements of actual Bluetooh connections.Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TEC2006-12211-C02-0
