| Abstract: | The need for performance studies avoiding expensive hardware installations and the lack of analytical models motivates the need of trustworthy simulation models for the cable-replacement technology Bluetooth. In this paper we show a detailed description of the Bluetooth technique and validation of different simulation models used today. To do this, a two-step approach for validation and credibility is necessary. First, a comprehensive empirical measurement was performed to establish a "status quo" of the behavior of today's Bluetooth technology. Second, a validation between empirical and simulation model is conducted to ensure the comparability. To accomplish these objectives we developed and validated a simulation model with frequency hopping algorithms and the whole state machine including collision detection. The results in form of histograms of different Bluetooth-specific durations indicate problems in case of already established simulation programs. So, finally, some changes and suggestions how to correct these defects are given. |
