Performance of Bluetooth Ad-hoc Network with SAW-ARQ Scheme

Addressed in this paper is a simulation performance of ARQ scheme for Bluetooth ad-hoc network for high data rate services and real time web applications in multi-path Rayleigh fading channel. To overcoming the channel errors in the Bluetooth asynchronous connectionless link (ACL), we propose Stop & Wait ARQ scheme that limited the retransmission within the threshold time. Simulation results show that the proposed ARQ strategy significantly improves the throughput and packet error rate (PER) performance compare to conventional retransmission scheme that do not take the channel conditions into account.
