Chapter 5 Conclusions and Future Directions This chapter presents a summary of the research performed for this thesis. A review of the results presented in Chapter 4 is also presented. Topics for future areas of research are suggested in this chapter. 5.1 Summary of Research In 2001, there were 13 million devices shipped with integrated Bluetooth and this is predicted by Gartner Dataquest to reach 36m units this year and 186m in 2003. There are approximately 500 qualified Bluetooth products ranging from the Compaq 3870 iPaq and Sony Handycam camcorder -- both with embedded Bluetooth -- to accessories for the Gameboy and other consumer electronic devices. The dominant interferer for Bluetooth will be Bluetooth on Bluetooth. From the Bluetooth piconet simulations performed with DH1 packet interferers, it is observed that the probability of colliding with 1 adjacent piconet is .70%. The effect of cochannel interference from DH1 packets initially appears to be minimal, however the data throughput performance degrades as adjacent piconets become active. Nine active piconets significantly impact the data rate to an unacceptable level. Under the conditions of 9 interfering piconets with a collision probability of a 7.2%, the data rate decreases by 10.8% from 1.7kb/s to 1.61kb/s as seen in Figure 4.6. Twenty adjacent piconets returns a 14% probability of frequency collision. This results in an 11.3% decrease in performance, yielding a 1.5kb/s transfer rate as seen in Table 5.1. 57 Interfering DH5 multi slot packets results in even more interference and increased degradation. One interfering DH5 piconet has a 1.1 % probability of colliding with a DH1 packet as seen in Figure 4.8. Under the conditions of 9 interfering piconets with a collision probability of a 10%, the data rate decreases by 11.3% from 1.7kb/s to 1.55kb/s as
