Performance evaluation of Bluetooth system in the presence of WLAN IEEE802.11 system

This paper uses the protocols of IEEE 802.15 (Bluetooth) and IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) to develop a Bluetooth radio system on an OPNET platform. Typically, this wireless model is an indoor model of the Bluetooth TM technology implemented in C programming language and assisted by a Matlab programming language. We evaluate the performance of voice in the presence of interference from a WLAN system. One major challenge for interference in an indoor area is the complexity of radio propagation. This article provides a fundamental understanding of issues related to indoor radio transmission that is needed for design and performance evaluation of emerging systems for different indoor configurations.
