Performance analysis of single-slave Bluetooth piconets under cochannel interference

We present an analytical model for single-slave Bluetooth piconets when the coexistence of multiple interfering devices produces collisions. Closed-form expressions for the channel throughput and the mean packet delay are obtained, including the time spent waiting on the node's queue. The effect of propagation losses and asynchronous piconets are also discussed. The results of the analysis are validated through simulation.
