INTERVENTION of Bluetooth with WLAN and WIMAX
Bluetooth technology unplugs the digital peripherals and comes as cable replacement technology. IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth are two operating in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz frequency. WiMAX is operating both licensed and unlicensed frequencies (2-11GHz). The devices equipped with IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth are mobiles, laptops, watches and many more and in future with WiMAX. Result is the number of co-located devices may cause interference issues in the 2.4 GHz radio frequency spectrum. Bluetooth supports both voice (SCO) and data (ACL) packets. In ACL, there is retransmission of packet if it is lost while transmitting but in SCO there is no retransmission of packet. So, retransmission is big issue in Bluetooth. In this thesis, these interference issues are investigated and implement a new Bluetooth voice packet named synchronous connection-oriented with Repeated Transmission (SCORT) with WLAN interference and WiMAX interference to study the improvement in performance by using MATLAB Simulink. SCORT technique also helps in reducing co-existing interference by using HV3 type of packet in voice signal. By this technique BER does not effect at all and very minimal delay comes due to retransmission.
