Abstract

We present a Bluetooth LAN access point (LAP) simulator that we have developed to study pervasive application behavior under Bluetooth local connectivity. Our goal is to explore the impact on IP applications caused by the underlying Bluetooth protocol. Our simulator implements detailed processing of upper layers of the Bluetooth LAP stack, including PPP, RFCOMM, and L2CAP. For lower layers, it tries to capture major characteristics by performing macro-simulation. We present simulation results of a simple network configuration in Bluelooth LAP environments. Our simulator is based on the popular Network Simulator (ns) and its components
