Abstract

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.
