Abstract

Analytical expressions for the throughput (in kbit/s) as a function of channel symbol signal-to-noise ratio (E_s/N₀) are derived for the six Bluetooth ACL packets that use automatic repeat request (ARQ). The analysis is exact under the assumptions that the outer CRC code provides perfect error detection and that the channel remains stationary for the duration of each packet. Using an expression for noncoherent correlated (h<0.5) full response FSK signals, numerical results are provided for AWGN and quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels. These curves are an appropriate benchmark against which practical demodulators and custom error control techniques may be compared.
