Bluetooth: carrying voice over ACL links

Abstract: The Bluetmth technology will enable m e n to c0Mect a wide range of electronic devices such as laplops, headsets, cellular phones etc. Bluetooth devices can connect to form a piconel, which consists of a master and upto 7 slaves. m e master controls the medium access in the piconet using a polling scheme. Two types of connections can be established in a piconet: the Synchronous Connection-Oriented (SCO) link, and the Asynchronous Counectiooless (ACL) link. SCO links provide a circuit-oriented service with cons… Show more

“…In addition, our experiments have pointed out that the performance of ACL links significantly suffers from the concurrent usage of SCO. This result has also emerged in [4] As a conclusive remark, the collected data point out that the performance of our Java-based middleware, in terms of both throughput and packet delay, is close to the Bluetooth raw hardware performance [4]. This confirms the viability of flexible application-level overlays to support QoS-enabled audio streaming, even when exploiting the Bluetooth links as the last-meter connectivity technology in the wireless Internet.…”

“…However, even in the best case of SCO links using HV1 packets and requiring only 2 time slots every 6, the SCO exploitation leaves very little of the piconet bandwidth available to other links. In practice, no more than two SCO links can be concurrently active in the same piconet and, also in this case, the other connections may easily get starved [4].…”

“…Li and M. data applications and assumed that customers arrive at queues according to a Poisson process. Increasingly, interest in polling systems is shifting from computer data applications to multimedia applications, e.g., in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs [8], Bluetooth [9], and DOC-SIS systems [10]. Particularly in 802.11 MAC, the Point Coordination Function (PCF) mode of operation, which is a polling-based mechanism, alternates with the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) mode of operation, a contentionbased channel access mechanism.…”

“…In fact, most commercial Bluetooth chips transfer application data over SCO as audio pulse code modulation samples, by exploiting lossy codecs based on continuously variable slope delta modulation before transmitting the data over the air. In addition, the SCO isochronicity requirements hardly match with software scheduling and the SCO support in most Bluetooth stacks for Linux and Microsoft Windows is demonstrating to be still immature, thus leading to very poor performance [17].…”
