Abstract

This paper investigates the case of a wireless sensor network deploying Bluetooth technology. The paper analyses main technological features of Bluetooth, such as error recovery, power consumption and connection establishment, and using some experimental results analyses their effect on the Quality of Service in the sensor network. The paper presents a case for a different view of QoS in sensor networks. We argue that the network availability, reliability and especially the originality (freshness) of data have emerged as crucial QoS issues in wireless sensor networking. The paper puts emphasis on master-side scheduling in Bluetooth and analyses using simulation the performance of three scheduling schemes in a sensor network model. We analyse the performance of the schemes in symmetric and asymmetric load environments and with different bit error probabilities. Two of the schemes are specially designed for sensor networks, and one of them, the Maximum Burst Delay First, shows very good results in the asymmetric load environment.
