Simulation tool for Bluetooth

Question

Hi All

Can any body suggest me the best simulation tool now a days for Bluetooth Networks. in order to test various algorithoms about Routing and Roaming issue.

Answer 1

There are two that I know of: NS-2 (with the UCBT: Bluetooth Extension) and QualNet. Of those, NS2 is probably the most used.

Answer 2

Is it possible in Matlab to do simulation for Bluetooth algorithoms

Answer 3

sir, can you guide me about the handover concept in Bluetooth, i mean its implementation. Bluetooth Roaming??

Answer 4

There is ns3 those ns2 is still the most widely used simulator. The network simulation 2 and 3 are opensource projects with lots of implementations and protocol models already available to you. In such case all you need to do is, write the code of your network setup on a tcl file and execute. Voila, you have ur output on the trace file.

Qualnet is propitiatory and very expensive to license, but is definitely more easy to use. Also the support you get from their team is great.

So if you have the dough to get qualnet, I would recommend that else opensource projects rule... :)
