Performance Evaluation of Bluetooth andZigbee Using Monte Carlo Simulation
Wireless networking technologies are being
implemented in quite a few devices including phones,
mobiles, mp3 players etc. The performance of these
technologies varies from one to another. The aim of this
paper is to analyze the performances of two different low
power consumption technologies: Bluetooth and Zigbee. The
performance parameters include data coding efficiency and
transmission rate. For the analysis we used Monte Carlo
simulation and conclusion is drawn on the basis of its results
to find the optimum performance among Bluetooth and
zigbee. A brief analysis of these graphs is presented in the
paper and from this analysis. We propose which of these
two technologies Bluetooth or Zigbee gives better
performance for data transfer. This analysis will help
engineers to select proper technology for their applications.
The results are carried out by using deterministic and
stochastic models for evaluating the performance of
Bluetooth and Zigbee in terms of transmission time and
data coding efficiency. This paper draws a conclusion that
Zigbee is superior at the low rate payload size than the
misconception of Bluetooth in practical applications for data
transfer, whereas Bluetooth is observed to perform
efficiently at the higher end payload size. The simulation
results verify that the stochastic model can effectively
provide real time traffic with ideal performance. The
analysis with random noise and jamming can be challenging
future works.
