End-to-End Simulation

Link-level simulation and analysis in the presence of RF impairments, path loss, and WLAN

Bluetooth^® Toolbox features and reference examples enable you to model end-to-end communication links and analyze the link-level performance of the Bluetooth basic rate/enhanced data rate (BR/EDR) and low energy (LE) communication systems.

Use the end-to-end simulation capabilities of the toolbox to:

Perform end-to-end Bluetooth BR/EDR and LE simulation and evaluate the performance in the presence of radio frequency (RF) impairments, path loss, and WLAN interference.
Compute the packet error rate (PER) and bit error rate (BER) values for the Bluetooth BR/EDR and LE waveforms.

To explore features and examples related to RF impairments and corrections, see RF Component Modeling.
