Simulate Bluetooth BR Network

Create a wirelessNetworkSimulator object by using the wirelessNetworkSimulator.init() function. By default, the wirelessNetworkSimulator object applies free-space path loss model for the channel effects.

networkSimulator = wirelessNetworkSimulator.init();

Create two Bluetooth BR nodes, one with the "central" role and other with the "peripheral" role. Specify the position of the Peripheral node in meters.

centralNode = bluetoothNode("central");
peripheralNode = bluetoothNode("peripheral",Position=[1 0 0]);

Create a default Bluetooth BR connection configuration object to configure and share a connection between Bluetooth BR Central and Peripheral nodes.

cfgConnection = bluetoothConnectionConfig;

Configure connection between the Central and the Peripheral nodes.

connection = configureConnection( ...
    cfgConnection,centralNode,peripheralNode);

Create and configure a networkTrafficOnOff object to generate an On-Off application traffic pattern.

traffic = networkTrafficOnOff( ...
    DataRate=200, ...
    PacketSize=27, ...
    GeneratePacket=true, ...
    OnTime=inf);

Add application traffic from the Central to the Peripheral node.

addTrafficSource(centralNode,traffic, ...
    DestinationNode=peripheralNode);

Add the Central and Peripheral nodes to the wireless network simulator.

addNodes(networkSimulator,[centralNode peripheralNode]);

Schedule Action

Create a custom function displayInfo to define the actions for the simulator to perform during simulation. You can define an one time action, periodic action, and action when simulator advances in time. The input data for the custom function is stored as a structure and passed using the scheduleAction function.

A) Schedule One Time Action

For the one time action, the displayInfo function displays the details of the nodes in the network.

Specify the ActionType input argument value of displayInfo function as "OneTime". Specify the names of the nodes in the network as input to displayInfo function.

userdata = struct( ...
    ActionType="OneTime", ...
    Nodes=[centralNode peripheralNode]);

Configure the simulator by using the scheduleAction function to display the node details when the simulation time is 0.001s.

startTime = 0.001;
scheduleAction(networkSimulator,@displayInfo,userdata,startTime);

B) Schedule Periodic Action

For the periodic action, the displayInfo function displays the physical layer statistics of the central node in the Bluetooth BR network.

Specify the ActionType input argument value of displayInfo function as "Periodic". Specify the central node and the simulator as inputs to displayInfo function.

userdata = struct( ...
    ActionType="Periodic", ...
    CentralNode=centralNode, ...
    Simulator=networkSimulator);

Configure the simulator by using the scheduleAction function to display the physical layer statistics of the central node at a time interval of 0.002s starting from the beginning of the simulation.

startTime = 0;
periodicity = 0.002;
scheduleAction( ...
    networkSimulator,@displayInfo,userdata,startTime,periodicity);

C) Schedule Action When Simulator Advances in Time

When the simulator advances in time, the displayInfo function displays the next event time of the simulator.

Specify the ActionType input argument value of displayInfo function as "TimeAdvance". Specify the simulator as input to the displayInfo function.

userdata = struct( ...
    ActionType="TimeAdvance", ...
    Simulator=networkSimulator);

Set the periodicity value to 0. Configure the simulator by using the scheduleAction function to display the time of the next event.

startTime = 0;
periodicity = 0;
scheduleAction( ...
    networkSimulator,@displayInfo,userdata,startTime,periodicity);

Run Simulation

Specify the simulation time in seconds.

simulationTime = 0.003;

Run the simulation for the specified simulation time.

run(networkSimulator,simulationTime);
