Abstract:

To improve the Bluetooth-based WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network) throughput, the system models were built, and the chaotic algorithm was designed to improve the WPAN throughput. The system models includes the WPAN network model and the data collision model. The data collision crushes the data packet and makes the data resending, and then the function of WPAN data throughput is deduced with the aforementioned conclusion. It can be proved that the number of piconets and the hamming correlation ability of the FH (Frequency Hopping) algorithm decide the WPAN throughput. The new chaotic FH algorithm based on the Chebyshev map was built. It has a better hamming correlation ability than the Bluetooth FH algorithm and can improve the WPAN throughput. The computational simulation and actual test were done. The test used the ARM1510 SoC (System on Chip)+nRF2401 radio chip to build the WPAN. Simulation and test results prove that the new chaotic FH algorithm can increase the WPAN maximum throughput about twice, in other words it can improve the number of piconets in the WPAN about twice with the same throughput.

Key words: WPAN, throughput, bluetooth, FH, chaos
