End-to-End Simulation

Link-level simulation and analysis in the presence of RF impairments, path loss, WLAN, and 5G NR interference

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, WLAN and 5G New Radio (NR) interference.

  • Compute the packet error rate (PER) and 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.
