Performance of a Bluetooth IP Network for Streaming High Quality Audio

An ’Internet Protocol’ (IP) network established over Bluetooth affords higher practical throughput compared to the ‘Synchronous Connection Oriented’ (SCO) physical link allowing the usage of high quality audio codecs such as the ‘Motion Picture Expert Group-1 Layer 3’ (MP3) and ‘Ogg Vorbis’ audio codecs. The Bluetooth IP network by default sets the ‘Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol’ (L2CAP) layer to infinite retransmissions effecting a trade-off between audio quality and audio playback continuity. This paper studies the attributes of the Bluetooth IP network for streaming stored high quality audio.
