The Bluetooth Wireless Protocol Model in VisualSim enables simulation of packet-based communication between Bluetooth-enabled devices and a central hub. It represents a master–slave topology (or hub–peripheral relationship in modern Bluetooth terminology), where the hub schedules and manages communication slots. There is a Bluetooth SoC template and a block that integrates Bluetooth with embedded systems.
This model incorporates statistical delays, hop-based transmission, bit timing, and packet collision probability, thereby reflecting the probabilistic nature of real-world Bluetooth environments. It allows engineers to analyze how factors such as packet size, connection interval, and interference affect performance in wireless systems. The model enables power optimization by managing the advertising, read, and write sizes.
By supporting flexible configuration of timing and collision parameters, this block is well-suited for system-level exploration of Bluetooth networks used in IoT, wearables, and embedded communication systems.
