TCP is the current dominant transport protocol, mainly used in fixed networks. It is well-known that TCP performance may degrade over paths that include wireless links, where packet losses are often not related to congestion, but to the unreliability of the transmission medium. In this paper, this problem is examined considering a wireless link based on Bluetooth radio equipment. Bluetooth (BT) is a low-cost system in the unlicensed 2.4GHz band. It provides a reliable data transmission using fast frequency hopping technique and Stop-and-Wait ARQ scheme.
