Get Started with Bluetooth Toolbox

Simulate, analyze, and test Bluetooth communications systems

MathWorks Bluetooth^® Toolbox provides standard-based tools to design, simulate, and verify Bluetooth communications systems. It supports test waveform generation, golden reference verification, and Bluetooth network modeling.

With the toolbox, you can configure, simulate, and analyze end-to-end Bluetooth communication links. You can create and reuse test benches to verify that your designs, prototypes, and implementations comply with the Bluetooth standard, including Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) and Bluetooth Classic. You can also assess coexistence, interference, localization, and LE Audio scenarios by modeling multiple layers of the Bluetooth protocol stack.

Note

For information on reading from and writing to Bluetooth peripheral devices by using the Bluetooth interface in MATLAB^®, see Bluetooth Communication. For information on reading from and writing to Bluetooth LE peripheral devices, see Bluetooth Low Energy Communication.
