Bluetooth Performance Analysis on Device Reminder System Based on Distance Measurement and Received Signal Strength Indicator.

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is one of technology that is currently being developed and widely applied in
various sectors. That is supported by the development of IoT device infrastructure which is increasingly sophisticated
and modern so its capable to meet various needs in its application. IoT can also be applied as a tool to assist one's
activities in daily life within scope of a private network which are called Personal Area Network (PAN), one of them
as a reminder tool. Reminders can be used to remind a person on an important condition such as stuff that drop
behind. Sometimes a person forgets to put his stuff so it left behind in a place, and it will bring up a risk that is loss of
stuff. To help the problem is required a reminder device that is expected to minimize the risk that may occur. This
device applies a point to point communication consisting of one transmitter module that is Bluetooth Low Energy
AT-09 and one receiver module that is Android smartphone. This reminder device will activate the alarm on Android
smartphone when both modules are spaced more than 5 meters. Then, from the implementation of this system will do
an analysis of quality of service based on the value of Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and the distance
between the two modules. Quality of service’s parameters which will analyze is delay and packet loss. Based on test
results, signal strenght value (RSSI) and packet loss parameters are strongly influenced by barricade media, because
when both modules are in unobstructed condition they are indicates a stronger signal strength value and few packet
loss occurs. While for the delay parameter is influenced by the data rate transfer of bluetooth devices.
