Is there a way to measure speed transmission?

Wireless & IoT

Hello,

I have a Bluetooth conection between two devices, I was wondering if there is a way to measure the speed of the transmission.

Thanks.

Sorry, I forgot to ask. If it is not possible to measure the speed of transmission, is there a device that allow me to to do that?

Thanks.

One of these might do it.

You may also write some code that send/receives data, counts the number of bytes and a start/stop time to give the average data rate.

if speed of the transmission means data rates and throughput, then this is a too-simple problem. Else...

if you mean ranging, well, practically speaking no. It’s quite expensive but doable, e.g., Ekahau, Aeroscout, WhereNet and other real time location (RTLS) products. There are two location techniques: time difference of arrival and RF Footprinting aka received signal strengths in a grid vs. a calibration database.

Wikipedia can talk to you about TDOA, TOA, RTLS.

expensive and complicated.

If you want to know the speed of a moving object, read about doppler techniques using RF or ultrasonics.
