The latency is an issue when action of one side is dependent on reaction of the other side. Usually there are narrow time limits that have to be considered, and the time an action travels over USB or Ethernet may simply be to long. The other thing may be jitter, many protocols do not like variations in the timing, but those are more or less normal for USB or Ethernet. The closest binding between hardware and controller is doing it all in the FPGA, what could be considered as a real time system.

The hop rate of Bluetooth in paging substate increases as 3200 hop/sec too. So you mean the N210 USRP can't support 1600 (or 3200) hop/sec? What do you mean by "latency"? Is that the latency of the USB or Ethernet? Jeff, please clarify your stance. Why the latency problem doesn't matter X-series USRP?

I should have said that, with either USB or Ethernet, and with a non-real-time O/S, the latency to too great. Hop rate is generally 1600 hops/sec. Take a look at the Bluetooth physical layer spec for more info.

So far I got this "gr-Bluetooth, Bluetooth for You could build one in the FPGA of an X-series box. Latency and tuning requirements exceed what you can do with a N210.

I built it and checked but couldn't find one. Can you suggest any existing implementation of complete Bluetooth stack ? Any Help is appreciated.
