  2. Tuesday agenda • General Bluetooth concepts • Definition • Overview • Core specifications • Introduction to BlipNet API

  3. General Bluetooth concepts • Definition • A short-range wireless communication technology for voice and data. Bluetooth communicates via a frequency hopping transceiver in the ISM band. It is based on a low-cost short-range radio link facilitating protected ad hoc connections for stationary and mobile communication.

  4. General Bluetooth concepts • Overview • The Bluetooth wireless connectivity technology was originally envisioned in 1994 by the Swedish phone equipment maker Ericsson as a way for mobile devices to communicate with each other at short ranges -- up to 30 feet, or 10 meters. In 1998, Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Nokia, and Toshiba formed the Bluetooth Special Interest Group consortium to develop a royalty-free, open specification for short-range wireless connectivity. Since then, more than 2000 companies have joined the Bluetooth SIG, including virtually all manufacturers of phone, computer, and PDA equipment.

  5. General Bluetooth concepts • Core specifications • 2.4 GHz ISM Open band • Bluetooth divides the 2.4 GHz frequency band into 79 channels 1 MHz apart (from 2.402 to 2.480 GHz), • The frequency hopping is carried out up to 1600 times a second • 10 cm-10 meters range (can be extended to 100 m) • 8 active devices per piconet (share datarate) • Up to 10 piconets in bubble (full datarate) • 1 Megabyte per second gross rate • Bluetooth defines provisions for three low-power operating modes in order to conserve battery life: sniff, park and hold mode

  6. General Bluetooth concepts • Core specifications (continued) • 802.15 vs. 802.11 • While both Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11b are wireless communication protocols and both operate in the 2.4GHz band, it is important not to visualize Bluetooth as a replacement for 802.11 wireless LAN technology. • The 802.11b protocol is designed to connect relatively large devices with lots of power and speed, such as desktops and laptops. Devices communicate at up to 11 Mbit/sec, at greater distances (up to 300 feet, or 100 meters). By contrast, Bluetooth is designed to connect small devices like PDAs, mobile phones, and peripherals at slower speeds (1 Mbit/sec), within a shorter range (30 feet, or 10 meters), which reduces power requirements.

  8. General Bluetooth concepts • The radio layer is the physical wireless connection • The baseband layer is responsible for controlling and sending data packets over the radio link • The baseband layer maintains Synchronous Connection-Oriented (SCO) links for voice and Asynchronous Connectionless (ACL) links for data • The Link Manager Protocol (LMP) uses the links set up by the baseband to establish connections and manage piconets. • The Host Controller Interface (HCI) is the dividing line between software and hardware. • The Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol (L2CAP) receives application data and adapts it to the Bluetooth format
