The IEEE earns their revenue from publishing. This will be a Bluetooth “Protocol Stack” Pocket Guide not a MAC/PHY Pocket Guide.] Purpose:[The purpose of the Bluetooth Pocket Guide Report is to advise the MC as to the progress of the IEEE Standards Publishing Programs with the Bluetooth SIGs Pocket Guide.] Notice:This document has been prepared to assist the IEEE It is offered as a basis for discussion and is not binding on the contributing individual(s) or organization(s).

There will be more Pocket Guides.

More Complexity More Pages Less Complexity Less Pages Designer’s Companion? Pocket Guides Designer’s Companion: MAC & PHY Layer The collateral that will help with technology adoption could take the form of Pocket Guides Which are page books that complement the Specification.
