2. Definition of Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short range ( m) and low-cost wireless network system to replace cables and give RF connection between consumer devices.

3. What is Bluetooth? Why this name? When does it appear?
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology.
Why this name?
It was taken from the 10th century Danish King Harald Blatand who unified Denmark and Norway.
When does it appear?
1994 – Ericsson study on a wireless technology to link mobile phones & accessories.
5 companies (Ericssn,Nokia,IBM,Toshiba & Intel)joined to form the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) in 1998.
First specification released in July 1999.

5. Uses the radio range of 2.45 GHz
Theoretical maximum bandwidth is 1 Mb/s
Several Bluetooth devices can form an ad
hoc network called a “piconet”
– In a piconet one device acts as a master (sets
frequency hopping behavior) and the others as
slaves
– Example: A conference room with many
laptops wishing to communicate with each
Other

Laptops
Cellular phones
Personal Digital Assistants
Headsets
Printers
Keyboards/mice
GPS, etc…
Major use in consumer electronics

7. Allows up to 8 devices to communicate in a local
network called a Piconet, also known as a Personal
Area Network or PAN
Because of its low power consumption, its range is
limited to 10 m.
However, range can be increased to 100 m by
employing a scatternet topology or a higher powered
antenna
Three classes of Bluetooth devices
-Class 3 radios – have a range of up to 1 meter or 3
Feet.
-Class 2 radios – most commonly found in mobile
devices – have a range of 10 meters or 30 feet
-Class 1 radios – used primarily in industrial use
cases – have a range of 100 meters or 300 feet

8. The Bluetooth standard is maintained and published
by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG)
Includes thousands of member companies
Covers topics such as interoperability, testing and
qualification of bluetooth devices
Most important, outlines the specifications for:
- Bluetooth Radio
- Baseband
- LMP – Link Manager Protocol

9. Responsible for link set-up between devices,
including security functions :
– Authentication
– Encryption

10. Infrared IrDA (WPAN) : synchronization, link
between a phone and a laptop…
– Less flexible than Bluetooth, need of a line of site
– Comparable data rate
Wi-Fi (WLAN) : Wireless LAN access
– Far higher bandwidth and data rate than Bluetooth
– Higher power consumption than Bluetooth
– Requires infrastructure investment

12. Success of Bluetooth depends on how well it is integrated into consumer products
-Consumers are more interested in applications than the technology
-Bluetooth must be successfully integrated into consumer products
-Must provide benefits for consumer
-Must not destroy current product benefits
Key Success Factors
-Interoperability
-Mass Production at Low Cost
-Ease of Use
-End User Experience
