1. 1 Introduction to Bluetooth v1.1 (Part I) Overview Radio Specification Baseband Specification LMP L2CAP

2. 2 Overview an always-on, short-range radio hookup resident on microchip initially developed by Swedish company Ericsson in 1994 > 1000 companies have signed on to make Bluetooth the low-power, short- range wireless standard

3. 3 Business Week, Sept. 2000 “ expect Bluetooth to be installed in billions of devices by 2005 ” Bluetooth standards are published by an industry consortium known as “ Bluetooth SIG (special interest group) ”. IEEE 802.15.1 newer version v1.2

4. 4 Goals a universal short-range wireless capability on 2.4 GHz band (which is globally available for unlicensed low- power uses) In 10 meters, two bluetooth devices can share up to 720Kbps rate. Support data, audio, graphics, and even videos.

5. 5 Capability make calls from a wireless headset eliminate cables linking computers, printers, keyboards, and mouses hook MP3 players wirelessly remotely control AC, oven, home devices

6. 6 General Application Category data and voice access points: effortless wireless connection cable replacement: normally 10 m, but can be extended up to 100 meters ad hoc networking: building a network instantly when two bluetooth devices meet

7. 7 Networking Capability Brief up to 8 devices can communicate in a small network called a “ piconet ” 10 piconets can coexist in the same coverage range with insignificant degradation security mechanism to protect each wireless link

8. 8 Standards Documents > 1500 pages divided into two groups: core protocol layers, architecture, radio, timer profile each profile specification discusses the use of the core spec. to implement a usage model. to define a standard of interoperability two categories: cable replacement and wireless audio

9. 9 Protocol Architecture Radio: interface, frequency hopping, modulation, transmit power Baseband: connection establishment in a piconet, addressing, packet format, timing, power control Link Management Protocol (LMP): link setup, authentication, packet size

10. 10 Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol (L2CAP): adapts upper-layer protocols to baseband, connectionless service, connection-oriented service Service Discovery Protocol (SDP): device info (service, characteristic), service query

12. 12 Usage Models in profile documents each usage model defines a set of protocols that implement a particular Bluetooth-based application Fig. 15.3 illustrates the highest-priority usage models.

14. 14 Piconet piconet: the basic networking unit one master + 1~7 active slaves Master: determining channel and timing channel: frequency-hopping sequence timing: offset and when to transmit the decision is based on its device address as a parameter

15. 15 Frequency Hopping among Piconets Typically, FH scheme uses carriers spacing of 1 MHz with up to 80 different frequencies. So, with FH, there are 80 logical channels (theoretically). When two piconets choose the same 1MHz-band, collision occurs.

16. 16 Scatternet a device in one piconet may also exist as part of another piconet as either a master or slave in each piconet such overlapping is called a scatternet
