8. doc.: IEEE 802.15- 03/0394-00 Submission Sept 2003Sept 03 Tom Siep, TMS ConsultingSlide 8 Feature: Architecture Overview Describes how Bluetooth fits together –New first section in BT Spec that mirrors 802.15.1 –Redefines terms, for example AM_ADDR becomes LTID (Logical Transport ID) L2CAP CID becomes LLID (Logical Link ID) Host Controller becomes Controller (Just like.15) –Allows future specification versions to be more architecturally consistent

13. doc.: IEEE 802.15- 03/0394-00 Submission Sept 2003Sept 03 Tom Siep, TMS ConsultingSlide 13 Feature: Adaptive Frequency Hopping Defines a new hopping kernel which allows an arbitrary set of frequencies to be used –Good channels are still used –Bad channels are mapped onto good channels Same Channel used for Tx and Rx Channel Classification can be by Active or Passive means –Specification gives example algorithms –Subset of 802.15.2

14. doc.: IEEE 802.15- 03/0394-00 Submission Sept 2003Sept 03 Tom Siep, TMS ConsultingSlide 14 Feature: Extended SCO (eSCO) Enhances Synchronous Connection-Oriented [logical transport] Adds EV3, EV4 and EV5 packet types –EV3 = HV3 + CRC –EV4 = 3 slot HV2 + CRC –EV5 = 3 slot HV3 + CRC CRC allows retransmissions of corrupted EV packets Uses separate LTID (AM_ADDR) –Separate LTID implies separate ARQ scheme

15. doc.: IEEE 802.15- 03/0394-00 Submission Sept 2003Sept 03 Tom Siep, TMS ConsultingSlide 15 Feature: Scatternet / Scattermode Scatternet –Relaxes requirements of a slave to allow them to listen to two masters. This is required for Scattermode to be entered into. Scattermode –Defines periodic packets that shall be sent by the master of a piconet so that slaves can synchronize. These packets contain data flow information so that time listening on one piconet is optimized.

16. doc.: IEEE 802.15- 03/0394-00 Submission Sept 2003Sept 03 Tom Siep, TMS ConsultingSlide 16 Feature: Absence Masks Define a period of time when a device will not be active in a piconet –Only applies to “low priority” traffic like ACL –SCO still works in absences Used to notify a third device about a commitment with a second device, regardless of roles

17. doc.: IEEE 802.15- 03/0394-00 Submission Sept 2003Sept 03 Tom Siep, TMS ConsultingSlide 17 Feature: L2CAP Flow & Error Control Segments SDU’s into multiple PDU’s Each has –Sequence and Acknowledge numbers –Different 16bit CRC to check data integrity –Flow Control bits to control flow and retransmissions per LLID Two modes –Retransmission Mode –Flow Control Only

19. doc.: IEEE 802.15- 03/0394-00 Submission Sept 2003Sept 03 Tom Siep, TMS ConsultingSlide 19 Feature: LMP / HCI LMP adds 15 bit op-codes –Adds a 15bit LMP Op-codes to allow more LMP commands to be defined. Clarifies the procedures when an unknown LMP Op- code is received. HCI Get LMP Handle –Gets LMP SCO Handle for SCO Channels HCI Read Clock –Reads Local or Remote BT Clock –Returns Clock and Accuracy

20. doc.: IEEE 802.15- 03/0394-00 Submission Sept 2003Sept 03 Tom Siep, TMS ConsultingSlide 20 Feature: Anonymity Mode Private Bluetooth Addresses –BD_ADDR will become private information –Page Scan and Inquiry Scan on a random public BD_ADDR which changes periodically Pairing done on Public Address –Once link is encrypted, then private addresses can be exchanged Alias Authentication –Need to authenticate with a network address not a public address. Single alias address for multiple devices.
