 Bluetooth is a wireless standard for
interconnecting computing and communication
devices using short-range and low power.
 This technology allows wireless connection
between various communication devices .
 It is Wireless technology not just a protocol.
 Named after Herald I, a Danish king who united
Denmark and Holland in the 10th century
 Developed by Ericsson and promoted by Intel,
Nokia, IBM, Toshiba, Microsoft, Lucent, Motorola
and 3Com.
 The Bluetooth logo is a bind rune merging the
Younger Futhark runes  and  Bjarkan , Herald's
initials.
 Robustness
 Low complexity of use
 Low power – 10 to 100 mw
 Low bandwidth – 1 Mbps to 2 Mbps
 Make devices mobile
 As devices communicate with each other using a
variety of wires, cables, radio signals and
infrared light beams, and an even greater variety
of connectors, plugs and protocols. Then
companies that manufacture computers,
entertainment systems and other electronic
devices have realized that the incredible array of
cables and connectors involved in their products
make it difficult for even expert technicians to
correctly set up a complete system in first try.
 Setting up computers and home entertainment
systems becomes terrifically complicated when
the person buying the equipment systems has
to learn and remember all the details to connect
all the parts. In order to make electronic
systems user friendly, we need some better
way for all the electronic parts of our modern
life to talk to each other.
So Bluetooth comes in…..
 Up to 8 devices can communicate in a small network,
called piconet.
 10 piconets can coexist in the same coverage range of
the Bluetooth radio.
 Each piconet has 1 MASTER and the rest serve as
SLAVES. SLAVES within a piconet only have links to
the MASTER.
 Specifies details of the air interface.
 Uses unlicensed ISM band, around 2.45GHz.

2. Baseband

• Connection establishment within a piconet

• Addressing
• Packet format
• Timing
• Power control.
• Error detection/Correction
 Link Setup
 Authentication

4. L2CAP

• Logical Link Control And Adaptation

Protocol
• Adapts upper layer protocols to the
baseband layer.
• Provides both connectionless and
connection oriented services.
 Service discovery protocol.
 Discover services offered by devices in the
neighborhood.
 Discover specific attributes of a given service.

6. HCI

• Host Controller Interface.

• Allows the implementation of lower
Bluetooth functions on the Bluetooth
device and higher protocol functions on a
host machine.
 A reliable transport protocol,
 Emulates Serial Connection
 Provides point-to-point communications
 Allows applications like fax and internet
browsing possible
8. TCS

• Telephony control specification

• Bit oriented protocol
• Group Management
– Handling multiple handsets of speech & data
calls.
 Infrared is a “line of sight” technology.
example – to point the remote control at the
television or DVD player to make things
happen.
 Infrared is almost always a “one to one”
technology. You can send data between your
desktop computer and laptop computer but not
to your laptop computer and your PDA at the
same time.
 Works in a short range only.
 The MASTER node is the bottleneck.
 No. of nodes in piconet is limited.
