BLUETOOTH

By:-SS.SUNDAR RAJ
 What is Bluetooth?
A unique new wireless
technology specifically for:
 Short range
— Up to 30 meters typically
 Modest performance
(721Kbps)
 Dynamic configurability
— i.e. ad hoc
networking/roaming
 Low power
— Well suited to handheld
applications
 Support for both voice and
data

And an EXPLOSIVE growth market!!!

 What is Bluetooth Good For?
 No Wires!
— In the home
— On the move

 Personal Area Networking (PAN)

— Enabling a collection of YOUR personal devices to
cooperatively work together

 Locality sensitive services (i.e. roaming)

— Visibility and access to additional resources, but only
when they are within range and useful to you

 ORIGIN OF BLUETOOTH

1994, ERICSSON MOBILE COMMUNICATION, THE GLOBAL

TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANY BASED IN SWEDEN,
INITIATED A STUDY TO INVESTIGATE A LOW POWER,
LOW COST RADIO INTERFACE TECHNOLOGY.

AIM :-
TO ELIMINATE CABLE BETWEEN MOBILE PHONE & PC
CARDS, HEADSETS, DESKTOPS & OTHER DEVICES.
ATTENTION OF OTHER COMPANIES

GROUP:-
- SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP(SIG) IN MAY 1998.
- BLUETOOTH 1.0, RELEASED IN JULY 1999

 MODES

ACTIVE MODE- ACTIVELY PARTICIPATES ON THE CHANNEL.

SNIFF MODE- MASTER CAN ONLY START TRANSMISSION IN

SPECIFIED TIME.

HOLD MODE- SLAVE CAN DO OTHER THINGS, LIKE SCANNING,

PAGING, INQUIRY, OR ATTENDING OTHER
PICONET.

PARK MODE-- SLAVE DOSE NOT WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE

PICONET BUT STILL WANT TO SYNCHRONIZED
TO THE CHANNEL
 CONNECTION ESTABLISHEMENT & INQUIRY

CONNECTION TO THE DESIRED DEVICE IS MADE BY PAGE.

INQUIRY MESSAGE BEFORE PAGING IF RECIPIENT MESSAGE

IS UNKNOWN.

BEFORE CONNECTION MADE DEVICES ARE IN STANDBY MODE.

PAGE / INQUIRY MESSAGE AFTER EVERY 1.28sec TO LISTEN.

32 DIFFERENT HOP FREQUENCY AFTER EVERY WAKEUP TIME.

WHEN PAGING, MASTER MUST KNOW THE SLAVE ADDRESS.

IN CONNECTION STATUS, DEVICE MAY BE IN DIFFERENT MODE.

SERVICE DISCOVERY PROTOCOL(SDP)

BASEBAND & LINK CONTROL

Baseband and Link Control together enable a physical RF link

between Bluetooth units forming a piconet. This layer is
responsible for synchronizing the transmission-
hopping frequency and clocks of different
Bluetooth devices.
 AUDIO LINK

Audio is routed directly to and from Baseband. Any two Bluetooth

devices supporting audio can send and receive audio data
between each other just by opening an audio link.
LINK MANEGER PROTOCOL

Link Manager Protocol (LMP) is responsible for link set-up

(authentication and encryption, control, and negotiation
of base band packets) between Bluetooth devices and
for power modes and connection states of a
Bluetooth unit.
 L2CAP

Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol (L2CAP) takes

care of multiplexing, reassembly, and segmentation of
packets.
 SDP

Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) is needed when requesting device

information, services, and the characteristics of other devices.
Devices have to support the same service in order to
establish a connection with each other.
 CABLE RELACEMENT PROTOCOL

RFCOMM emulates RS-232 signals and can thus be used in

applications that were formerly implemented with a serial
cable (e.g., a connection between a laptop computer
and a mobile phone).
 TELEPHONY PROTOCOL

Telephony Control Protocol – Binary (TCS-BIN) defines the call

control signaling for the establishment of speech and data
call between Bluetooth devices [Protocols, p.9]. AT
commands provide means for controlling a
mobile phone or a modem.
