Bluetooth

Prepared by:
Sanjay Singhal
Who named it ?
• 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.
What is it?
• 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.
Key features
• Works at 2.45 GHz.
• Robust
• Low complexity of use
• Low power – 10 to 100 mw
• Low bandwidth – 1 Mbps to 2 Mbps
Need for Bluetooth
 The 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
remember 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.
Architecture
• 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.
Bluetooth Protocol stack
1. Radio layer

• 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
3. LMP

• 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.
5. SDP
 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.
7. RFCOMM

• 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.
Drawbacks of infrared removed by bluetooth

• 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.
Bluetooth Limitations

• Works in a short range only.


• The MASTER node is the bottleneck.
• No. of nodes in piconet is limited.
