What is Bluetooth ?

• Bluetooth is a short-range wireless network originally intended


to replace the cable(s) connecting portable and/or fixed
electronic devices. Such a network is also sometimes called a
PAN (Personal Area Network)
• Bluetooth is supposed to got it’s name from Harald
“Bluetooth” II, King of Denmark 940-981
• The concept was first patented by Ericsson. Currently the
Bluetooth trade mark is owned by the Bluetooth SIG, a
consortium of companies having stake in Bluetooth
• Key features are robustness, low power, and low cost.
Bluetooth Was Originally a
Cable-Replacement Technology

Comparison with other wireless
technologies

IEEE 802.11
Has higher bitrate compared to Bluetooth . But has
higher power consumption. Basic a LAN technology
so not a direct competitor for Bluetooth

IrDA
Low cost but require Line of sight. Only point to
point

HomeRF
Competing technology. But current Bluetooth is
better positioned in market
Bluetooth Architecture

 Operates on the 2.4 GHZ ISM Band


 Data is transmitted in packets during time slots which are of
fixed duration
 Uses Quick Frequency Hoping Packet Switched Protocol to
achieve noise immunity
Connections can be made up to 10 meters or extended up to
100 meters
 Maximum speed supported in Version 1 is 1 Mbps
Each Transceiver has a unique 48 Bit Address
 Full Duplex communication is supported through Time
Division Duplex (TDD)
Basic Blocks
Bluetooth network infrastructures
Key aspects

 Interoperability
 Different Applications can run over
Different Protocol Stacks
 Open Interface
 Protocol Divided Into 4 layers
Bluetooth Protocol Stack
Bluetooth Profiles
Profiles are basically usage models defined by the SIG
to ensure that Bluetooth devices and applications
developed by different vendors are interoperable

Some examples of profiles are

• File transfer Profile


• Dial Up Networking Profile
• Head Set profile
• Hands free Phone Operation profile
• Human Interface Device ( HID) Profile etc
Bluetooth services
 Two modes

 Synchronous Connection-oriented Link, SCO


 Needed for voice
 Master reserves time slots

 Asynchronous Connectionless Link, ACL


 Needed for packet oriented data transfer
 Master uses polling
Bluetooth Design and
Development Tools
 Design tools:
tools RF and digital design tools,
simulators, and other tools

 Development tools:
tools including modules, chipsets,
RA and digital kits, protocol implementations and
other tools

 Testing/evaluation tools
Bluetooth Security
 Supports Unidirectional or Mutual Encryption
based on a Secret Link key Shared Between
Two Devices
 Access control from and to devices

 Security Defined In 3 modes:


 Mode1- No Security
 Mode 2 - Service Level Security: Not Established
Before Channel is Established at L2CAP
 Mode 3 - Link Level Security: Device Initiates Security
Before LMP Link is Setup
