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
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
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
Fast acknowledgement
Fast frequency hopping scheme
Shorter packets
Looking Forward
Version 1.2 Ready for release
Adaptive Frequency hopping for
better noise immunity
Better security and audio
processing features
Version 2.0
Still on the anvil
Proposed to support medium ( 2-3
Mbps) and high bit rates (12 Mbps)
