Definition of Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short range (10-100 m) and low-cost wireless network system to replace cables and give RF connection between consumer devices.
What is Bluetooth?
o
It was taken from the 10th century Danish King Harald Blatand who unified Denmark and Norway. 1994 Ericsson study on a wireless technology to link mobile phones & accessories. 5 companies (Ericssn,Nokia,IBM,Toshiba & Intel)joined to form the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) in 1998 named. First specification released in July 1999.
Uses the radio range of 2.45 GHz Theoretical maximum bandwidth is 1 Mb/s Several Bluetooth devices can form an ad hoc network called a piconet In a piconet one device acts as a master (sets frequency hopping behavior) and the others as slaves Example: A conference room with many laptops wishing to communicate with each Other
Laptops Cellular phones Personal Digital Assistants Headsets Printers Keyboards/mice GPS, etc
Allows up to 8 devices to communicate in a local network called a Piconet, also known as a Personal Area Network or PAN Because of its low power consumption, its range is limited to 10 m. However, range can be increased to 100 m by employing a scatternet topology or a higher powered antenna Three classes of Bluetooth devices -Class 3 radios have a range of up to 1 meter or 3 Feet. -Class 2 radios most commonly found in mobile devices have a range of 10 meters or 30 feet -Class 1 radios used primarily in industrial use cases have a range of 100 meters or 300 feet
The Bluetooth standard is maintained and published by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) Includes thousands of member companies Covers topics such as interoperability, testing and qualification of bluetooth devices Most important, outlines the specifications for: - Bluetooth Radio - Baseband - LMP Link Manager Protocol
Responsible for link set-up between devices, including security functions : Authentication Encryption
Infrared IrDA (WPAN) : synchronization, link between a phone and a laptop Less flexible than Bluetooth, need of a line of site Comparable data rate Wi-Fi (WLAN) : Wireless LAN access Far higher bandwidth and data rate than Bluetooth Higher power consumption than Bluetooth Requires infrastructure investment
