BLUETOOTH

TECHNOLOGY
 WHAT IS BLUETOOTH

• Bluetooth is short-range and low power

wireless technology originally developed for
exchanging data over short distances from
fixed and mobile device,creating personal area
device
 WORKING
• In simple language Bluetooth takes the information
normally carried by wire and transmits it at a special
frequency to another Bluetooth device
• Both sending and receiving devices have same
Bluetooth receiver chip, which translates data into
wireless transmission and then back to normal again
depending on the sender or receiver.
• Both sending and receiving devices have same
Bluetooth receiver chip, which translates data into
wireless transmission and then back to normal again
depending on the sender or receiver.
 How bluetooth work?
• Short-range radio frequency technology that
operates at 2,4 GHZ on an unlicensed
industrial scientific medical(ISM) band.
• Effective range of bluetooth devices is 10
metres
• It is originally conceived as a wireless
alternative to data cables

Class 3 1mW 1meters

 Bluetooth protocol
Radio frequency
• Responsible for the modulation and demodulation of data into RF signal.
• The radio layer describes the physical characteristics a bluetooth device’s
receiver transmitter component must have.

Baseband protocol
• Responsible for channel coding and decoding.
• Digitizes the signals received by the radio for passing up the stack.
 Baseband
• The baseband enable the radio frequency link
between Bluetooth devices to form a Pico-net.
Information is exchanged in packets in
Bluetooth.
• Both circuit switching and packet switching is
used to transfer the packets in the network.
 The Link Manager Protocol
• The link manager protocol is responsible for
setting a link between two Bluetooth devices.
This protocol layer is responsible for security
issues like authentication, encryption,
exchanging and checking the link and
encryption keys.
Logical Link Control and Adaptation -
Layer (L2CAP)
• The Bluetooth logical link control and
adaptation layer supports higher level
multiplexing, segmentation and reassembly of
packets and quality of service communication
and groups. This layer is not responsible for
reliability and uses ARQ to ensure it.
