The Bluetooth Technology: Specifications and Performance
Abstract
Bluetooth technology provides a low cost, low power and low complexity solution for ad-hoc wireless connectivity. The technology is capable of connecting a wide variety of devices like Personal Digital Assistants (PDA), mobile and cordless phones, headsets, desktops and notebook PCs, digital cameras, home appliances etc. The applications include eliminating cables/wires between devices like PCs, printers, modems, projectors, self synchronization between PDAs and PCs, wirelessly connecting to local area networks (LANs) through access points and internet through mobile phones, providing home networking solutions etc.
This talk provides an overview of Bluetooth technology and its applications. The Bluetooth system is introduced and various modes of operation are discussed. A description of functionalities of Bluetooth layers and the protocol specifications is presented. Various usage scenarios and the profiles which support them are explained. An insight into the performance of Bluetooth based systems is provided. Means of evaluating/improving performance of Bluetooth based systems are discussed. Finally, we provide an overview of a number of open research problems related to Bluetooth specifically, and short range wireless in general.
