BLUETOOTH

Bluetooth is a low-power wireless technology used for exchange of data within

a short range. Bluetooth build a Personal Area Network(PAN) for exchange of
data between mobile devices. This technology was invented by Ericsson in
1994. Bluetooth is based on radio technology known as frequency-hopping
spread spectrum. In this technology, the data is transmitted in the form of
packets. It is a very good topic for a M.Tech thesis. Thesis help in this topic
can be taken from an expert in this field. Along with this it is also a very good
choice for major project in ECE. There are two processes of Bluetooth
technology:

 Basic Rate/Enhanced Data Rate(BR/ED)–It uses point-to-point topology to

enable continuous wireless communication between two devices. The common

example for this is wireless speakers.

 Low Energy(LE) – It uses multiple network topologies for communication which

include point-to-point, mesh and broadcast. Point-to-point is for one to one device

communication. Broadcast is for one to many device communication. Mesh is for

many to many device communication.

 Many consumers are using this technology worldwide for streaming audio, data

exchange and broadcasting information. Bluetooth technology uses a variety of

protocols. The Bluetooth protocol stack is divided into two parts: Controller

Stack and the host stack.

 The controller stack is implemented in low-cost silicon devices that contains

Bluetooth radio and a microprocessor. The host stack is implemented on the top

of the operating system or as an installable package on the operating system

 How Bluetooth technology works?

The Bluetooth network is also known as Personal Area Network or Piconet in

which there are 2 to 8 devices. One is the master device that initiates the

communication while other are the slaves. The slave devices respond to the

action of the master device. The master device governs the transmission

between the slave devices. A slave device may begin transmission only in an

allotted time slot.

A scatternet is created when a device participates in

more than one piconet .

 Features of Bluetooth Technology

 Following are some of the features of Bluetooth technology:

 Based on radio technology.

 Power consumption is less.

 There are fewer complications.

 Robust

 Cheaper
 Applications of Bluetooth technology

 Wireless mobile phone headset.

 Bluetooth enabled laptops and Pcs.

 Wireless mouse and keyboard.

 Data transfer between mobile devices

Disadvantages of Bluetooth Technology

Along with benefits, there are certain disadvantages of Bluetooth technology.

Some of these are:

 High battery consumption.

 Security is poor.

 The data transfer is low.

 Lower bandwidth.
