History of Bluetooth



Introduction (contd)


Is Bluetooth here to stay?

What should we expect from
Bluetooth in the future?


What Bluetooth Delivers to the
end-user


Connects a wide range of computing and
telecommunication devices

Expand communication capabilities

Devices can communicate with each other
with wireless connectivity

Bluetooth Specifications
Things that you must have:
Transceivers and Receivers that can send and
receive data because they use Radio
Waves.
MAC Address (Physical Address)
Burnt on the NIC card by the manufacturer.
PIN Number
To identify the user using the device.
A Piconet
A FHHS protocol



What is a Piconet?
A Piconet session is a communication link
that must be created between devices for
devices to communicate with each other.

This is done when the MAC address and
the PIN number match.

Piconet (cont.)
If two devices come onto contact with each
other( 32 feet) the user will be prompted to
initiate a communication session

Users then can either deny or accept the request
to initiate a session

Only devices approved by the user can take part
in the session

Data will appear as noise to unauthorized
devices (A great security feature).
FHHS
Bluetooth devices use a protocol called (FHHS)
Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum .

Uses packet-switching to send data.

Bluetooth sends packets of data on a range of
frequencies.

In each session one device is a master and the
others are slaves.

The master device decides at which frequency
data will travel.
FHHS
Transceivers hop among 79 different
frequencies in the 2.4 GHz baud at a rate of
1600 frequency hops per second.

The master device tells the slaves at what
frequency data will be sent.

This technique allows devices to communicate
with each other more securely.
