3. Bluetooth is a global, RF-based 2.4 GHz short-range,
connectivity solution for portable, personal devices
it is not just a radio, it is an end-to-end solution
The Bluetooth spec comprises
a HW & SW protocol specification
IEEE 802.15.1 is working on standardizing the PHY
and MAC layers in Bluetooth

4. Introduction
• What is Bluetooth?
• Why is it useful?
• Governing Standard – Large Consortium
5. History
• 1998 - Bluetooth technology is officially introduced and the BLUETOOTH
• 1999 - Bluetooth 1.0 Specification is introduced.
• 2003 - The BLUETOOTH Version 2.1.
• 2004 - Bluetooth Version 2.0 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) is introduced.
• 2007 - Bluetooth Core Specification Version 2.1 + EDR is adopted by the
BLUETOOTH.
• 2009 - Bluetooth Core Specification Version 3.0 + HS (High Speed).
6. How it works?
• Short range wireless connectivity.
• Low power consumption
• Automatic recognition.

The Bluetooth network topology
Radio designation
Connected radios can be master or slave
Radios are symmetric (same radio can be
master or slave)
Piconet
Master can connect to 7 simultaneous.
Each piconet has maximum capacity (1
MSps)
Unique ID
Scatternet
Piconets can coexist in time and space
