Bluetooth was created in 1994 by Ericsson to provide a wireless alternative to RS-232 cables. It uses short-wavelength radio waves to exchange data over short distances between devices. The name Bluetooth is derived from the Danish King Harald Bluetooth who united Denmark and Norway in the 10th century. The Bluetooth logo represents the merging of the runic letters H and B to represent the connection between devices. Bluetooth allows devices within 30 feet to connect and exchange information without cables.

2.  Wireless technology
 Created by Ericsson in 1994, Bluetooth wireless
 technology was originally conceived as a wireless alternative to RS-232 data
cables
 Exchanges data over short distances(using short-wavelength UHF radio
waves in the ISM band from 2.4 to 2.485 GHz)from fixed and mobile devices,
and the building personal area networks(PANs).

3.  The word “Bluetooth” is derived from the surname of King Harald
Bluetooth – a 10th century Danish monarch who famously united
Denmark and Norway into one kingdom.
 The idea of this name was proposed in 1997 by Jim Kardach who
developed a system that would allow mobile phones to communicate
with computers.

4. LOGO
 The Bluetooth logo is influenced by the Nordic
runes similar to the modern Latin “H” (Haglazl) and
“B” (Berkanan). The combination of these two
letters embodies the connection that Bluetooth
establishes between two electronic devices
 The Bluetooth logo consists of two interconnected
letters drawn in white, and placed on a blue
background. The name of the technology, on the
other hand, is written in black color. The choice of
these three colors typifies the hassle free union,
strength and reliability the consumers experience
while using the Bluetooth technology.

5. History of Bluetooth
 In 1994 a group of engineers at Ericsson, a Swedish company, invented a
wireless communication technology, later called Bluetooth.
 In 1998, the original group of Promoter companies—Ericsson, Intel,
Nokia, Toshiba and IBM—came together to form the Bluetooth Special
Interest Group (SIG).

6. Fact
 King Harald's actual name was King Harald Batand. It is said he
was given the nickname "Bluetooth" because of his love of eating
teeth-staining blueberries.
 In 1994 a group of engineers at Ericsson, a Swedish company,
invented a wireless communication technology, later called
Bluetooth. In 1998, the original group of Promoter companies—
Ericsson, Intel, Nokia, Toshiba and IBM—came together to form
the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). Since no single
company owns the technology, the SIG member companies work
together to preserve, educate, and further Bluetooth technology as
a means to bring devices into the connected world.

7. Versions
Bluetooth v1.1
 Ratified as IEEE Standard 802.15.1–2002
 Many errors found in the 1.0B
specifications were fixed.
 Added possibility of non-encrypted
channels.
 Received Signal Strength Indicator
Bluetooth v1.2
Major enhancements include the following:
 Faster Connection and Discovery
 Adaptive frequency-hopping spread spectrum (AFH), which improves resistance to
radio frequency interference by avoiding the use of crowded frequencies in the
hopping sequence.
 Higher transmission speeds in practice, up to 721 kbit/s, than in v1.1.
 Extended Synchronous Connections (eSCO), which improve voice quality of audio
links by allowing retransmissions of corrupted packets, and may optionally increase
audio latency to provide better concurrent data transfer.
 Host Controller Interface (HCI) operation with three-wire UART.
 Ratified as IEEE Standard 802.15.1–2005
 Introduced Flow Control and Retransmission Modes for L2CAP.By Vishal Kanhaiya 7

8. Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR
 Bluetooth Core Specification Version 2.1 + EDR was adopted by the Bluetooth SIG on 26
July 2007.
 The headline feature of 2.1 is secure simple pairing (SSP): this improves the pairing
experience for Bluetooth devices, while increasing the use and strength of security. See
the section on Pairing below for more details.
 2.1 allows various other improvements, including "Extended inquiry response" (EIR),
which provides more information during the inquiry procedure to allow better filtering
of devices before connection; and sniff sub rating, which reduces the power
consumption in low-power mode.
Bluetooth Smart (v4.0 & 4.1)
 Cost-reduced single-mode chips, which enable highly integrated and compact devices,
feature a lightweight Link Layer providing ultra-low power idle mode operation, simple
device discovery, and reliable point-to-multipoint data transfer with advanced power-
save and secure encrypted connections at the lowest possible cost.
 General improvements in version 4.0 include the changes necessary to facilitate BLE
modes, as well the Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) and Security Manager (SM) services
with AES Encryption.
 Core Specification Addendum 2 was unveiled in December 2011; it contains
improvements to the audio Host Controller Interface and to the High Speed (802.11)
Protocol Adaptation Layer.
 Core Specification Addendum 3 revision 2 has an adoption date of July 24, 2012.
 Core Specification Addendum 4 has an adoption date of February 12, 2013.By Vishal Kanhaiya 8

9. Bluetooth v3.0+HS
 The v3.0 + HS enhancement to the Core Specification provides consumers with
powerful, wireless connections that are more robust and reliable than ever before.
Features include:
 Power Optimization - By using the high speed radio only when you need it, Bluetooth
high speed reduces power consumption, which means a longer battery life for your
devices.
 Improved Security - The Generic Alternate MAC/PHY in Bluetooth high speed enables
the radio to discover other high speed devices only when they are needed to transfer your
music, pictures or other data. Not only does this optimize power, but it also aids in the
security of the radios.
 Enhanced Power Control - Limited drop-outs are now a reality. The enhanced power
control of Bluetooth high speed makes power control faster and ensures limited drop-
outs, reducing consumer experience of impacts from power. Users are now less likely to
lose a headset connection—even when the phone is in a coat pocket or deep inside a
purse.
 Lower Latency Rates - Unicast Connectionless Data improves the customer experience
of speed by lowering latency rates, sending small amounts
of data more quickly.

12. Benefits of BluetoothTechnology
 Bluetooth is extremely easy for those who are not technologically savvy to
set up and use.
 Bluetooth technology is completely wireless. For instance the Bluetooth
headset -- it's a small ear bud that is linked to the user's phone through a
wireless connection.
 Bluetooth acts as a sort of universal translator, making it possible for a
cell phone to connect with a PDA to keep names and addresses updated,
or for a phone that receives email to connect to a printer that is also on
the Bluetooth network.
 With advancements that have been made, and the popularity of the
technology, Bluetooth is relatively inexpensive.
 Bluetooth technology uses primarily low power signals when it
broadcasts, mostly because the signal doesn't have to travel very far. It
uses relatively little power and won't drain batteries very quickly.
