    Bluetooth Protocol Stack

    Uploaded by

    Krishanu Modak
    The Bluetooth protocol stack can be divided into a core specification and profile specifications. The core specification describes the protocols from the physical layer to the data link control layer and management functions. It includes the radio, baseband, link manager protocol, L2CAP, and service discovery protocol. Profile specifications describe how Bluetooth adapts to applications. Common protocols used include RFCOMM, TCS BIN, HCI, TCP/IP, BNEP, AT commands, OBEX, and audio encoding.

    Bluetooth Protocol stack

    Fig: Bluetooth protocol stack

    1. As Fig shows, the Bluetooth specification already comprises many protocols and
    components.

    2. The Bluetooth protocol stack can be divided into a core specification


    (Bluetooth, 2001a), which describes the protocols from physical layer to the data
    link control together with management functions, and profile specifications
    (Bluetooth, 2001b). The latter describes many protocols and functions needed to
    adapt the wireless Bluetooth technology to legacy and new applications.
    3. The core protocols of Bluetooth comprise the following elements:

    Radio: Specification of the air interface, i.e., frequencies, modulation, and


    transmit power.

    Baseband: Description of basic connection establishment, packet formats, timing,


    and basic QoS parameters.

    Link manager protocol: Link set-up and management between devices including
    security functions and parameter negotiation.

    Logical link control and adaptation protocol(L2CAP): Adaptation of higher


    layers to the baseband (connectionless and connection-oriented services).

    Service discovery protocol: Device discovery in close proximity plus querying of


    service characteristics.

    4. On top of L2CAP is the cable replacement protocol RFCOMM that emulates a


    serial line interface following the EIA-232 (formerly RS-232) standards.
    RFCOMM supports multiple serial ports over a single physical channel.

    5. The telephony control protocol specification – binary (TCS BIN) describes a


    bit-oriented protocol that defines call control signaling for the establishment of
    voice and data calls between Bluetooth devices. It also describes mobility and
    group management functions.

    6. The host controller interface (HCI) between the baseband and L2CAP provides
    a command interface to the baseband controller and link manager, and access to
    the hardware status and control registers. The HCI can be seen as the hardware/
    software boundary.

    7. Many protocols have been adopted in the Bluetooth standard. Classical Internet
    applications can still use the standard TCP/IP stack running over PPP or use the
    more efficient Bluetooth network encapsulation protocol (BNEP).

    8. Telephony applications can use the AT modem commands as if they were using
    a standard modem. Calendar and business card objects (vCalen dar/ vCard) can be
    exchanged using the object exchange protocol (OBEX) as common with IrDA
    interfaces.
    9. A real difference to other protocol stacks is the support of audio . Audio
    applications may directly use the baseband layer after encoding the audio signals.
