Transmitting Data Between Two
Different Electronic Devices
Can you transmit data between two
Infrared capable devices even though
they are manufacture by different
companies?
Example

Advantages and Disadvantages
of Infrared
Advantages Disadvantages
Point-to-point Line of sight
Line of sight One device at a time
Transfer data up to 1m Transfer rate 4Mbps
Security Have to keep the
Low power device stable when
consumption transferring data
Low cost

Bluetooth
TheBluetooth special interest Group
founded by Ericsson, IBM, Intel,
Nokia, and Toshiba in 1998. It was
created to develop an open
specification for short-range wireless
connectivity between laptops,
computers, cellular telephones and
other electronic devices.

Basics of Bluetooth
Short range Radio Frequency at 2.4 GHz
Point-to-point or point-to-multiple points

Voice and Data

Transmit through walls up to 10m

Supports both synchronous and


asynchronous services

11
Basic Structure of Bluetooth
Architecture [5]
Radio

Baseband/link controller
Link manager
Application-level software

Challenges with Bluetooth
Communication
Many devices already uses the 2.5GHz
radio frequency band
Send a weak signal of 1mW so that
signals can travel a distance of 10m
Spread-Spectrum Frequency Hopping

Avoiding Interference
