Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows devices within a short range to connect and exchange information without wires. It was developed in 1994 and released in 1999. Bluetooth works by creating a personal area network where devices within 10-100 meters can connect and communicate using radio waves. It has advantages like replacing cables, worldwide compatibility, and connecting multiple devices simultaneously. Future improvements may optimize resource usage and reduce power consumption.

What’s BT..??
 Bluetooth is a wireless technology that enables any electrical device to wirelessly
communicate in the 2.5 GHz ISM (license free) frequency band.

 It allows devices such as mobile phones, headsets, PDA's and portable computers
to communicate without the need for wires or cables to link to devices together.

Why this name?
 Bluetooth was named after
Harald Blatand (or
Bluetooth), a tenth century
Danish Viking king who
had controlled large parts
of Scandinavia.  
 The name was chosen to
highlight the potential of the
technology to unify the
telecommunication.
Overview of Bluetooth History
 What is Bluetooth?
– Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications
technology.
 When does it appear?
– 1994 – Ericsson study on a wireless technology to link
mobile phones & accessories.
– 5 companies joined to form the Bluetooth Special
Interest Group (SIG) in 1998.
– First specification released in July 1999.
Timeline
 1994 : Ericsson study complete / vision
 1995 : Engineering work begins
 1997 : Intel agrees to collaborate
 1998 : Bluetooth SIG formed: Ericsson, Intel, IBM, Nokia &
Toshiba
 1999 : Bluetooth Specification 1.0A
 SIG promoter group expanded: 3Com, Lucent,
Microsoft & Motorola
 2000 : Bluetooth Specification 1.0B, 2000+ adopters
 2001 : First retail products released, Specification 1.1
 2003 : Bluetooth Specification 1.2
 2005 : Bluetooth Specification 2.0 (?)
Special Interest Group
Need of Bluetooth
 When any two devices need to talk to each other, they have to agree on
a number of points before the conversation can begin. Will they talk
over wires, or through some form of wireless signals?

 How much data will be sent at a time?

 How will they speak to each other?

Bluetooth offers a solution to the problem.


Working
 Bluetooth is essentially a networking standard that works at two
levels:

-It provides agreement at the physical level -- Bluetooth is a


radio-frequency standard.
-It provides agreement at the protocol level, where products
have to agree on when bits are sent, how many will be sent at a
time.
-Bluetooth networking transmits data via low-power radio
waves. It communicates on a frequency of 2.45 gigahertz.
Contd..
 Bluetooth systems create a personal-area network
(PAN), or piconet.
 The cordless telephone has one Bluetooth transmitter
in the base and another in the handset. The
manufacturer has programmed each unit with an
address that falls into a range of addresses it has
established for a particular type of device. When the
base is first turned on, it sends radio signals asking
for a response from any units with an address in a
particular range. Since the handset has an address in
the range, it responds, and a tiny network is formed.
Advantages
 Replacement of cable
 Short-Range Wireless Solutions
 Voice and Data Capability
 Worldwide Usability
 Real-time data transfer usually
possible between 10-100m.
 Inexpensive & Automatic
 Connect up to eight devices
without mixing of the signals
 Bluetooth headsets
 Uses low power signals
 Requires no “LINE OF SIGHT”
Limitations
 Range is limited
 Requires Bluetooth enabled phones, PC’s, or an
external hardware known as Bluetooth USB
DONGLE.
 Device can be hacked using various software.
(BLUEBUGGING)
 Blue jacking
 Car Whisperer
Core Bluetooth Products
 Notebook PCs & Desktop computers  CD Player
 Printers  TV/VCR/DVD
 PDAs  Access Points
 Other handheld devices  Telephone Answering
 Cell phones Devices
 Wireless peripherals:  Cordless Phones
 Headsets  Cars
 Cameras
Security
 Security Measures
-Link Level Encryption & Authentication.
-Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) for device
access.
-Service-level security and device-level security
work together to protect Bluetooth devices from
unauthorized data transmission.
Future of Bluetooth
 Success of Bluetooth depends on how well it is integrated into
consumer products
 Consumers are more interested in applications than the
technology
 Bluetooth must be successfully integrated into consumer
products
 Must provide benefits for consumer
 Key Success Factors
 Interoperability
 Mass Production at Low Cost
 Ease of Use
 End User Experience
Summary
 A new global standard for data and voice
 Eliminate Cables
 Low Power, Low range, Low Cost network devices
 Future Improvements
 Master-Slave relationship can be adjusted
dynamically for optimal resource allocation
and utilization.
 Adaptive, closed loop transmit power control
can be implemented to further reduce
unnecessary power usage.
