Bluetooth Architecture

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology that allows devices to connect and exchange data within 10 meters of each other. A Bluetooth network, called a piconet, connects one master device and up to seven active slave devices. Multiple piconets can connect to form a scatternet, allowing inter-piconet communication. Bluetooth supports both data and voice transmission at rates up to 3 Mbps and is commonly used in applications like wireless headphones, printers, and file transfers between devices.

Bluetooth Architecture

What is Bluetooth
• Bluetooth is universal for short-range wireless voice and
data communication.
• It is a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) technology
and is used for exchanging data over smaller distances.
• This technology was invented by Ericson in 1994.
• It operates in the unlicensed, industrial, scientific, and
medical (ISM) band from 2.4 GHz to 2.485 GHz.
• Maximum devices that can be connected at the same time
are 7.
• Bluetooth ranges up to 10 meters. It provides data rates up
to 1 Mbps or 3 Mbps depending upon the version.
• Bluetooth simply follows the principle of
transmitting and receiving data using radio
waves.
• It can be paired with the other device which
has also Bluetooth but it should be within the
estimated communication range to connect.
• When two devices start to share data, they
form a network called piconet which can
further accommodate more than five devices.
Piconet and Scatternet
Piconet
• Piconet is a type of Bluetooth network that contains one primary
node called the master node and seven active secondary
nodes called slave nodes.
• we can say that there is a total of 8 active nodes which are
present at a distance of 10 meters.
• The communication between the primary and secondary nodes
can be one-to-one or one-to-many.
• Possible communication is only between the master and slave;
• Slave-slave communication is not possible.
• It also has 255 parked nodes, these are secondary nodes and
cannot take participation in communication unless it gets
converted to the active state.
Scatternet:

• It is formed by using various piconets.


• A slave that is present in one piconet can act as
master or we can say primary in another piconet.
• This kind of node can receive a message from a
master in one piconet and deliver the message to
its slave in the other piconet where it is acting as
a master.
• This type of node is referred to as a bridge node.
• A station cannot be mastered in two piconets.
Types of Bluetooth

• Various types of Bluetooth are available in the market nowadays.


• In-Car Headset: One can make calls from the car speaker system
without the use of mobile phones.
• Stereo Headset: To listen to music in car or in music players at
home.
• Webcam: One can link the camera with the help of Bluetooth
with their laptop or phone.
• Bluetooth-equipped Printer: The printer can be used when
connected via Bluetooth with mobile phone or laptop.
• Bluetooth Global Positioning System (GPS): To use GPS in cars,
one can connect their phone with car system via Bluetooth to
fetch the directions of the address.
Advantages
• It is a low-cost and easy-to-use device.
• It can also penetrate through walls.
• It creates an Ad-hoc connection immediately
without any wires.
• It is used for voice and data transfer.
Disadvantages
• It can be hacked and hence, less secure.
• It has a slow data transfer rate: of 3 Mbps.
• It has a small range: 10 meters.
• Bluetooth communication does not support
routing.
• The issues of handoffs have not been
addressed.
Applications
• It can be used in laptops, and in wireless PCs, printers.
• It can be used in wireless headsets, wireless PANs, and
LANs.
• It can connect a digital camera wirelessly to a mobile
phone.
• It can transfer data in terms of videos, songs,
photographs, or files from one cell phone to another
cell phone or computer.
• It is used in the sectors of Medical health care, sports
and fitness, Military.
