Is Bluetooth here to stay?
What should we expect from
Bluetooth in the future?

What Bluetooth Delivers to

the end-user
Connects a wide range of computing
and telecommunication devices

Expand communication capabilities

Devices can communicate with each
other with wireless connectivity

User Application

Bluetooth Specifications
Things that you must have:
Transceivers and Receivers that can send and
receive data because they use Radio
Waves.
MAC Address (Physical Address)
Burnt on the NIC card by the manufacturer.
PIN Number
To identify the user using the device.
A Piconet
A FHHS protocol

What is a Piconet?
A Piconet session is a communication
link that must be created between
devices for devices to communicate
with each other.

This is done when the MAC address

and the PIN number match.

Piconet (cont.)
If two devices come onto contact with each other( 32
feet) the user will be prompted to initiate a
communication session

Users then can either deny or accept the request to

initiate a session

Only devices approved by the user can take part in the

session

Data will appear as noise to unauthorized devices

great security feature).

(A

FHHS
Bluetooth devices use a protocol called (FHHS) FrequencyHopping Spread Spectrum .

Uses packet-switching to send data.

Bluetooth sends packets of data on a range of frequencies.
In each session one device is a master and the others are
slaves.

The master device decides at which frequency data will

travel.

FHHS
Transceivers hop among 79 different

frequencies in the 2.4 GHz baud at a rate of

1600 frequency hops per second.

The master device tells the slaves at what

frequency data will be sent.

This technique allows devices to

communicate with each other more securely.
