Definition of Bluetooth.
Bluetooth is a short range and low power wireless technology originally developed for exchanging data over short distances from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area network(PAN).

History of Bluetooth
The word Bluetooth is taken from the 10th century Danish King Harlard, who unified Scandinavian people tribes into a single kingdom. Bluetooth was named because
Bluetooth technology was developed in Scandinavian. Bluetooth technology was able to unite different industries such as cell phone, computing and automotive markets.

The Bluetooth specification was first developed in 1994 by Ericsson Mobile Communication Ltd.
5 Companies (Ericsson, Nokia, Intel, Toshiba, & IMB) joined to form Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) in 1998. In 1999, first specification of Bluetooth i.e. Bluetooth 1.0 is released.

Characteristics of Bluetooth
Bluetooth stands for Short-range transmission of digital voice and data. Frequency Range: ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical Radio Bands) 2200MHz 2400 MHz including Guard bands. Bluetooth used a Radio Technology called Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum. The transmitted data is divided into packets and each packet is transmitted on one of the 79 designated Bluetooth channels. Each channel has a bandwidth of 1 MHz. Vanishes the need of chord and wire. Range of Connection : 10 m 100 m. Supports data rate of : 1Mb/s.

Characteristics of Bluetooth
There are three classes of Bluetooth devices.
Class 3 Radio: have range up to 1 meters or 3 feet. Class 2 Radio: most commonly found in mobile devices have range of 10 metes or 30 feet. Class 1 Radio: used primarily in Industrial use cases have range of 100 meters or 300 feet.

Working of Bluetooth
Uses short range of RF spectrum at 2.45 GHz. Uses quick frequency hoping packet switch Protocol. Transceiver has a unique 48 bit address. Uses IEEE 802 Standards. Bluetooth is a packet-based protocol with a master-slave structure. One master may communicate with up to 7 slaves in a piconet; one device is act like a master (sets frequency hoping behavior) and the others as slaves. Example: A conference room with many laptops wishing to communicate with each other. All devices share the master's clock. The devices can switch roles, by agreement, and the slave can become the master Several Bluetooth devices can form an AD-HOC Network called a PICONET.

Piconet
Piconet: Devices connected in an ADHOC fashion, that is, not requiring predefinition and planning, as with a standard network. Two to 8 devices can be networked into a piconet. It is a peer network, that is, once connected, each device has equal access to the others. However, one device is defined as master and others as slaves.

Working of Bluetooth
More than one PICONET is called SCATTERNET. Up to Eight devices are allowed in PICONET. Each PICONET is identified by a different frequency hopping structure. Connections can be made up to 10 meters or can be extended to 100 meters. Power consumption is 0.3 mA.

Security Features of Bluetooth

Bluejacking Funny type message sent to peoples Bluetooth enabled device without owner permission. Bluesnarfing Hackers gaining access to people Bluetooth enabled device mainly to made some harm. Allows hackers to send message, make phone calls etc. The hacker to be within 30 ft rage To avoid set your phone to non-discoverable mode Bluebugging Advanced level of hacking with technology use Hackers gaining access to people Bluetooth enabled device mainly to made some harm. Allows hackers to send message, make phone calls etc. Also 30 ft range

Bluetooth Architecture

The Bluetooth technology is divided into two specifications:

Core Specification -Deals with the lower layers of the architecture and describes how the technology works. Profile Specification Focuses on how to build interoperating devices using the core technology.

Advantages of Bluetooth
Bluetooth devices are wireless Bluetooth technology is inexpensive Bluetooth is automatic Share voice and data Low energy consumption Accessible from anywhere

Disadvantage of Bluetooth
Low data rate. Short range. Low security. Interference with other devices.

Applications of Bluetooth
Laptops Cellular phones Personal digital assistants Headsets Printers Car GPS etc

Future of Bluetooth
Radio2 Working Group
Working to overcome bandwidth, interference, and connection setup issues while remaining compatible with current radio

Other Working Groups

Audio/Video, Car, Co-existence, ISDN, Local Positioning, Personal Area Networking, Printing

Study Groups
Industrial Automation

Conclusion
A new global standard for data and voice Eliminates Cables . Low Power, Low range, Low Cost network devices. Bluetooth seems to have a bright future after reviewing its benefits and wide use. Further improvements are planned to be made in
Data Rates Power Reduction
