Bluetooth technology was started in 1995 by Ericsson to create a wireless standard for data and voice transmission between devices. It uses short-range radio waves at 2.4 GHz and allows devices within 10 meters to connect and form a personal area network without needing line of sight. Over 2000 companies are now part of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group working on applications like wireless keyboards, headphones, home networking, and using Bluetooth in areas like healthcare, automotive, and sensor networks. Security is provided through encryption, authentication and frequency hopping to avoid interference between multiple Bluetooth devices.

Sunny Gupta 200201073 Why Bluetooth ? • It’s wireless. • It’s simple. • It’s inexpensive. • Open platform. • Provision for both voice and data. Development History • Project started in 1995 by Swedish telecommunications manufacturer LM Ericsson. • In 1998 major telecom companies formed Bluetooth SIG to develop interoperable, cross platform applications. • 2000+ members in SIG Development Center • Global headquarters in Bellevue, Washington, USA. • Major promoters companies include Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia and Toshiba. • SIG has several working groups working on various projects. Bluetooth vs. Infrared • Infrared is line of sight and one-to-one. • Its advantage – Low interference, reliable transfer. Technology Used • Radio Frequency at 2.45 GHz. • This is internationally agreed frequency for Bluetooth. • Very low signal power ( ~1mw ) • Operation range around 10m. • Omni directional signals and can pass through walls and briefcases. Working of Bluetooth • Auto conversation between Bluetooth enabled devices. • Formation of personal area network (PAN) or piconet. • Spread-spectrum frequency hopping. • Device works on 79 individual, random frequency within a designated range. • Transmitter changes 1600 frequencies/sec. • Data rate upto 1 Mbitsps. Typical Bluetooth Networks Working (cont…) • Inquire • Page • Establish a link using Link Manager Protocol • Discover services using SDP • Create a channel • Authenticate • Send and receive data Avoiding Interference • Many applications and devices work independently in same area without interference. • Low Power • Frequency Hopping • Software for correcting small errors. Present applications • Wireless keyboards, mouse, USB adapter, modems, pc cards. • File transfer. • Headsets, music players. • GPS receiver. • Data sharing. • Gaming. • Barcode scanner. Future applications • Home networking for convenient, safe and secure house. • Retail and Mobile e-Commerce. • Travel – Ticket less travel, Hotel industry • Medical – remote patient monitoring, wireless biometric data. Future applications (cont..) • Automotive Industry – activating garage doors, and home lighting and heating systems. • Bluetooth Messaging. Bluetooth Security • 3 modes of communication – Mode 1 or Insecure mode – Mode 2 is known as service-level enforced security – Mode 3 is known as link-level enforced security Bluetooth security (cont..) • Security is provided in three ways – pseudo-random frequency hopping – authentication – encryption. Bluetooth Security (cont..) • Security issues – Bluejacking – Bluebugging – Bluesnarfing – Cabir Worm Sensor Network and Bluetooth • Wide application of Bluetooth technology in Sensor Area Network (SAN) • Environment Monitoring, Agriculture, Security, Infrastructure health • Research for energy conservation in Bluetooth senor network
