Welcome to the “Bluetooth Basics” module presented by Agilent Technologies. We believe you find this presentation
useful as an introduction to a technology that is quickly gaining acceptance world wide.
Bluetooth Basics
Bluetooth technology eliminates the need for cable connections and facilitates fast and secure transmission of voice
and data between enabled devices. There is unprecedented market interest in this technology and its applications.
It’s an evolving uniform standard for wireless connectivity and interoperability that’s already supported by a great deal
of documentation, but there are still many integration and test issues yet to be resolved. In this module you’ll learn
about the basics of how Bluetooth works, its potential applications, and discuss the current expectations for
implementation and market acceptance.

Agenda
In this module, we’ll look at what’s creating the need for Bluetooth technology, where it’ll be used, more on the
standard itself.
We’ll start the presentation with an overview of the market and discuss the factors that are driving the acceptance of
this technology and the growth its market.
Current and potential applications will be presented and described.
The major elements of the Bluetooth Standard reviewed along with the qualification process.
The implementation of the technology is given and we finish with a comparison of competing technologies
The cabling and configuration required to have these all talking to each other is not insubstantial, and furthermore,
inconvenient if you want to change your configuration or have them talk to devices in both home and office (moving
cables, installing software etc.)
Enter Bluetooth. Add a small unobtrusive and (soon to be) inexpensive module & antenna to each one, and you have
an instant connection to all other Bluetooth devices (that you choose to be connected with) within the designated
boundary.

Note:
This Agenda is shown only at this point in the presentation. There is no delineation between topics within the
presentation. The Technology Implementation section has its own sub-agenda.

D Add premium features
Applications that are likely to benefit from the integration of Bluetooth are cell phones, PDA’s, digital cordless phones,
digital cameras, adapters, PC Cards, dongles, headsets, PCs, printers and faxes, and so on. It is predicted that over
1.5 Billion Bluetooth-enabled devices will be in use by 2005!
We utilize a compliment of handheld/mobile devices that each need to be able to connect to at least one other device
in order to utilize their full functionality.
One of the first applications developed are Bluetooth headsets for use with, among other things, mobile phones.
Ericsson and Nokia are two leading proponents of integrating Bluetooth technology into their 3G mobile phone
products. Nearly all of the world’s mobile phone manufacturers are Bluetooth adopters. This technology is a
significant and perhaps essential element of their 3G development and marketing plans.
Bluetooth will allow completely new combinations of innovative products and allow new premium features to be added
to mobile phones.

Even desktop PCs will benefit from being able to “talk” to peripheral devices such as a digital camera, printer, mouse,
or modem.
A notebook PC can synchronize appointments with the PDA, back up its files on a shared zip drive.
A phone would be able to automatically dial phone numbers stored on either the PDA or Notebook.
The infrared organization is working with the Bluetooth S.I.G., so that Bluetooth learns some lessons, but also IR will
benefit from improvements in Software support / ease of use.

This shows the number of units that COULD use Bluetooth as an interface. You may need to study a printed slide to
see all the detail.
Bluetooth technology is not necessarily a good fit for Wireless LAN, because it has limited bandwidth & is basically not
meant for situations with multiple “masters” calling some other device.
It doesn’t have to be Bluetooth OR some other wireless data technology. If price is right, may well get more than one.
Of course, there will still be several ways to solve connection problems. Cables, infrared and memory sticks aren’t
going away overnight.
As noted in a previous slide, the utility of a desktop PC will be enhanced with the addition of Bluetooth. This will either
be as an interface to portable devices, or as a convenience to reduce wiring to peripherals.
We expect two-thirds of the Bluetooth market to be outside the mobile phone. Either this is for things the phone talks
to, or simply other devices making use of a low cost cordless link.

7Example Bluetooth Module
[CSR September 2000]
This is a picture of the Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR) solution. Little extra is required to turn it into a wireless
headset or some other target application.
Further integrated solutions are in work and will shortly allow the entire radio to reside on a single chip [except for
perhaps the crystal and the battery!].

9Promoters, Associates & Adopters
Promoters are a group of large companies driving the technology into the
market :
Ericsson Nokia Toshiba
Intel IBM 3Com
Lucent Motorola Microsoft
• Over 2000 companies have become adopters of the technology
• Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG)
• Associate membership
A Special Interest Group [SIG] has been formed to advance the acceptance of Bluetooth. It is commercially backed
[not government, like ETSI]; largely by the companies above that are referred to as the Promoters of Bluetooth. They
are in charge of the development of specifications, as well as their own products.
As well as promoters there are companies called the adopters. Currently there are over 2000 companies that bear no
financial responsibility but have pledged to adhere to the standard when developing Bluetooth products.
Another category of membership that lies between the previous two is that of Associate. Associates bear a portion of
the financial support required by the SIG, in turn they participate in the development of the standard and the
associated profiles.
The wide range of interests these companies have, means there are some conflicting priorities. An example is the
proposal before the US FCC for a 1 watt specification as part of 802.11. The Bluetooth SIG are finding it difficult to
give a united response, because some members will find this useful. This is despite the fact Bluetooth itself will suffer
more interference.

The Standard
Has two parts:
• Core
• Profiles
Currently at Version 1.0b.
Version 1.1 imminent.
Version 1.1 corrects errata - not
backwards compatible with
1.0b.
Main effort now in profiles.

Ericsson hold the rights to use the Bluetooth name & logo. They will not allow other organizations to use it unless
equipment has been through this qualification process.
“Interoperability”, devices working together properly, is what will make Bluetooth really succeed. This involved process
is one way the SIG is trying to build interoperability into the system.
Adherence to the qualification process will be about half the battle to get Bluetooth widely accepted. The rest will be
down to market acceptance that in turn will drive the engineering investment. This is similar to the way the computer
software market works.
Alongside the formal process shown here, the SIG are organizing “unplugfests”. Companies with devices to test can
go to these large technical meetings and find out how well their product works with everyone else’s products.

Quality Of Service
Here we have an overview of the complete Bluetooth protocol stack. Two distinct types of connection between
devices are supported: synchronously using the audio layer, and asynchronously going through the data layer.
Bluetooth actually supports data and voice simultaneously.
The application layer has access to TCP/IP for web browsing/ftp etc. The obvious use here is surfing the internet
from your PDA or Notebook. The RFCOMM layer, for serial port emulation, would be used to connect devices not
equipped with Bluetooth, but have a serial connection.
A synchronous link connected directly to the baseband processing layer is used for voice transmission.
Data are transmitted on asynchronous links and are managed though the L2CAP (Logical Link Control and Adaption
Protocol). The link manager protocol (LMP) applies flow control, packet assembly and multiplexing services.
At the lower levels, the baseband layer forms the basic modulating signal and the RF layer provides the physical
transport mechanism for the modulated signal.

A Bluetooth system requires these basic blocks, but there are many different ways to implement it. Application
Software lies beyond the the Host processor, depending on the Profile(s) supported.
Both CMOS and SiGe are being used for the radio itself. Performance, power and die size being the variables that get
traded.
The Baseband is typically being quoted as taking 70,000 gates.

Profiles
A profile defines what is needed at the Host level to support particular applications. Profiles have their own part of the
specification, that runs to more than 400 pages.
GAP (generic access) and SDAP (Service Discovery) are common parts to many if not all of the other profiles. It turns
out that these were defined later than some of the others after the SIG working groups realized there were common
elements within the application profiles.

Inquire - Ask about radios to connect to. Inquirer transmits two short [68us] packets twice in one 625us period. The
listener, listens every 1.28 seconds
Page - Connect to a specific radio. Similar to Inquiry, but paged device’s address is sent, which reduces the time to
connect, to around 2.5 seconds.
Connected - Actively on a piconet (master or slave)
[ Bluetooth defines four Connected modes: Active, Sniff, Hold and Park. These allow dynamically settable alternatives
in responsiveness to the Master and power consumption. Park is the lowest power. ]
Park/Hold - Low Power connected states
Bluetooth also defines a Test Mode that allows the Test Set to control the DUT. [ e.g. turn off frequency hopping ]

Radio Parameter Overview
Bluetooth devices operate in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific & Medical) band, on 79 channels from 2.402GHz to
2.479GHz. They communicate with each other using a digital frequency modulation method known as 0.5 GFSK. This
means that a carrier is shifted up nominally 157kHz to represent a ‘1’ or down to represent a ‘0’, at a rate of 1 million
symbols (or bits) per second. The ‘0.5’ (Bandwidth Time) sets the -3dB bandwidth of the data filter to 500kHz. This is
used to limit the RF spectrum occupied.
Data rate (including protocol overhead) is around 700 kbps/sec
Communication between two devices is Time Division Duplexed, meaning that the transmitter and receiver alternate
their transmissions in separate timeslots, one after the other. In addition, a very fast frequency hopping scheme (up to
1600 hops/sec) is employed to aid the reliability of the link in what is likely to be a crowded band. Recent U.S. FCC
rulings indicate the band use is only going to increase.
Did you know: Microwave Ovens operate in this frequency band, but only use one half of the the line cycle
Several suppliers looking to offer 20dB better Rx sensitivity for non-interference limited applications

• Peak deviation +/- 157.5 kHz (nominal)
• 1 Million bits/sec
• Modulation index = 0.28 - 0.35
• ‘1010’ deviation approx. 88% of max due to 0.5 BT Filter
• 500 kHz rate of modulation (2 bits per cycle)
The Carrier Wave (CW) is modulated by shifting it up 157.5 KHz to represent a ‘1’ or down 157.5 KHz to represent a
‘0’, all at a rate of 1million bits per second.
The 0.5 BT Guassian filter is used to limit spectral spread, thus allowing a 1 MHz channel spacing. The effect of this is
that higher frequency bit patterns I.e. ‘1010’ experience less deviation than long trains of 1’s or 0’s.
Note that although we get 1 million bits/sec, the fundamental rate of modulation is actually only 500 KHz because we
get 2 bits per cycle.
