 Documentation

Specification describes Profiles describe how

how the technology works,
i.e., the Bluetooth protocol
architecture.
the technology is used, i.e.,
how different parts of the
specification can be used
to fulfill a desired function
for a Bluetooth device.
Bluetooth Specification Protocol Stack
Bluetooth Profile Structure
 Radio Specification
PDU format:
 The Bluetooth system is operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM
(Industrial Scientific Medicine) band. The regulatory range of
this frequency band is 2.400 – 2.4835 GHz.
 The Bluetooth radio accomplishes spectrum spreading by in 79
hops displaced by 1 MHz.
 Radio modulation uses GFSK.

Operating frequency bands:

0 1 2 78

2.402 GHz 2.480 GHz

 Baseband Specification

There is one master

and one or more
slaves in each piconet

Packet format:
 Service Discovery Protocol Specification

Protocol Data Unit format:

 PDU ID: identifies the type of PDU
 Transaction ID: uniquely identifies request PDUs and is used to
match response PDUs to request PDUs
 Parameter Length
Bluetooth Design and Development Tools

 Design tools:
tools RF and digital design tools,
simulators, and other tools

 Development tools:
tools including modules, chipsets,
RA and digital kits, protocol implementations and
other tools

 Testing/evaluation tools
 Key Features
