Headset Profile

Profile provides:
Both devices must provide capability to initiate connection & accept/terminate calls. Volume can be controlled from either device. Audio gateway can notify headset of an incoming call.

Bluetooth vs. IrD

Bluetooth

IrD
Point to point Intended for Data Communication Infrared, LOS communication

Point to Multipoint Data & Voice Easier Synchronization due to omni-directional

and no LOS
requirement

Can not penetrate solid objects

Both devices must be stationary, for synchronization Range 1 m

Devices can be mobile Range 10 m

Advantages of Bluetooth.
Relatively

inexpensive transceivers. Relatively low power required to transmit data. Short range. End-to-end encryption (128-bit). Does not have the line of sight problems associated with the competing infrared (IR) wireless data transferring protocols.
