WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
NETWORK TOPOLOGY
The Bluetooth system supports both point to point and point to multipoint connections.
PICONETS: Bluetooth radios connect to each other in piconets, which are formed by a
master radio simultaneously connecting up to seven active slave radios [3 bit address]
in an Ad-hoc manner. There can be up to 256-parked slaves [8 bit address], which like
the active members are synchronized to the master clock. Each piconet has a unique
hopping sequence.. In forming a piconet, the master radio shares its Global ID with the
other radios, which then become slaves and provide all the radios with the correct
hopping pattern.
WORKING OF BLUETOOTH:
Basically, Bluetooth is the term used to describe the protocol of a short
range (10 meter) frequency-hopping radio link between devices. These devices
on Bluetooth is divided into two sections, the Bluetooth Specification and Bluetooth
Profiles.
The Specification describes how the technology works (i.e. the Bluetooth
protocol architecture),
The Profiles describe how the technology is used (i.e. how different parts of the
ARCHITECTURE:
Operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM (Industrial-Scientific-Medical) band available all over the
from microwave ovens, baby monitors, cordless phones, or wireless LANs also operating
in the same frequency band. Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) scheme is
logic while the Bluetooth software layers sits on top of this to manage the logical linkage
and flow of data (Fig. 4).The Link Controller (LC) performs baseband processing and
manages the various states of connection and the lowestlevel of services for applications
to build upon, collectively known as Profiles. The LinkManagement (LM) layer is
responsible for most of the connection management. Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) is
a tool that informs upper layer applications of available services and their characteristics.

SPECIFICATIONS
Data / Voice support One asynchronous data channel (732.2 kbps and
channels.
Piconet 1 master and 7 slaves
ADVANTAGES
The 2.45 GHz ensures universal compatibility. Also complies with airline
regulations
Very Robust as the radio hops faster and uses shorter packets
DISADVANTAGES
Few analog or FH cordless phones have designed to operate at the 2.4GHz band.
APPLICATIONS
IrDA, Home RF, and IEEE 802.11 all compete in the same short-range wireless space.
Fortunately, none of the technologies can match Bluetooth’s balanced offer of high
performance and low cost. Also operating in the 2.4 GHz space as IEEE 802.11 and
Bluetooth, however HomeRF has not received the same industry backings, and there are
CONCLUSION
Bluetooth technology is a short-range wireless specification aimed at simplifying
communications among Internet devices and between devices and the Internet. In
conclusion it can be said that Bluetooth refers not only to a technology but also to a
standard and a specification. The take off that Bluetooth has taken is remarkable,
capturing the attention and money of major corporations throughout the world. If it can
live up to its expectations and satiate the needs of a global market in an easy and
inexpensive way , it promises to become a uniting force in the wireless world and endow
