`M y work with the Bluetooth wireless technology , which began long
`before it became Bluetooth, has been a privilege and an extremely
`rewarding expe1-ience . In 1997, when a few major players in the tele-
`communications and portable computing
`industries engaged in some
`initial discussions, no one could even dream of the unprecedented
`suc-
`cess the program was to enjoy a few years down the road. We all knew
`that there was a great need for a low-power, low-cost, short-range cable
`replacem ent, but from there to tl1e overwhelmingly favorable industr y
`and media response was a quantum leap.
`The Bluetooth SIG managed from the beginning to focus on con-
`sumer requirements rather than just designing the technicall y best possi-
`ble radio. A zero -cost license , good marketing (of course ) and a bit of
`luck with the timing are al\vays useful, too, when you want to establish a
`worldwide de facto standard.
`Prediction s from many independent sow·ces, such as Frost & Sulli-
`van, Cahners In-Stat, Merrill Lynch and man y other research institute s,
`indicate that indeed the Bluetooth wireless technology will become a
`smashing succe ss, with as many as 1.5 billion or more devices being
`equipped with Bluetooth wirele ss technology in the year 2005.
`With tens of tl1ousands of engineers around the world working on
`implementations and perhaps even hundred s of thousand s of other peo-
`ple such as students and professionals becoming interested in this tech-
`nology , it is easy to understand
`the need for the publication you have in
`your hand s.

`Pre ace
`
`T he convergence of computing and communications has been pre-
`dicted for many years. Today's explosion of a myriad of new types of
`per sonal computing and communications devices-notebook computers,
`personal digital assistants, ''smart'' phones, two-way pagers, digital cam-
`eras and so on- has resulted in new ways for people to communicate and
`gain access to data . The advent of this pervasive computing, especially
`via wireless communications, enables these devices to be used in new
`settings: not only can people make voice calls from their automobile
`using a mobile phone, but also they can access the World Wide Web
`from a wireless notebook or handheld computer while at the airport or a
`shopping mall. We are rapidly moving· toward a world where computing
`and communications become ubiquitous - not only at work but also in
`the home, in public places and in personal surroundings.
`Unti l recently, enabling all of these devices to communicate with
`each other has been cumbersome, often involving the use of special
`cables to connect the devices together along with device-specific soft-
`wa1·e that might use proprietary protocols. To exchange
`information
`among all of her personal devices, a person might need to carry as
`many cables as devices and still lack assurance that all the devices could
`interconnect. The inability to share information among devices or the
`difficulty in doing so limits their usefulness.
`The Blztetooth™ technology enables devices to communicate seam-
`lessly without wires. While Bluetooth wireless communication
`is fi1·st
`and foremost a means for cable replacement,
`it also enables many new
`applications-the
`use of a single mobile telephone as a cellular phone,

`We already knew that developing the Bluetooth technology was a tre-
`mendou s und ertaking , and we now have discovered that writing a book
`is a lot of work. Tl1e fun part is being able to include a short list of people
`who support ed, encouraged or otherwise aided in the developm ent of
`this book or of the Bluetooth technology that makes this book relevant.
`At the risk of omitting those who deserve menti on, both authors
`acknowledge all of the member s of the Blueto oth SIG who worked pas-
`sionately and. tirelessly as a team to mak e the technology possible, espe-
`cially our Air and Software Working Group colleagues who made a
`majo1· difference: Jon Inouye of Intel ; Thoma s Muller , Stephane Bouet
`and Riku Mettala of Nokia; Johanne s Elg, J aap Haart sen and Tobias
`Melin of Ericsson; Dale Farnsworth of Motorola; Shaun Astarabadi of
`1oshiba ; Paul Moran and Ned Plasson of 3Com; and most of all our
`IBM colleague s around the globe who worked to advance the Blue-
`tooth technology, 1nost notabl y our teammates Peter Lee, Mahmoud
`Naghshineh, Nathan Lee, Parviz Kerrnani, Brian Gauch er and Toru
`Aihara and fo1·1T1er IBM colleague Pravin Bhagwat. We are also
`indebted to Bouet , Elg and Aihara -san, along with Gabriel Montenegro
`of Sun Microsyste ms, for their exemplary and valuable technical review
`of the book. We also acknowledg e Mary Franz and her team at Prentice
`Hall PTR, whose suppor t, experti se and respon sivene ss made it possi-
`ble to carry out this proj ect.
`Brent Mille1· thanks Sandeep Sing·hal for his experienced author
`advice ; his co-author Chat schik Bisdikian, who wrote all the hard parts ;
`his wife Laurie and sons Benjamin and And1·ew for thei1· encourage -
`ment and support ; and God who make s this and all things possible.
`Dr. Chat schik Bisdikian thanks co-author Brent for inviting him to
`contribute to this project and patiently rewriting in plain English what
`he wrote; his manager Mahmoud Naghshineh
`for encouraging him
`(rather strongly and per sistently) to get involved with the Bluetooth
`wireless technolo gy from the outset; and last but not least his ,vife Ter-
`esa and sons Eugene and Theodore for their unconditional encourage -
`ment and support through long nights and weekends of working on this
`proj ect.

`-U-he term Bluetoothr"' 1 refers to an open specification for a technology
`to enable short-range wirele ss voice and data communications
`any-
`where in the world. This simple and straightforward description of the
`Bluetooth technology 2 includes several points that are key to its under -
`standing:
`Open specification: The Bluetooth Special Inte1·est G1·oup (SIG )
`has produced a specification for Bluetooth wireless communication
`that is publicly available and royalty free. To help foster widespread
`acceptance of the technology, a truly open specification has been a
`fundamental objective of the SIG since its formation.
`Short-range wireless: The1·e are many instances of short-range
`digital communication
`among
`computing
`and communications
`devices; today much of that communication
`takes place over cables.
`These cables connect to a multitude of devices using a wide variety of
`connectors with many combinations of shapes, sizes and number of
`pins; this plethora of cables can become quite burdensome
`to users .
`With Bluetooth tecl1nology, these devices can communicate without
`wires over a single air-interface, using radio waves to transmit and
`receive data. Bluetooth wireless technology
`is specifically desigr1ed
`for short -range (nominally 10 ft)_eters) communications; one result of

`WHAT IS BLUETOOTH?
`
`this design is very lo\v powe1· consumptio11, 1naking tl1e technology
`well suited for use with small, portabl e pe1·sonal devices that typically
`a.re powered by batt e1ies.
`Voice and data: T1·aditional lines bet:vveen computing and commu-
`nications environments are continually becoming less distinct. Voice is
`now commonly transmitted and stored in digital fo1·1nats. Voice appli -
`ances such as mobile telephones a1·e also used for data app lications
`such as info11r1ation access or browsing. Through voice recognition ,
`computers can be cont1·olled by voice, and through voice synth esis,
`computers can produce audio output in addition to visual output.
`Some wireless communication
`technologie s ai·e designed to can·y only
`voice while others handle only data traffic. Bluetooth wireless commu -
`nication make s provi sions for both voice and data, and thus .it is an
`ideal technology for unif)ring these worlds by enabling all sorts of
`de,rices to communicat e using either 01· both of these content type s.
`in the world: The
`Anywhere
`telecommunication s indu stry is
`highly regulated in man y part s of the world. Telephon e system s, for
`example, must comply "vith man y gove rnm ental 1·estriction s, and
`telephony standards vary by country. Man y forn1s of wireless com -
`munications are also regulated ; radio frequenc y spectrum usage often
`requires a license with strict tran smission power obligations. How-
`ever, some portions of the available radio frequency spectrum may
`be used without
`license , and Blueto oth wireless comm uni cations
`operate within a chosen
`frequency spectrum
`tl1at is unlicen sed
`throughout
`the world (with certain limitation s and restri ctions tha.t
`are discussed later in the book ). Thu s devices that employ Bluet oot h
`wireless communication can be used unmodified , no mat ter whe1·e a
`person might be.
`
`The Bluetooth short-range wirele ss technology is ideall y suited for
`replacing
`the many cables that are associated with today 's pervasive
`devices. The Bluetooth specification ([BTSIG99] , hereafter referred
`to
`as the specification ) explicitly defines a mean s for wireless transports
`to
`replace serial cables, such as those used with modems, digital cameras
`and personal digital assistants; the technology could also be used to
`replace other cables, such as those associated with computer peripherals
`(including printers, scanners, keyboards, mice and others ). Moreover ,
`wireless connectivity among a plethora of fixed and mobile devices can
`enable many other new and exciting usage scenarios beyond simple

`cable replac ement . In this book we exp lore various applications of the
`technology.
`Important characteristics and app lications of Bluetooth wireless
`communications are examined
`in detail in this book. The Bluetooth
`specification is explained in easy-to-understand
`terms with the benefit
`of tl1e authors' experiences gained while parti cipating in its develop-
`ment . If Bluetoot h wireless tecl1nology succeed s in the marketpla ce to
`the extent predicted by many anal ysts, it I1as the potential to change
`people's lives and the way that peopl e think about and inte1·act with
`comp uting and communication devices . Understanding
`this emerging
`techno logy can benefit not only industry professionals but also consum-
`ers who can use and obtain value from it.
`
`The Bluetooth Special Interest Group
`is embodied as
`As described above, Bluetoot h wireless communication
`a technology specification . This specificat ion is a result of the coopera-
`tion of many companies within an organization called the Bluetooth Spe-
`cial Interest Group, or SIG. There is no ''Bluetooth headquarters'' nor is
`there any ''Bluetoo th corpo1·ation '' nor any sort of legally incorporated
`entity. The SIG is governed by lega l agr·eements among the member·
`parties but it is not a company unto
`itself. The SIG should not be con-
`strued as a fo1·mal standard s bod y; rather it is an organizatio11 chartered
`to define and promote the technology.
`In fulfilling this charter the SIG
`is dependent upon the contribu tion s a.nd participation of its member
`companies. Clear·ly a major task of the SIG has been to develop
`the
`specification, but other SIG activities include joint wo1·k with other con-
`sortia and standard s and regulatory bodie s, educational and promo -
`tional events such as dev eloper·s conferences
`and the definition of a
`testing and certification pr ocess.
`Technology and SIG Origins
`Bluetooth wireless technology was conceived by engineers at Swedish
`telecommunications ma11ufacturer Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson
