Bluetooth technology is a wireless communication protocol that connects electronic devices when they are close to each other and intends to replace the cables connecting various types of devices, from mobile phones and headset. Here you can learn more in detail about Bluetooth technology.

Bluetooth Technology
Bluetooth is a new technology standard using short-range radio links, intended
to replace the cable connecting portable and fixed electronic devices.
The standard defines as a uniform structure for a range of devices to
communicate with each other.
Introduction
3. Bluetooth Architecture
http://www.edgefxkits.com/
Bluetooth communication occurs between a master radio and a slave radio.
Each radio has a 48-bit unique device address (BD_ADDR) that is fixed.
Two or more radio devices together form ad-hoc networks called piconets.
Each piconet has one master device and one or more slaves

Multiple piconets with overlapping coverage areas form a scatternet.
Each piconet may have only one master, but slaves may participate in different piconets
on a time-division multiplex basis.
A device may be a master in one piconet and a slave in another or a slave in more than
one piconet.

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG)has developed the Bluetooth Protocol
Stack.
The main objective of these specifications is to set down the protocols that must be
followed by companies when manufacturing and developing both software and
hardware to interoperate with each other.
The main principle in mind when developing the Bluetooth Protocol Architecture has
been the maximization and the re-use of existing protocols for different purposes at
the higher layers.
The Bluetooth Protocol Architecture also allows for the use of commonly used
application protocols on top of the Bluetooth-Specific protocols.

The Bluetooth Core protocols (plus the Bluetooth radio) are required by most of
Bluetooth devices while the rest of the protocols are used only as needed.
The combination of the Cable Replacement layer, the Telephony Control layer and
the adopted protocol layer form the application-oriented protocols which enable
applications to run over the Bluetooth Core protocols.
Bluetooth Protocol Architecture has been developed by the Bluetooth Special
Interest Group (SIG) are intended for rapidly developing applications using
Bluetooth technology.

The baseband (single channel per line) protocol combines circuit and packet
switching.
To assure that packets do not arrive out of order, slots (up to five) can be reserved
for synchronous packets.
Circuit switching can be either asynchronous or synchronous. Up to three
synchronous (voice) data channels, or one synchronous and one asynchronous data
channel, can be supported on one channel.
Each synchronous channel can support a 64 Kb/s transfer rate, which is fully
adequate for voice transmissions.

Bluetooth Technology
No line of site restrictions as with IrDA.
power consumption makes integrated in battery powered devices very practical.
2.4 GHz radio frequency ensures worldwide operability.
Tremendous momentum not only within the computer industry but other industries
like cellular telephones and transportation

The Internet Bridge :
An extension of this model could be a mobile computer that allows surfing the Internet
irrespective of the location of the user, and regardless of whether the user is cordlessly
connected through a mobile phone (cellular) or through a wire line connection (e.g.
PSTN, ISDN, LAN, xDSL).
