Composed of protocols to allow Bluetooth devices to locate each other and to create, configure and manage both physical and logical links that allow higher layer protocols and applications to pass data through these transport protocols Bluetooth Radio Specification Applications IP SDP RFCOMM Control Data Audio L2CAP Link Manager Baseband RF • Radio Frequency (RF) • Sending and receiving modulated bit streams • Baseband • Defines the timing, framing • Flow control on the link. • Link Manager • Managing the connection states. • Enforcing Fairness among slaves. • Power Management • Logical Link Control &Adaptation Protocol • Handles multiplexing of higher level protocols • Segmentation & reassembly of large packets • Device discovery & QoS

  19. GFSK Differences & Advantages over FSK Modulation   • Q: What are the physical Differences between an FSK & GFSK Modulator, and how do their results vary?  • A1: An FSK Modulator is much the same as a GFSK Modulator, but GFSK uses a Gaussian filter as well. In a GFSK modulator everything is the same as a FSK modulator except that before the baseband pulses (-1, 1) go into the FSK modulator, it is passed through a gaussian filter to make the pulse smoother so to limit its spectral width • A2: Gaussian filtering is one of the very standard ways for reducing the spectral width, it is called Pulse Shaping. If we use -1 for fc-fd and 1 for fc+fd, once when we jump from -1 to 1 or 1 to -1, the modulated waveform changes rapidly, which introduces large out-of-band spectrum. If we change the pulse going from -1 to 1 as -1, -.98, -.93 ..... .96, .99, 1, and we use this smoother pulse to modulate the carrier, the out-of-band spectrum will be reduced.

  23. Review Format And Power Mode

  24. Master - Slave • Master • Device in Piconet whose clock and hopping sequence are used to synchronize all other devices (slaves) in the Piconet. • It also carries out Paging procedure and also Connection Establishment. • Slaves • Units within the piconet that are syncronized to the master via its clock and hopping sequence. • After connetion establishment, Slaves are assigned a temporary 3 bit member address to reduce the no. of addresing bits required

  25. Piconets m s • Point to Point Link • Master - slave relationship • Bluetooth devices can function as masters or slaves • Piconet • It is the network formed by a Master and one or more slaves (max 7). • Each piconet is defined by a different hopping channel to which users synchronize to. • Each piconet has max capacity (1 Mbps). • Hopping pattern is determined by the master. m s s s

  26. Piconet Structure Master Active Slave Parked Slave Standby

  27. Physical Link Types • Synchronous Connection Oriented (SCO) • Point to Point Full Duplex between Master & Slave • Established once by master & kept alive till released by Master • Typically used for Voice connection ( to guarantee continuity ) • Master reserves slots used for SCO link on the channel to preserve time sensitive information • Asynchronous Connection Link (ACL) • It is a momentary link between master and slave. • No slots are reserved. • It is a Point to Multipoint connection. • Symmetric & Asymmetric links possible

  28. Packet Types Data/voice packets Control packets Voice data ID* Null Poll FHS DM1 HV1 HV2 HV3 DV DH1 DH3 DH5 DM1 DM3 DM5 AccessCode Header Payload

  29. Packet Structure 0 - 2744 bits 54 bits 72 bits Access Code Header Payload header Data Voice CRC No CRC No retries ARQ FEC (optional) FEC (optional)

  30. Access Code • Purpose • Synchronization • DC offset compensation • Identification • Signaling • Types • Channel Access Code (CAC) • Identifies a piconet. • Device Access Code (DAC) • Used for signalling procedures like paging and response paging. • Inquiry Access Code (IAC) • General IAC is common to all devices, Dedicated IAC is for a dedicated group of Bluetooth devices that share a common characteristic.

  31. Packet Header • Addressing ( 3 bits ) • Packet type (4 bits ) • Flow Control ( 1 bit ) • 1-bit ARQ • Sequencing ( 1 bit ) • HEC ( 8 bit ) For filtering retransmitted packets Verify header integrity

  32. Connection State Machine Inquiry Page Standby Connected Transmit data Park Sniff Hold

  33. Connection State Machine (contd.) • Inquiry Scan • A device that wants to be discovered will periodically enter this mode and listen for inquiry packets. • Inquiry • Device sends an Inquiry packet addressed to GIAC or DIAC • Transmission is repeated on the inquiry hop sequence of frequencies. • Inquiry Response • When an inquiry message is received in the inquiry scan state, a response packet (FHS) containing the responding device address must be sent after a random number of slots.

  34. Connection State Machine (contd.) Inquiry Response

  35. Connection State Machine (contd.) • Page • The master uses the clock information, about the slave to be paged, to determine where in the hop sequence, the slave might be listening in the page scan mode. • The master sends a page message • Page Scan • The page scan substate can be entered by the slave from the standby state or the connection state. It listens to packets addressed to its DAC. • Page Response • On receiving the page message, the slave enters the slave page response substate. It sends back a page response consisting of its ID packet which contains its DAC, at the frequency for the next slot from the one in which page message was received.

  36. Security • Security Measures • Limited/Restricted Access to authorized users. • Both Link Level Encryption & Authentication. • Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) for device access. • Long encryption keys are used (128 bit keys). • These keys are not transmitted over wireless. Other parameters are transmitted over wireless which in combination with certain information known to the device, can generate the keys. • Further encryption can be done at the application layer. • Security values • Device Address-Public • Authentication Key(128 bits)-Private • Encryption Key(8-128 bits)-Private • Random Number

  37. Frequency Hop Spread-Spectrum • Bluetooth channel is represented by a pseudo random hopping sequence through the entire 79 RF frequencies • Nominal hop rate of 1600 hops per second • Channel Spacing is 1 MHz

  38. Time-Division Duplex Scheme • Bluetooth devices use a Time-Division Duplex (TDD) scheme • Channel is divided into consecutive slots (each 625 s) • One packet can be transmitted per slot • Subsequent slots are alternatively used for transmitting and receiving • Strict alternation of slots b/t the master and the slaves • Master can send packets to a slave only in EVEN slots • Slave can send packets to the master only in the ODD slots
