What does Bluetooth do for you?

“Usage Models”

“Design a radio to replace the cable and its connectors…”

• Design Goals– Small implementation size– Low implementation cost – Low power consumption– Secure and robust for open ISM band

• Challenges– Fast frequency hopping– Single chip integration

Global Operation

Industrial - Scientific - Medical

80 MHz at 2.45 GHz

Globally available

Unlicensed and free to use

Unprecedented Cross Industry Commitment

• Special Interest Group

– Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Nokia and Toshiba

• And today there are more than 2000 Bluetooth adopters...

Technically Speaking . . .

Bluetooth Module

• Small Size– 0.5 square inches in production

– Eventually moving to a single chip solution

• Low power– 2.7V (1.62 - 2.75V)

– 300 A standby, 30 A in sleep, 60 A hold/park

– 3 - 30 mA when transmitting

– 1 or 100 mW active power

• Low Price– $25 projected to come down to around $5 OE

M integration cost• Designed for CMOS single chip solution

Bluetooth Radio

BluetoothBluetooth

Bluetooth Link Controller

Technical Features• 2.4 GHz ISM Open band

– Globally free available frequency, 89 MHz of spectrum available– FFH/DS Hybrid Radio

• 10 -100 m range, personal bubble – 8 active devices per piconet (share datarate)– Up to 10 piconets in bubble (full datarate)

• 1 Mbps gross rate – Future version: 2 Mbps

• Simultaneous voice/data capable– 432 Kbps (full duplex), 721/56 Kbps (asymmetric)– or– 3 simultaneous full duplex voice per piconet (CVSD@64 Kbps).– or a combination of data and voice

Battery Life Time• Estimates calculated with 600 mAh battery and internal amplifier,

power will vary with implementation and application

• Low power consumption– Standby current 0.3 mA

• > 3 months

– Voice mode 10 mA (one voice channel)• > 60 hours

– Data mode average 6 mA (20% utilization) • > 100 hours

• Low Power Architecture– Programmable data length (else radio sleeps)– Hold and Park modes 60 µA

• Devices connected but not participating

• Device can participate within 2 ms

Robust Data and Voice Transfer

• Bluetooth is designed to be robust

• Open band interference is negotiated by:– 1600 frequency hops/s

– Short and flexible data packets

– Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ)

– Forward Error Correction (FEC)

– 16 bit Cyclic Redundancy Check

– Speech coding:• Continuos Variable Slope Delta modulation (CVSD)

Bluetooth Scalable Security• Provides link layer security between any two Bluetooth radios

• Authentication (E1 algorithm)

– Challenge/Response system

• Encryption (privacy)

– Encrypts data between two devices

– Stream cipher with E0 algorithm

• Key management and usage

– Configurable Encryption key length (0-16 bytes)

• Government export regulations

• Radio negotiate key size

– Key generation with E2-E3 algorithms• Authentication and Encryption keys

Topology• Radio range has two varieties

• Short range (10 meters or less)– 0 dBm radio, 1mW

– Optimized for short range devices• Headset, Mouse, Keyboard, etc. ...

• Longer range (100 meters or less)– 20 dBm radio, 100 mW

– Module has a power amplifier built-in

– Optimized for devices changing environments• Notebooks, cellphones, access points, etc. …

Topology• Radio/Baseband

– Master/Slave medium access

– Radio/Baseband is symmetric

– Connected devices can be master or slave

– Could be master and slave concurrently

• Piconet

– All devices in a piconet hop together

– Frequency hopping sequence is determined by the masters ID

– Phase of the frequency hopping sequence is determined by the masters clock

Topology

• Piconet

– Point to Point

– Point to Multipoint

– No base station is needed

– 8 concurrent devices

– More than 200 active devices

– 1 Mb/s gross rate

Topology

• Scatternet

– Devices can share piconets

– Interpiconet communication

– Instant Ad-hoc connections

– 10 Piconets

– Aggregated 10 Mb/s

Topology

• Mobile Topology

– All device are mobile

– Walknet:

– The whole piconet cell is mobile

– Make and Brake Connections

Connection Procedure• Standby

– Waiting to join a piconet

• Inquire– Finding devices

• Page– Connect to a known device

• Connected– Actively on a piconet (master

or slave)

• Park/Hold– Low Power connected states

Page and Inquire Scans

• A radio must be enabled to accept pages or inquires (also in connected state)
