Bluetooth Applications and Architecture
Bluetooth Applications:
1 Wireless Audio (Headphones, speakers)
2 File Transfer (Mobile to laptop)
3 Device Connectivity (Keyboard, mouse, printer)
4 Internet Sharing (Tethering)
5 Smart Devices (IoT, smartwatches)
6 Car Systems (Hands-free calling, music)
7 Healthcare Devices (Heart rate monitors)
Bluetooth Architecture Layers:
1 Radio Layer – Handles wireless signal transmission (2.4 GHz)
2 Baseband Layer – Packet formation, error correction, timing
3 LMP (Link Manager Protocol) – Pairing, authentication, encryption
4 HCI – Interface between hardware and software
5 Host Layer – Includes L2CAP, RFCOMM, SDP
6 Profiles – Define usage (A2DP, HFP)
Bluetooth Network Topology:
1 Piconet – One master and up to 7 devices
2 Scatternet – Multiple interconnected piconets
