‘Bluetooth’ is a technique of Wireless Personal area network (WPAN) specially designed to support portable, mobile computing devices and a variety of consumer electronic equipment. The Bluetooth operates in the 2.4 GHz industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) radio band. Bluetooth radio characteristics include low power, short range and medium transmission speed. Bluetooth chips are already available and early applications include cordless connections from mobile phones to laptop computers and wireless headsets. Since May 1998 the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has steered the development of the technology through the development of an open industry specification, including both protocols and application scenarios, and a qualification program designed to assure end-user value for Bluetooth products. This paper introduces the Bluetooth wireless technology and its applications and provides a concise description of its air interface, architecture, protocol stack and security.
