Discover how Bluetooth’s spread spectrum technology allows it to operate with other devices operate including wireless LAN, microwave ovens, cordless telephones, wireless video cameras and how the Bluetooth specification now allows devices to adapt their frequency transmission to avoid interfering with these devices. You will learn about the discovery (inquiry) phase and the connection (paging) process that devices use to find and connect to other devices.

The modulation types and packet structures are explained along with how the use of multislot RF packets can dramatically increase the data throughput between devices. Learn how enhanced data rate - EDR - can increase data transmission rate from 1 Mbps to 3 Mbps. The protocol layers are explained including the RF baseband (physical), link manager, L2CAP (transport), and upper session and application layers.

You will learn about the many Bluetooth profiles that define the services and applications that Bluetooth can provide. Bluetooth security processes such as pairing (authentication) and privacy (encryption) and how the new simple pairing process is described.
