Purpose Why Bluetooth?
The Bluetooth specification is a global technology that allows wireless communication and networking between PCs and other portable devices.
Why HomeRF? HomeRF enables different consumer electronic devices to
communicate with each other while providing users with a complete home network solution. Users will be able to dial in from a remote location and control any device.
Why IrDA? IrDA is intended for point-to-point links between two
devices for simple data transfers and file synchronization.

Communication Protocols
Applications
RFCOMM / SDP
L2CAP
Host Controller Interface (HCI)
Link Manager (LM)
Baseband
Radio
Bluetooth Defines the requirements for the Bluetooth transceiver device.
Manages physical channels and links (asynchronous and synchronous), handles packets, paging and inquiry to access Bluetooth devices in the area.
Carries out link setup, authentication, link configuration, etc.
Provides a command interface to the baseband controller and link manager, and access to hardware status and control registers.
Provides connection-oriented and connectionless data services to upper layer protocols with protocol multiplexing capability, segmentation, and reassembly operation and group abstractions.
RFCOMM: Provides emulation of serial ports over the L2CAP.
SDP: Provides a means for applications to discover which services are available and to determine the characteristics of those available services
Provides what application are able to run.

Communication Protocols (cont.)
Existing Upper Layers

TIP
HomeRF MAC Layer
HomeRF PHY Layer
HomeRF
• Physical layer has been modified significantly to reduce cost, while still maintaining more than adequate performance for home usage scenarios .
•Transmit power up to +24dBm
• Receiver Sensitivity in 2FSK
• Optional low power transmit mode: 0 to 4 dBm for portable devices.
• MAC layer is optimized for the home environment and is designed to carry both voice and data traffic.
•Good support for voice and data by using both TDMA and CSMA/CA access mechanisms.
•Support for 4 high quality voice connections.
•High data throughput 1.6Mbps.
•Data security.
•Power management for Isochronous and Asynchronous nodes.
•24 bit Network ID.
HomeRF uses, references and maps existing network layers.

Network Topology
![Page 12: A Comparison of Bluetooth and competing technologies](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813316550346895d99d863/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Bluetooth Piconet and Scatternet Piconet connects 7 devices with one
host talking to 7 clients. Clients have to talk to each other
through the host. Scatternet allows groups of piconets
to communicate with each other. Scatternet also has a host
controlling groups of piconets.

Spectrum Collisions
HomeRF, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11b use the same ISM 2.45 GHz frequency band.
If all 3 used in same vicinity, the technologies will disrupt and/or cancel each other.
With FHSS and different hop rates (Bluetooth- 1600 hops/sec, HomeRF?) it minimizes the changes that they will interfere with each other.
![Page 14: A Comparison of Bluetooth and competing technologies](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813316550346895d99d863/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
HomeRF Interference Immunity Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Corruption happen only in small
packets High power transmission Able to avoid some of the interfering
frequency Hopset adaptation makes sure that
retry will be free of interference Less consecutive “bad hops”
![Page 15: A Comparison of Bluetooth and competing technologies](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56813316550346895d99d863/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
HomeRF Security 128-bit key encryption, 32-bit
Initialization Vector(repeats every half a year)
Network ID needed to synchronize frequency hopping
Denial service attack unlikely Disruptor must determine the frequency of HomeRF
access point Access points hop on independent sequences and
time bases HomeRF MAC ignores commands from foreign
network IDs.
