Network Communication can be categorized into two types Wired (Guided) or Wireless (Unguided). Bluetooth is one of the most popular short-range wireless communication technology. Bluetooth technology eliminates the need for cables or wires.
Bluetooth works by using radio wave signals for data transmission between at least two devices.
Bluetooth hardware is known as Bluetooth adapter and Bluetooth drivers are used to operate Bluetooth adapter. This short-range wireless technology obeys IEEE 802.15.1 standards. Bluetooth supports 8 devices connected simultaneously.
- Low power consumption
- Communication distance covered up to 10 meters (30 feet)
- High-quality voice communication
- Data transfer speed 1 Mbps to 24 Mbps (depends on Bluetooth version)
How Bluetooth Works
Bluetooth wireless network is known as PAN(Personal Area Network) or Piconet. Bluetooth network is a peer-to-peer network and can contain one Master device and a maximum of up to seven slave devices. First of all Master device generates radio signals within the range for communication with slave devices. As the slave device responds or accepts a single the master device starts data synchronization. For communication with more than one slave device Scatternets were created. Scatternets is an ad-hoc type network that is used to communicate with more than one piconets.
