Sept 2003 Sept 03 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -03/0394 -00 Feature: Architecture Overview • Describes how Bluetooth fits together – New first section in BT Spec that mirrors 802. 15. 1 – Redefines terms, for example • AM_ADDR becomes LTID (Logical Transport ID) • L 2 CAP CID becomes LLID (Logical Link ID) • Host Controller becomes Controller (Just like. 15) – Allows future specification versions to be more architecturally consistent Submission 8 Tom Siep, TMS Consulting

Sept 2003 Sept 03 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -03/0394 -00 Feature: Architecture Diagram (old) Submission 9 Tom Siep, TMS Consulting

Sept 2003 Sept 03 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -03/0394 -00 Feature: Architecture Diagram (new) Submission 10 Tom Siep, TMS Consulting

Sept 2003 Sept 03 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -03/0394 -00 Feature: Faster Connections • Faster Inquiry is done by: – Interlaced Scanning on both page trains – Sending FHS packet on first ID packet and then randomly backing off – Reduced MAX_RAND – RSSI in Inquiry Results – Profile Specific DIAC’s • Faster Paging is done by: – Interlaced Scanning on both page trains Submission 11 Tom Siep, TMS Consulting

Sept 2003 Sept 03 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -03/0394 -00 Feature: Faster Connections (cont’d) Submission 12 Tom Siep, TMS Consulting

Sept 2003 Sept 03 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -03/0394 -00 Feature: Adaptive Frequency Hopping • Defines a new hopping kernel which allows an arbitrary set of frequencies to be used – Good channels are still used – Bad channels are mapped onto good channels • Same Channel used for Tx and Rx • Channel Classification can be by Active or Passive means – Specification gives example algorithms – Subset of 802. 15. 2 Submission 13 Tom Siep, TMS Consulting

Sept 2003 Sept 03 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -03/0394 -00 Feature: Extended SCO (e. SCO) • Enhances Synchronous Connection-Oriented [logical transport] • Adds EV 3, EV 4 and EV 5 packet types – EV 3 = HV 3 + CRC – EV 4 = 3 slot HV 2 + CRC – EV 5 = 3 slot HV 3 + CRC • CRC allows retransmissions of corrupted EV packets • Uses separate LTID (AM_ADDR) – Separate LTID implies separate ARQ scheme Submission 14 Tom Siep, TMS Consulting

Sept 2003 Sept 03 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -03/0394 -00 Feature: Scatternet / Scattermode • Scatternet – Relaxes requirements of a slave to allow them to listen to two masters. This is required for Scattermode to be entered into. • Scattermode – Defines periodic packets that shall be sent by the master of a piconet so that slaves can synchronize. These packets contain data flow information so that time listening on one piconet is optimized. Submission 15 Tom Siep, TMS Consulting

Sept 2003 Sept 03 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -03/0394 -00 Feature: Absence Masks • Define a period of time when a device will not be active in a piconet – Only applies to “low priority” traffic like ACL – SCO still works in absences • Used to notify a third device about a commitment with a second device, regardless of roles Submission 16 Tom Siep, TMS Consulting

Sept 2003 Sept 03 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -03/0394 -00 Feature: L 2 CAP Flow & Error Control • Segments SDU’s into multiple PDU’s • Each has – Sequence and Acknowledge numbers – Different 16 bit CRC to check data integrity – Flow Control bits to control flow and retransmissions per LLID • Two modes – Retransmission Mode – Flow Control Only Submission 17 Tom Siep, TMS Consulting

Sept 2003 Sept 03 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -03/0394 -00 Qo. S Clarification / Flow Spec • Harmonizes the difference between L 2 CAP and HCI definitions of Qo. S • Allows Qo. S to be defined in a bidirectional manner • Redefines Flush Timeout as time from when a Data packet enters Controller and not when it is first transmitted – A packet may never be transmitted if Flush Timeout is short and delay is long Submission 18 Tom Siep, TMS Consulting

Sept 2003 Sept 03 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -03/0394 -00 Feature: LMP / HCI • LMP adds 15 bit op-codes – Adds a 15 bit LMP Op-codes to allow more LMP commands to be defined. Clarifies the procedures when an unknown LMP Opcode is received. • HCI Get LMP Handle – Gets LMP SCO Handle for SCO Channels • HCI Read Clock – Reads Local or Remote BT Clock – Returns Clock and Accuracy Submission 19 Tom Siep, TMS Consulting

Sept 2003 Sept 03 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -03/0394 -00 Feature: Anonymity Mode • Private Bluetooth Addresses – BD_ADDR will become private information – Page Scan and Inquiry Scan on a random public BD_ADDR which changes periodically • Pairing done on Public Address – Once link is encrypted, then private addresses can be exchanged • Alias Authentication – Need to authenticate with a network address not a public address. Single alias address for multiple devices. Submission 20 Tom Siep, TMS Consulting
