Specifications
Bluetooth uses full duplex transmission by having
a Time-Division Duplex (TDD) scheme. A Bluetooth wireless specification
consists of link layer and application layer classifications for product
developers that support data, voice, and content centric applications.
On the channel, information is exchanged through packets. Each packet
is transmitted on a different hop frequency. A packet nominally covers
a single slot, but can be extended to cover up to five slots. The Bluetooth
protocol uses a combination of circuit and packet switching. Slots can
be reserved for synchronous packets. Bluetooth can support an asynchronous
data channel up to three simultaneous synchronous voice channels, or a
channel that simultaneously supports asynchronous data and synchronous
voice. Each voice channel supports 64 kilobits per second synchronous
channel in each direction. The asynchronous channel can support maximal
723.2 kilobits per second asymmetric (and still up to 57.6 kilobits per
second in the return direction), or 433.9 kilobits per second symmetric.
The Bluetooth system consists of a radio unit, a link control unit, and
a support unit for link management and host terminal interface functions.
The Bluetooth system provides a point-to-point connection (only two Bluetooth
units involved), or a point-to-multipoint connection. In the point-to-multipoint
connection, the channel is shared among several Bluetooth units.
