Bluetooth Introduction Bluetooth ZigBee developed by Bluetooth Special Interest Group version 2.1 usage for Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) used in multimedia or as simple cable replacement headsets cordless keyboards version 1.1 and 1.2 and specified as IEEE 802.15.1 16.07.2008 Network Standards 5
IEEE 802.15.1 Introduction Bluetooth ZigBee actual goal: compatibility between WPAN and WLAN devices showed to be infeasible base parts of Bluetooth specified as standard Radio Layer Baseband Link Manager L2CAP Layer 16.07.2008 Network Standards 6
IEEE 802.15.1 Radio Layer uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) several frequencies in the 2,4GHz band changes frequency 1600 times per second interference with and from other devices is reduced adapted hopping sequence Introduction Bluetooth ZigBee digital modulation uses Frequency Shift-Keying 1 higher frequency 0 lower frequency 3 power classes 1, 2,4 and 100mW 16.07.2008 Network Standards 7
IEEE 802.15.1 Baseband connection point of Radio layer and the upper layers Introduction Bluetooth ZigBee 2 kinds of connections point to point point to many Piconet 1 master up to 7 active slaves many more sleeping slaves same hopping sequence Scatternet several Piconets that share the same device 16.07.2008 Network Standards 8
IEEE 802.15.1 Baseband Introduction Bluetooth ZigBee every device has a unique 48 Bit long address is to be assigned by the IEEE 8 Bit company ID 24 Bit to be assigned by the company used for access codes which derive from the device address access codes device access code inquiry access code channel access code defined by the master 16.07.2008 Network Standards 9
IEEE 802.15.1 L2CAP Introduction Bluetooth ZigBee connects to Bluetooth profiles to the lower layers channel multiplexing protocol multiplexing flow control error control and retransmission fragmentation and recombination quality of service 16.07.2008 Network Standards 10
Bluetooth Profiles Introduction Bluetooth ZigBee profiles are the essential part of Bluetooth determine what the device can do with whom and how it can communicate profiles sit upon the L2CAP layer profiles may require other profiles to work e.g. FTP Profile used for reading folder indexes, sending or getting files uses the OBEX Profile 16.07.2008 Network Standards 11
