Setting up a Bluetooth Packet Transport Link

Data transmission between Bluetooth devices will be presented from a low-level perspective, in terms of the OSI ISO model the physical and link layers. The issues presented in the paper are derived from the task of setting up a packet transport mechanism between two Bluetooth devices. The physical characteristics of the radio link are presented and Bluetooth packet types are briefly introduced. The Bluetooth term piconet is defined, and the set up and operation of a piconet, including device discovery, paging and data transmission issues, are presented. The paper ends with a short discussion.
