Course Objectives

List three key benefits of using Bluetooth technology
State the:
- maximum bit rate available over a Bluetooth connection in various configurations
- maximum number of voice channels supported by any one device
- operating ranges of Bluetooth devices
- maximum number of devices, which can be simultaneously connected together
Relate the concepts of Device Discovery and Service Discovery to the operation of a Bluetooth device
State the purpose of the Host Controller Interface and describe how a Bluetooth host would use it to communicate with a module
Describe how RFCOMM can be used to emulate a serial port, and how it supports different applications
Show diagrammatically how different applications are based on specific protocols within the Bluetooth stack, and comment on the origin of each
Identify the use and meaning of different messages from the different Bluetooth protocols
Decode the meaning of various messages, relating them to the operation of the Bluetooth short range wireless technology
