Bluetooth Protocols
The actual protocols which make up Bluetooth Technology are the bulk of the information
detailed in the specification. To go into any level of detail on the protocols themselves would
take many pages. Thus, this paper will detail the different levels of the protocols, separate out the
protocols, and give a brief description of what each one accomplishes. The Bluetooth Protocol
Stack consists of the Transport Protocols Group, the Middleware Protocols Group, and the
Application Group.
The Transport Protocol Group consists of the lowest level, most machine oriented protocols.
These protocols are the backbone on which Bluetooth is built. They are (from lowest to highest):
Baseband and Radio Protocols, the Link Manager Protocol, and the L2CAP Layer. Within the
Transport Group the HCI layer also exist, a module for ease of communication between the
Transport layer and higher layers.
The Baseband and Radio protocols do the actual work of initializing the connections between the
different Bluetooth devices. It is these protocols which facilitate the frequency hopping that
makes Bluetooth possible. The Baseband layer is the piece of the protocol stack that facilitates
the master/slave relationship between the Bluetooth nodes.
