The Bluetooth wireless RF standard has been established as one of the most prevalent protocols implemented for wireless personal area networks. Its relatively low power consumption compared to implementations such as 802.11 make it suited for a variety of short range applications suitable for small embedded devices. The cell phone market has been a huge catalyst in making the Bluetooth protocol...

Bluetooth is popular technology for short-range communications and is incorporated in mobile devices such as smartphones, tablet computers and laptops. Vulnerabilities associated with Bluetooth technology led to improved security measures surrounding Bluetooth connections. Besides the improvement in security features, Bluetooth technology is still plagued by vulnerability exploits. This paper e...

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is an advanced technology that has been designed as complementary technology to classic Bluetooth and also it is the lowest possible power wireless technology that can be designed and built. This paper provides an overview of bluetooth low energy technology and utilization of CMOS Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) for BLE applications. The aim of this paper is review and comp...

Bluetooth technology has become an integral part of this modern society. The availability of mobile phones, game controllers, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and personal computers has made Bluetooth a popular technology for short range wireless communication. However, as the Bluetooth technology becomes widespread, vulnerabilities in its security protocols are increasing which can be potentia...

The growing implementation of technology had significant impact on its methods and practice. One technology with such an impact is the ever growing use of wireless systems in hospitals, industries and biomedical institutions. The objective is to transfer processed real time signal over Bluetooth using PIC Microcontroller. This is applicable for monitoring certain parameters such as temperature,...

This paper discusses possibilities of Bluetooth technology in pervasive computing environments. A model that utilises JiniTM and Bluetooth is proposed. Bluetooth can be handled as a wireless LAN solution as I have done in this paper. The paper is based on somewhat practical views rather than on abstractions. I also try to give a real-life case for Bluetooth and show, how Bluetooth can be used t...

Mobile Ad-Hoc networks(MANET) using Bluetooth technology has gained immense popularity among the networking community. Nowadays electronic devices like cell phones come equipped with Bluetooth. Whereas Bluetooth technology has certain obvious advantages like low power consumption and reliable connection but it suffers some inherent problems including low area of operation, limit of 7 slave devi...

Bluetooth is a radio technology for Wireless Personal Area Networking (WPAN) operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band. So far, there has been little research on how Bluetooth-enabled devices can effectively and efficiently have uninterrupted access to wide area networks (WAN) such as the Internet. We introduce a novel architecture (BlueStar) whereby selected Bluetooth devices, called Bluetoo...

Bluetooth is a recently proposed protocol for local wireless communication and has become a de facto standard for short-range ad hoc radio connections. Security concern is one of the most important problems delaying the mass adoption of Bluetooth. This article provides a study on the security issues behind the Bluetooth standard. After a overview of the general Bluetooth protocol, a security fr...

Current indoor localisation systems make use of common wireless signals such as Bluetooth, WiFi to track the users inside a building. Amongst those, Bluetooth has been widely known for its low-power consumption, small maintenance cost, as well as its wide-spread amongst the commodity devices. Understanding the properties of such wireless signal definitely aids the tracking system design. Howeve...
