The Bluetooth specification has just been updated to reflect dramatic improvements in both reliability and interoperability. The authors place Bluetooth 1.1 in context, covering markets, applications, complementary technologies, and key development issues; and explaining the goals of the new release. Next, they cover the Bluetooth protocol stack in depth, focusing on major Bluetooth 1.1 enhancements. These include: new approaches for conserving power without sacrificing reliability; important interoperability enhancements in the widely-used Master/Slave switch; changes to Bluetooth encryption and authentication; interoperability between version 1.0b and 1.1; and new Bluetooth profiles -- especially, the new Personal Area Networking Profile. The book offers in-depth coverage of complementary technologies, including OBEX, WAP, GSM TS07.10, Q.931, and UUIDs; as well as detailed comparisons with competing technologies such as DECT, IrDA, Home RF, HiperLAN, and 802.11.
