Bluetooth Abstract: Bluetooth has been the most advanced technology in our world. But not all of us know what exactly Bluetooth is, how dose Bluetooth work and what advantage Bluetooth has? Today or in the future, Bluetooth will bring us a great many riches, so all of us should know something about Bluetooth now. In my academic discourse, you will know more about Bluetooth: why we need Bluetooth? How dose Bluetooth come out? How dose Bluetooth work? In what aspect can Bluetooth be used? How will Bluetooth develop? With all of these questions, let us read this discourse and go into the Bluetooth World.Keyword:Bluetooth 蓝牙cable 电缆, 海底电报, 缆, 索frequency 频率, 周率, 发生次数mobile phones 可移动电话，手机microchip 微芯片synchronous 同步的，同时的IEEE 电气和电子工程师协会Broadband 宽带Wireless 无线的SNAP Smart Network Access Points（智能网络接入点）Polyphony Server 复音服务器Constellation Partners 星级伙伴Virtual Private Networks 虚拟专用网Ethernet 以太网Look around you at the moment, you have your keyboard connected to the computer, as well as a printer, mouse, monitor and so on. What joins all of these together? Of course, they are connected by cables. Cables have become the bane of many offices, homes etc. Most of us have experienced the 'joys' of trying to figure out what cable goes where, and getting tangled up in the details. Today, you will not be worried about this, Bluetooth essentially aims to fix this， it is a cable-replacement technology .But what exactly is Bluetooth? Well it isn't some strange form of tooth decay as you might initially imagine. Bluetooth is the name of a new technology, set to commercially come out in bulk around 2002. It promises to change significantly the way we use machines.Bluetooth Technology, which was conceived initially by Ericsson, has gained the support of Nokia, IBM, Toshiba, Intel and many other manufacturers today. Before being adopted by these companies, Bluetooth is a standard for a small, cheap radio chip to be plugged into computers, printers, mobile phones, etc. A Bluetooth chip is designed to replace cables by taking the information normally carried by the cable, and transmitting it at a special frequency to a receiver Bluetooth chip, which will then give the information received to the computer, phone whatever. That was the original idea, but the originators of the original idea soon realized that a lot more was possible. They thought, if you can transmit information between a computer and a printer, why not transmit data from a mobile phone to a printer, or even a printer to a printer? The projected low cost of a Bluetooth chip, and its low power consumption, means you could literally place one anywhere. How does Bluetooth works? Bluetooth uses a short-range radio link built into a 9 mm x 9 mm microchip. The protocol enables the exchange of information between many devices, including mobile telephones, PDAs, notebook PCs, handheld PCs, associated peripherals, and home hubs, which may include Home RF. The radio will operate on the globally available 2.45 GHz ISM "free band," meaning there will be no hindrance for international travelers using Bluetooth-enabled equipment. Bluetooth does not require line of sight for connection, provided they are within operational range of other Bluetooth-enabled devices. The Bluetooth base band protocol is a combination of circuit- and packet-switching, making it suitable for both voice and data. Each voice channel supports a 64 Kbit/s synchronous link, and the asynchronous channel can support an asymmetric link of up to 721 Kbit/s in either direction, while permitting 57.6 Kbit/s in the return direction. All in all, this is fast enough to cope with the vast majority of proposed data rates over cellular systems. The nominal link range is 10 cm to 10 m, but links can be extended to more than 100 m by increasing the transmit power. The software framework in the proposed specification would require Bluetooth-compliant devices to support a basic level of interoperability. The level of compliance will vary depending on the device application.Now we can say that Bluetooth has a lot of advantage.1>Fast frequency hopping avoids interference.2>Adaptive output power minimizes interference.3>Short data packets maximize capacity during interference.4>Fast acknowledge allows low coding overhead for links.5>CVSD(Continuous Variable Slope Delta Modulation) voice coding enables operation at high bit-error rates.6>Flexible packet types supports wide application range.7>Air interface tailored to minimize current consumption. Basic Technical Information-Based upon a small, high performance integrated radio transceiver, each of which is allocated a unique 48-bit address derived form the IEEE 802.standard. 8>Operate in the unrestricted 2.45GHz ISM free band, Which is available globally although slight variation of location and width of band apply.9>Range set at 10m to optimize for target market of mobile and business user.10>Gross data rate 1Mbit/s with second generation plans to increase to 1Mbit/s.11>One-to-one connections allow maximum data transfer rate of 721kbit/s (3 voice channels). 12>Uses packet switching protocol based on frequency hop scheme with 1600hops/s enable high performance in noisy radio environments. The entire available frequency spectrum id used with 79 hops of 1Mhz bandwidth, analogous to the IEEE 802.11 standard.13>Low power consumption longevity for battery powered devices. During data transfer the maximum current drain is 30mA.However during pauses or at lower data rates will be lover.Because of all the things we have inferred above, a lot of people become interested in Bluetooth. With this viewpoint interest in Bluetooth is soaring, lots of ideas are constantly emerging, some practical and feasible e.g.: Bluetooth chips in freight containers to identify cargo when a lorry drives into a storage depot, or a headset that communicates with a mobile phone in your pocket, or even in the other room, other ideas not so feasible: Refrigerator communicating with your Bluetooth-enabled computer, informing it that food supply is low, and to inform the retailer over the internet. If we want to know more about Bluetooth, we should know some new Bluetooth Products. There are some new Bluetooth Products here, we can see the big advantage it has.1. The Racewood Technology Co., Ltd. Bluetooth headset RBTHS001.

The rapid adoption of Bluetooth technology by the hotel industry would appear to provide early evidence of its potential. However, there are many questions as to the real viability of wireless systems in this business environment. The hotel industry is not one that you would normally associate with leading edge, high technology. However, in this age of the international business park, the demands of the business travelers are changing the face of hotel services. Hotels catering for business travelers have flourished and to keep its increasingly essential business clientele, the hotel industry is embracing new technologies to help deliver increased services to guests. The idea is a relatively simple one. There is a sort of service war going on and some hotels, particularly the larger chains, have grown hungry for new technologies. This hunger is manifesting itself in the take-up of wireless technologies and in particular, Bluetooth.The main reasoning behind this is to offer guests services such as email, internet access, greater in-hotel control of facilities, and access to local attraction information, remote checking in or out, use of hotel printing facilities and so on. While anyone can see that additional services in hotels could be extremely beneficial to the business travelers in particular, given that Bluetooth is still a new technology there remains an air of uncertainty around the validity of such services. And one question that is always thrown about when a new technology comes along is whether or not it is technology for technology's sake. There are enough worthy applications around to suggest this is not the case, although this is still something to be wary of. It is important to decipher whether hotels are embarking on a technology game or if there is something of real value to hotel guests here.One company that is about to embark on a trial of a Bluetooth-based hotel network is Bluetooth software developer, Classwave Wireless. The trial, to take place in June this year, follows a partnership deal with the Starwood Hotel chain. The potential of the application is full of optimism. We could say that "working with a partner like Classwave will enable Starwood to deliver a new level of information and service to its guests and employees." Classwave CEO, Tom Sweeney, claimed that its Polyphony Server "will enable Starwood to easily create new revenue streams and business models by delivering mobile personal networks for the dynamic delivery of content within their properties worldwide." Starwood, which boasts 725 properties in 80 countries including the Sheraton, St Regis and Westin brands, will install Classwave's Polyphony server in one of its New York hotels. This, it claims, will offer guests access to the internet and email, mobile registration and personalized information via mobile devices, electronic concierge and in-hotel m-commerce. Classwave, a specialist in what it terms Bluetooth Network Infrastructure solutions, will initially set up a system that will deal with guest reservation and registration information. Business travelers will be able to check-in and check-out where they want and when they want, according to the company.But it doesn't stop there. According to Classwave, there are greater benefits in terms of both functionality and cost. As well as offering guests wireless services, the system will enable a number of other functions for the hotel back office including mobile management systems, employee service logistics, employee chat services, instant messaging and access to corporate data.The hotel could also have its own mobile portal extending localized content to guests, voice services and access to Starwood's 'Constellation Partners' for m-commerce and convention services. "The wireless server platform enables companies like Starwood to easily create new revenue streams and business models by delivering mobile portals for the dynamic delivery of content," says a Classwave spokeswoman. "We are finding three primary reasons for deploying Polyphony Server in hotels: to generate revenue; reduce registration staff; and reduce call centre staff." The revenue generation comes from an increase in fee-based services such as high-speed internet usage, email and fax, while the reduction in traditional staff is undoubtedly a long-term cost saver. A reduction in registration staff by providing automated check-in and a reduction in call centre staff through extension of website reservation system to wireless devices will be attractive propositions to the budget sensitive hotelier. It will also have the added benefit of reducing waiting times for check-in and reservation changes.The system works by deploying a number of SNAPs around the hotels to allow for transfer of information from kiosks to customer mobile devices. It is controlled by Classwave's Polyphony Server, which provides the backbone 'intelligence' for the Bluetooth network by managing the devices media format and content delivery through the SNAPs and other wireless channels including cellular networks. While the network is based on the Bluetooth standard, Classwave's application itself is not dependent on Bluetooth. Classwave also supports 802.11 but claims, "due to the form factor of PDAs and phones expected to embrace Bluetooth, we are using it in the hotel trials," adds the spokeswoman. The main reasoning given is the "lower power usage", "reasonable speed" and "the support for both data and voice".Let us have a look at the Five-star treatment. The Holiday Inn Wall Street is another hotel striving to offer its clientele leading edge technology services. It has teamed up with Registry Magic to deliver what it claims is "the world's first full service Bluetooth-enabled hotel," a statement that may raise a few eyebrows at Starwood. Registry Magic's involvement with The Holiday Inn is to initially provide its Bluetooth-based Consumer Payment Network and Bluetooth cell phones and mobile devices to enable guests to access a host of wireless services. These services include check-in and check-out, making payments at in-house restaurants, secure access to rooms, internet access and picking up phone messages.Like Classwave and Starwood, Registry Magic and The Holiday Inn are quick to dismiss any suggestion of gimmick.
