The Bluetooth wireless technology allows communication between various Bluetooth devices without using cables. Devices which can use this technology include PCs, computer peripheral devices, PDAs, and mobile phones. This omnidirectional communication system enables communication even if the Bluetooth devices is in a bag or there are obstacles between the devices. Also, the Bluetooth wireless technology has an advanced security, such as scramble frequency, data encryption. Authentication Authentication routine can block unspecified users’ access to this network. When making a communication with an unregistered Bluetooth device, register each other by entering a common pass key to each device, first. When connecting with a registered Bluetooth device, communication starts without entering the pass key. 9 Basic operations in the NETWORK mode This section describes basic control ways to operate the camcorder, which are used for the network operations.

Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum 1. 1.1. 1. Bluetooth system Bluetooth systemBluetooth system Bluetooth system The Equipment Under Test (EUT) is the Digital Video Camera Recorder, witch has a Bluetooth BluetoothBluetooth Bluetooth communication module internally. Bluetooth BluetoothBluetooth Bluetooth is the one of the short-range wireless communication system with frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS). Bluetooth Specification Bluetooth SpecificationBluetooth Specification Bluetooth Specification is standardized by and published by Bluetooth Special Interest Bluetooth Special Interest Bluetooth Special Interest Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) Group (SIG)Group (SIG) Group (SIG) . This EUT is completely applied to The Bluetooth Specification ver. 1.1 The Bluetooth Specification ver. 1.1The Bluetooth Specification ver. 1.1 The Bluetooth Specification ver. 1.1 released in February 22nd, 2001. 2. 2.2. 2. Hopping Frequen Hopping FrequenHopping Frequen Hopping Frequency cycy cy The frequency range is 2402 MHz to 2480 MHz with spanning 79MHz. Hopping frequencies (channels) are separated by 1MHz within 20 dB bandwidth. Therefore there are 79 hopping frequencies. These hopping frequencies are selected by pseudo random sequence so that each frequency must be used equally on the average. The slot length of Bluetooth BluetoothBluetooth Bluetooth is separated by 625 microsecond and Bluetooth BluetoothBluetooth Bluetooth specifications allow a multi slots packet using these slots, up to five slots without an interval. A hopping frequency occupies over this multi slots packet and the longest occupancy is 3.125 millisecond, in case of a five-slot packet. 3. 3.3. 3. Hopping Sequence Hopping SequenceHopping Sequence Hopping Sequence The hopping frequencies are selected derived from the Bluetooth BluetoothBluetooth Bluetooth clock and the Bluetooth BD_ Bluetooth BD_Bluetooth BD_ Bluetooth BD_Address AddressAddress Address, which is a unique ID for unit by unit. Hopping frequencies are grouped into several segments. Each segment consists of 32 hop frequencies spanning about 64MHz. The hopping frequency selection scheme chooses a segment and visits these hops once in a random order. In case of connection mode, the selected 32-hop segment is changed by pseudo random sequence one after another. And cycling time is so long, because the code length is 2^27-1. 4. 4.4. 4. Creating connection Creating connectionCreating connection Creating connection Short-range wireless communication network of Bluetooth BluetoothBluetooth Bluetooth, called piconet, is established as following. One “Master” unit searches for other “Slave” units in surrounding area, which is called “Inquiry”. If at least one “Slave” is found, “Master” can try to create connection with it, which is called “Page”. After the connection is established, “Master” unit controls the hopping sequence in the piconet. In this case, “Master” unit’s BD_Address is used to generate hopping sequence. 2022 February 2001Frequency Bands and Channel Arrangement BLUETOOTH SPECIFICATION Version 1.1page 20 of 1084 Radio Specification 2 FREQUENCY BANDS AND CHANNEL ARRANGEMENT The Bluetooth system is operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM (Industrial Scientific Medicine) band. In a vast majority of countries around the world the range of this frequency band is 2400 - 2483.5 MHz. Some countries have however national limitations in the frequency range. In order to comply with these national limitations, special frequency hopping algorithms have been specified for these countries. It should be noted that products implementing the reduced frequency band will not work with products implementing the full band. The products implementing the reduced frequency band must therefore be consid- ered as local versions for a single market. The Bluetooth SIG has launched a campaign to overcome these difficulties and reach total harmonization of the frequency band. Channel spacing is 1 MHz. In order to comply with out-of-band regulations in each country, a guard band is used at the lower and upper band edge. GeographyRegulatory RangeRF Channels USA, Europe and most other countries 1) Note 1. The Bluetooth Specification includes a special frequency hopping pattern to pro- vide provisions for compliance with national limitations like in France. The fre- quency range for France is 2.4465 - 2.4835 GHz and the corresponding RF channels are f = 2454 + k MHz, k= 0,...,22. . 2.400-2.4835 GHzf=2402+k MHz, k=0,...,78 Table 2.1: Operating frequency bands GeographyLower Guard BandUpper Guard Band USA, Europe and most other countries 2 MHz3.5 MHz Table 2.2: Guard Bands Physical Channel22 February 200143 BLUETOOTH SPECIFICATION Version 1.1page 43 of 1084 Baseband Specification 2 PHYSICAL CHANNEL 2.1 CHANNEL DEFINITION The channel is represented by a pseudo-random hopping sequence hopping through the 79 or 23 RF channels. The hopping sequence is unique for the piconet and is determined by the Bluetooth device address of the master; the phase in the hopping sequence is determined by the Bluetooth clock of the master. The channel is divided into time slots where each slot corresponds to an RF hop frequency. Consecutive hops correspond to different RF hop fre- quencies. The nominal hop rate is 1600 hops/s. All Bluetooth units participating in the piconet are time- and hop-synchronized to the channel. 2.2 TIME SLOTS The channel is divided into time slots, each 625 μs in length. The time slots are numbered according to the Bluetooth clock of the piconet master. The slot numbering ranges from 0 to 2 27 -1 and is cyclic with a cycle length of 2 27 . In the time slots, master and slave can transmit packets. A TDD scheme is used where master and slave alternatively transmit, see Figure 2.1 on page 44. The master shall start its transmission in even- numbered time slots only, and the slave shall start its transmission in odd- numbered time slots only. The packet start shall be aligned with the slot start. Packets …

Requirement Hybrid systems that employ a combination of both direct sequence and frequency hopping modulation techniques shall achieve a processing gain of at least 17 dB from the combined technique. System losses In the formula for calculation the processing gain appears the term system losses. In Bluetooth there are two major causes for the system loss: 1. The non optimal sampling time. The CW jamming method assures that the optimal sampling time as determined before, in fact, as described above, it will be determined via the access code. 2. Losses due to attenuation in the RF part. Although this two points produce a system loss which will be much greater than 2 dB, we calculated with this value, because this is the maximum that will be accepted by FCC. Modification of measurement method Despreading is accomplished by correlating the received bit stream with the bit pattern of the access code. Then with the value of the correlator output will be decided if the access code is valid or not. That means if the access code is not valid a “bit error” occurs for the Bluetooth device. For this reason in CW jamming margin method the ratio of invalid access codes (IACR) is used to instead of the BER. Another reason to use this criteria is the fact, that the Bluetooth technology uses the access code to find the correct sampling point. That means if the access code cannot be found, all other bits in the transmission cannot be sampled successfully. CETECOM ICT …
