Q

What is Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS):

A
  • Signal hops from frequency to frequency at fixed intervals
  • Hopping sequence dictated by spreading code
  • Receiver, hopping between frequencies in synchronization with transmitter, picks up message

Q

How does FHSS Transmitter work?

A

User data -> modulator -> narrowband signal -> modulator - frequency synthesizer- hopping sequence -> spread transmit signal

Q

What is a piconet?

A
  • BT communication takes place over Piconets
  • Piconet formation initiated by primary
  • All other participants are secondary devices

Q

What are the three states of Low-Power?

A
  • Hold
  • Sniff
  • Park
17
Q

What is hold?

A

Node sleeps for specified interval

- Primary can put secondary in hold while searching for new members, attending another piconet, etc

18
Q

What is sniff?

A

Secondary low-duty cycle mode

  • Secondary wakes up periodically to talk to primary
  • fixed sniff intervals
19
Q

What is park?

A

Very low power state

  • Used to admit more than 7 secondary devices in Piconet - gives up its active member address and receives parked member address
  • Wakes up periodically listening for broadcasts which can be used to “unpack” node
20
Q

What makes multiple piconets?

A
  • When piconet overlap in space and time due to nodes participating in more than 1 piconet
  • “Time sharing”
21
Q

What is scatternet?

A
  • Interconnection of multiple piconets

- Interconnection by bridge nodes

22
Q

What are the roles of bridge nodes?

A
  • “Stay” in a piconet for some time, then switch to another Piconet by changing hop sequence
  • Send and receive in each Piconet
  • Forward from one Piconet to another
23
Q

What is A2DP: Advanced Audio Distribution Profile

A

Stereo Audio from smartphone to headphone

24
Q

What is aptX?

A
  • Wireless real-time streaming of high quality audio

- Proprietary audio compression algorithms

25
Q

What is Enhanced Data Rate (EDR)?

A
  • Faster data transfer

- Lower power consumption using reduced duty cycle

26
Q

What is High Speed?

A
  • Data is carried over Wi-Fi Link

- Used for control channel

27
Q

What is Bluetooth Beacons?

A
  • Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) based

- Bluetooth beacon devices transmit a unique user ID (UUID) number that can be read by a Bluetooth receiver

28
Q

What are Bluetooth Beacons for?

A

Proximity, not localization

29
Q

What are the programmable parameters of Beacons?

A
  • Transmit power

- Frequency

30
Q

What are applications of Bluetooth Beacons?

A
  • Advertisement and Coupon distribution
  • Home automation systems
  • Transportation systems
  • Sport stadiums
