Definition

n Specificationn Bluetooth specification includes a profile

documentn Foundation Profiles were released with version 1.0b

of the Bluethooth specification and are still the only incorporated profiles (v1.1)

n SIG continues to define profiles to support further applicationsn SIG … Special Interest Groupn Profile working groups

n A template for new profiles is availablen to ensure a common structure

31.05.2002, Böck Michael 9925077, Rötzer Matthias 9926341 4

Definition

n A Profilen Provides a clear description of how a full

specification of a standard system should be used to implement a given end-user function

n Achieve interoperabilityn A Bluetooth headset purchased from Manufacturer A

will interwork with a Bluetooth enabled cellular phone purchased from Manufacturer B

n Standardisation

31.05.2002, Böck Michael 9925077, Rötzer Matthias 9926341 5

Interoperability

n Interoperability on different levelsn On radio level

n to ensure Bluetooth devices can get in contact with each other

n On protocol leveln to ensure that Bluetooth devices can talk with each

other

n On usage leveln to ensure that Bluetooth devices can execute

applications together an meet end-users’ expectations

31.05.2002, Böck Michael 9925077, Rötzer Matthias 9926341 6

Interoperability

n Vertical slice through the protocol stack

n Each Bluetooth device supports one or more profiles

31.05.2002, Böck Michael 9925077, Rötzer Matthias 9926341 7

Profile roles

n Profile rolesn When involved in radio communication according to a

Bluetooth profile, each device take one of the roles specified in the profile, e.g.n Gateway or voice terminal (Cordless Telephony Profile)n Gateway or data terminal (Dial-up Networking Profile)n Headset or audio gateway (Headset profile)n OBEX client or OBEX server (General Object Exchange

profile)

General Access Profile (GAP)

n GAPn most basic profile – all other profiles are built upon it

and use its facilitiesn make sure that all devices can successfully establish

a baseband linkn Minimum conformance requirement for Bluetooth devicesn Generic Procedures for Discovering Bluethooth devicesn Link Management Facilities for connection to Bluetooth

devicesn Naming Conventionsn Modes of Operation

31.05.2002, Böck Michael 9925077, Rötzer Matthias 9926341 12

General Access Profile (GAP)

n Modes of Operationn Discoverability

n Governs the use of inquiry scan and whether other devices can discover a Bluetooth device when it comes within their area of radio coverage.n non-discoverable devicen limited discoverable devicen general discoverable device

31.05.2002, Böck Michael 9925077, Rötzer Matthias 9926341 13

General Access Profile (GAP)

n Connectabilityn Governs the use of page scan and whether other devices

can connect to a Bluetooth device when it comes within their area of radio coverage.n non-connectablen connectable

n Pairabilityn Governs the use of the link manager’s pairing facilities,

which are used to create link keys for use on encrypted links.n non-pairablen pairable

31.05.2002, Böck Michael 9925077, Rötzer Matthias 9926341 14

General Access Profile (GAP)

n Securityn Governs when and how encryption is initiated on a link.n Mode 1: non-secure

n authentication is optionaln Mode 2: service level enforced security

n Security is not initiated until an L2CAP channel is established, then it is established according to the requirements of services.

n authentication is requiredn Mode 3: link level enforced security

n Security is initiated when the baseband ACL link is established.

n authentication is required
