Bluetooth 49-9
Basic Printing Profile (BPP) allows devices to send texts, e-mails, vCards, images, or other items
to printers based on print jobs.
Common ISDN Access Profile (CIP) defines how ISDN signaling can be transferred via a Bluetooth
wireless connection.
Cordless Telephony Profile (CTP) defines how a cordless phone can be implemented over a
Bluetooth wireless link.
Dial-Up Network Profile (DUN) provides a standard to access the Internet and other dial-up
services via Bluetooth technology.
Fax Profile (FAX) defines how a FAX gateway device can be used by a terminal device.
File Transfer Profile (FTP) defines how folders and files on a server device can be browsed by
a client device.
General Audio/Video Distribution Profile (GAVDP) provides the basis for an ADP and a VDP,
the basis of the systems designed for distributing video and audio streams using Bluetooth
technology.
Generic Object Profile (GOEP) is used to transfer an object from one device to another.
Hands-Free Profile (HFP) describes how a gateway device can be used to place and receive calls
for a hand-free device.
Hard Copy Cable Replacement Profile (HCRP) defines how driver-based printing is accomplished
over a Bluetooth wireless link.
Headset Profile (HSP) describes how a Bluetooth-enabled headset should communicate with a
Bluetooth-enabled device.
Health Device Profile (HDP) is an application profile to connect health-monitoring source devices,
such as blood pressure monitors, glucose meters, and pulse oximeters to sink devices, such as
computers, laptops etc.
Human Interface Device Profile (HID) defines the protocols, procedures, and features to be used
by Bluetooth HID, such as keyboards, pointing devices, gaming devices, and remote monitoring
devices.
Intercom Profile (ICP) defines how two Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones in the same network can
communicate directly with each other without using the public telephone network.
Object Push Profile (OPP) defines the roles of the push server and the push client.
Personal Area Networking Profile (PAN) describes how two or more Bluetooth-enabled devices
can form an ad hoc network, and how the same mechanism can be used to access a remote
network through a network access point.
Service Discovery Application Profile (SDAP) describes how an application should use SDP to
discover services on a remote device.
Service Port Profile (SPP) defines how to set up virtual serial ports and to connect two Bluetoothenabled
devices.
Synchronization Profile (SYNC) used in conjunction with GOEP enables the synchronization
of calendar and address information (personal information manager (PIM) items) between
Bluetooth-enabled devices.
Video Distribution Profile (VDP) defines how a Bluetooth-enabled device streams videos over
Bluetooth wireless technology.
49.5 Competitive Technologies
Besides Bluetooth technology, there is a plethora of technologies intended to work in local and PANs to
replace wired communication. These technologies are discussed in the following paragraphs.
IEEE 802.11 is the most popular WLAN technology. There are different working groups currently
working for IEEE 802.11. IEEE 802.11a uses OFDM, operates in a 5.GHz range, and offers data rates up
to 54.Mbps. IEEE 802.11b uses DSSS, operates in a 2.4.GHz range, and offers data rates up to 11.Mbps.
