Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a wireless protocol that uses radio waves for short-range data and voice communication between electronic devices, enabling them to connect without wires. Devices establish connections by "pairing" after discovering each other, forming a temporary wireless personal area network. This technology allows devices like computers, smartphones, headphones, and keyboards to communicate directly, creating a network of connected devices within a limited range.
How it Works
Discovery: When Bluetooth is enabled, a device can discover other nearby Bluetooth-enabled devices.
Pairing: Users typically select a device to connect to, and the devices "pair" to form a secure connection by sharing a code.
Connection Establishment: Once paired, the devices can maintain their connection without needing to be rediscovered each time.
Adaptive Frequency Hopping: To avoid interference, Bluetooth devices rapidly change frequencies, a process called frequency hopping, allowing them to work well in crowded wireless environments.
