Abstract

In recent years with the massive rise in popularity of mobile and fixed electronic computing devices (PCs, PDAs, Laptops, Mobile phones, etc.), there has been a growing demand for high-speed digital wireless communication facilities. Bluetooth is a promising new technology that is aimed at supporting wireless connectivity among cell phones, headsets, PDAs, digital cameras and laptop computers. The name Bluetooth has been borrowed from, The king of Denmark king. With the increasing penetration of wireless communications systems (wcs), customers are expecting the same level of service, reliability and performance from the wireless communication systems. Initially, Bluetooth was proposed as a replacement to cables, but it evolved as a solution for forming Personal Area Networks. After comparing IEEE 802.11 it is observed that Bluetooth is more secure due to its short range. A model of Bluetooth was studied using OPNET (Optimized Network Engineering Tool) in which behavior of Bluetooth network environment has been analyzed. Different stages of Bluetooth technology model and topology formation is also discussed.
