whitepaper Bluetooth Remote Controller for PC2009-10-10 University of Peradeniya
  This is a mobile application which runs in J2ME enabled phone with Bluetooth. This can be used as a Remote Controller for the PC to control most common applications such as Power Point presentation, Windows Media Player, Winamp, Internet Explorer and mouse movements and keyboard strokes. The technologies which are used to implement this application are Java Micro Edition (J2ME) and Bluetooth.

whitepaper Bluetooth-Enabled In-Home Patient Monitoring System: Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease2009-10-02 University of Waterloo
  As the baby boom generation is aging, more and more people are diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, early detection of which is shown to be vital and necessary for better medical treatments and prolonging life expectancies. This paper proposes a Bluetooth-enabled in-home patient monitoring system, facilitating early detection of Alzheimer's disease. The paper takes advantage of short-range Bluetooth communications for in-home patient location tracking, and the location information can then be recorded in a local database. With the knowledge of the movement pattern of a patient, a medical practitioner is more likely to be able to determine whether a target patient is developing Alzheimer's disease.

whitepaper A System Implementation of Pushing Advertisement to Handheld Devices Via Bluetooth2009-09-04 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  Almost everyone today has his or her mobile phone and Bluetooth has already become a standard inclusion on most mobile phones, laptops and PDAs. Data transfer through Bluetooth among the handheld devices is common and popular. Bluetooth establishes links in a more convenient manner to facilitate sharing data between devices. It motivates one to apply this technology to hypermarket advertising. This paper presents a framework that pushes advertisements to hypermarket customers with handheld devices via Bluetooth. The paper has implemented the system and completed the field test in a local superstore. The result was satisfied. Hypermarket can reduce the cost of distributing handbills by using this proactive advertising system which also provides dynamic delivering of advertisement.

whitepaper P2P Content Distribution to Mobile Bluetooth Users2009-08-18 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  Using handheld devices such as cellular phones and smart phones for personal entertainment has become commonplace in today's lifestyle. Virtually all of these devices are equipped with Bluetooth technology that can be used to distribute entertainment contents such as music and movie clips. Mobile users can download content from the opportunistically available infrastructure (e.g., Digital Billboards) as well as direct Peer-to-Peer (P2P) collaboration which significantly increases content availability/coverage. P2P content distribution protocol design is heavily influenced by the characteristics of Bluetooth, which is the main departure from Internet-based content distribution. However, little has been done to understand the performance of overall Bluetooth operations, ranging from peer discovery to data downloading, in dynamic environments with mobility, interference, and different Bluetooth versions/chipsets.

whitepaper Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: The Path From Carter and Reagan-Era Faith in Deregulation to Widespread Products Impacting Our World2009-05-31 Emerald Group Publishing
  The rules adopted in Docket 81-413 had a much greater impact than any of its advocates could ever have imagined at the time. They enabled the development of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, the majority of cordless phones now sold in the US, and myriad other lesser-known niche products. In doing so they created employment and growth for the communications electronics industry but the nature of the unforeseen products produced also changed the daily world and created further economic growth through improving efficiency of the society. Unlicensed systems also became a serious player in the communications infrastructure, although serious disagreements continue as what their role should be in the long-term. Without the success of the ISM bands, this discussion would not even be on the table.

whitepaper Study on Energy Saving and Security of Bluetooth Sensor Network2009-05-24 Academy Publisher
  The paper discusses an available method for design and analysis of information security and energy saving of wireless sensor network, which is based on Bluetooth technology. In this method, a low power SCM and a special mode are used to save the power of each sensor node as well as the Bluetooth modules in security.

whitepaper Using Co-Presence Communities to Enhance Social Recommendation2009-04-10 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  This paper proposes a social recommendation algorithm for use in a research social network environment. The social recommendation algorithm proposed combines the concepts of a relationship ontology and item-based Collaborative Filtering (CF). While the network setup in social networking sites can accurately reflect the social landscape of its users, it is much harder to detect the importance or strength of any one link. The paper therefore proposes an extension to the recommendation algorithm which makes use of the idea of co-presence communities to increase the relevance of the recommendations. A co-presence community can be detected from with data collected from Bluetooth-enabled mobiles. Detection of a co-presence community can help determine the nature and importance of the social links between participating members.

whitepaper Carrier-Sense ARQ: Squeezing Out Bluetooth Performance While Preserving Standard Compliancy2009-03-02 University of Padova
  This paper proposes a simple and standard compliant retransmission mechanism, called Carrier - Sense Automatic Repeat reQuest (CS - ARQ), which aims at improving system performance, both in terms of throughput and energy efficiency, by avoiding useless data packet retransmissions. More specifically, in case of missed acknowledgment (ACK), the source makes use of its carrier-sensing capabilities to decide whether retransmitting the data packet or soliciting the ACK retransmission from the destination. The scheme is modeled by means of a two - state Markov Chain that permits to determine closed-form expressions for the throughput and energy efficiency figures. The analysis reveals that the CS - ARQ mechanism is actually capable of significantly enhancing the system performance, in particular in some critical scenarios, while preserving standard compliancy.

whitepaper Broadband Stacked Patch Antenna for Bluetooth Applications2009-02-03
  Microstrip patch antennas are well suited for wireless Local Area Network (LAN) application systems due to their versatility, conformability, low cost and low sensitivity to manufacturing tolerances. Conventionally patch antennas have showed a narrowband response, implicating low bit rate transfer. Recently the importance has been placed upon creating patch antennas that show broadband properties, capable of high-speed data transfer. The aim of this paper is to design efficient and reliable broadband patch antenna for adequate area coverage and sufficient bandwidth usage. A parasitically coupled broadband patch antenna for the broadband wireless LAN application systems is designed. The proposed structure has been initially optimized using the Method of Moments based commercial software IE3D followed by experimental verification on Agilent Vector Network Analyzer, E5062A.

whitepaper Autonomous Proximity Awareness of Bluetooth Devices2009-01-31 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  This paper focuses on designing autonomous device discovery algorithms for Bluetooth networks. The paper first extends the conventional asymmetric Bluetooth link model to three point-to-point symmetric link models. Their performances are compared analytically. To achieve proximity awareness among a group of Bluetooth devices, three control information exchanging methods are also proposed. Combining with the three link models, this gives 9 possible variants of autonomous device discovery algorithm. A comprehensive comparative study based on these 9 variants is then carried out using Bluehoc simulator.
