Text of the page (random words):
oximity reporter is within a close range physical proximity can be estimated using the radio receiver s rssi value although this does not have absolute calibration of distances typically an alarm may be sounded when the distance between the devices exceeds a set threshold an example of proximity sensing usage is webauthn hybrid transport with cloud assisted bluetooth low energy cable allowing roaming authenticators such as smartphones to authenticate with webauthn credential known as passkey bluetooth low energy is used as a proximity check between roaming authenticators and clients such as personal computers 25 alerts and time profiles edit the phone alert status profile and alert notification profile allow a client device to receive notifications such as incoming call alerts from another device the time profile allows current time and time zone information on a client device to be set from a server device such as between a wristwatch and a mobile phone s network time battery edit the battery service exposes the battery state and battery level of a single battery or set of batteries in a device audio edit announced in january 2020 le audio is built on top of bluetooth 5 2 5 3 it allows the bluetooth le protocol to carry audio with lower battery consumption compared to regular bluetooth audio 32 features like one set of headphones connecting to multiple audio sources or multiple headphones connecting to one source known as auracast 33 34 35 and support for hearing aids 36 it introduces lc3 as its default codec 32 the standard has a lower minimum latency claim of 20 30 ms vs bluetooth classic audio s 100 200 ms 37 specifications on the implementation of basic audio profile and coordinated set identification was released in 2021 38 39 40 41 and the common audio profile and service in march 2022 42 43 on 12 july 2022 the bluetooth sig announced the completion of bluetooth le audio 44 auracast edit main article auracast auracast implements public audio broadcasting services allowing multiple receivers to connect to a single audio transmitter without going through bluetooth device pairing first it is a trademark owned by the bluetooth sig auracast required device roles by device type 45 transmitter receiver assistant bap source sink assistant pbp cap initiator acceptor commander tmap sender receiver n a hap n a hearing aid n a auracast is based

available streams such as transmitter name type of audio program title and language which can be displayed on the receiver and in the apps on smartphones and smartwatches or processed by the receiver to automatically connect to preferred sources 51 bluetooth le enabled smartphones function as an assistant to control auracast receivers like headphones and earbuds broadcast audio uri marketed as scan to listen provides information required to connect to the specific audio stream encoded with a qr code or transmitted using nfc this allows users to directly select a specific audio stream in applications such as audio guides in a museum simultaneous translations in multiple languages silent tv screens in a bar or community center public events or music performances at conference halls sports venues houses of worship station and service announcements in public transport and flight announcements in airports 52 midi edit developed by the midi manufacturers association mma working group now the midi association there is a formalized bluetooth le midi ble midi specification 53 a wireless protocol designed to transmit midi data over bluetooth low energy it focuses on power efficient wireless midi communication for devices such as midi controllers keyboards pedals etc that don t continuously stream data and without significant latency operating systems that support it include windows 10 version 1607 macos and android contact tracing and notification edit main articles digital contact tracing bluetooth proximity tracing contact tracing mobile phones and exposure notification in december 2020 the bluetooth sig released a draft specification for a wearable exposure notification service this service allows exposure notification services on wearable devices to communicate with and be controlled by client devices such as smartphones 54 implementation edit chip edit starting in late 2009 bluetooth low energy integrated circuits were announced by a number of manufacturers these ics commonly use software radio so updates to the specification can be accommodated through a firmware upgrade hardware edit current mobile devices are commonly released with hardware and software support for both classic bluetooth and bluetooth low energy operating systems edit ios 5 and later 55 windows phone 8 1 56 windows 8 and later 57 windows 7 and earlier requires drivers from bluetooth radio manufacturer supporting ble stack as it has no built in generic ble drivers 58 android 4 3 and later 59 android 6 or later requires location permission to connect to ble blackberry os 10 60 linux 3 4 and later through bluez 5 0 61 unison os 5 2 62 macos 10 10 zephyr os technical details edit radio interface edit bluetooth low energy technology operates in the same spectrum range the 2 400 2 4835 ghz ism band as classic bluetooth technology but uses a different set of channels instead of the classic bluetooth 79 1 mhz channels bluetooth low energy has 40 2 mhz channels within a channel data is transmitted using gaussian frequency shift modulation similar to classic bluetooth s basic rate scheme the bit rate is 1 mbit s with an option of 2 mbit s in bluetooth 5 and the maximum transmit power is 10 mw 100 mw in bluetooth 5 further details are given in volume 6 part a physical layer specification of the bluetooth core specification v4 0 bluetooth low energy uses frequency hopping to counteract narrowband interference problems classic bluetooth also uses frequency hopping but the details are different as a result while both fcc and etsi

fitness etc mobile phones gaming smart homes wearables automotive pcs security proximity healthcare sports fitness industrial etc more technical details may be obtained from official specification as published by the bluetooth sig note that power consumption is not part of the bluetooth specification advertising and discovery edit ble devices are detected through a procedure based on broadcasting advertising packets this is done using 3 separate channels frequencies in order to reduce interference the advertising device sends a packet on at least one of these three channels with a repetition period called the advertising interval for reducing the chance of multiple consecutive collisions a random delay of up to 10 milliseconds is added to each advertising interval the scanner listens to the channel for a duration called the scan window which is periodically repeated every scan interval the discovery latency is therefore determined by a probabilistic process and depends on the three parameters viz the advertising interval the scan interval and the scan window the discovery scheme of ble adopts a periodic interval based technique for which upper bounds on the discovery latency can be inferred for most parametrizations while the discovery latencies of ble can be approximated by models 67 for purely periodic interval based protocols the random delay added to each advertising interval and the three channel discovery can cause deviations from these predictions or potentially lead to unbounded latencies for certain parametrizations 68 security edit bluetooth low energy has security instances such as the encrypted advertising data ead feature allowing some or all of the application data payload that is transmitted in advertising packets to be encrypted a standard mechanism for the sharing of key material between a broadcasting device and the observers that are intended to receive this data is also defined so that the data may be decrypted when received 69 all transmitted bluetooth le pdus include a cyclic redundancy check crc that is recalculated and checked by the receiving device for the possibility of the pdu having been changed in flight 69 software model edit all bluetooth low energy devices use the generic attribute profile gatt the application programming interface offered by a bluetooth low energy aware operating system will typically be based around gatt concepts 70 gatt has the following terminology client a device that initiates gatt commands and requests and accepts responses for example a computer or smartphone server a device that receives gatt commands and requests and returns responses for example a temperature sensor characteristic a data value transferred between client and server for example the current battery voltage service a collection of related characteristics which operate together to perform a particular function for instance the health thermometer service includes characteristics for a temperature measurement value and a time interval between measurements descriptor a descriptor provides additional information about a characteristic for instance a temperature value characteristic may have an indication of its units e g celsius and the maximum and minimum values which the sensor can measure descriptors are optional each characteristic can have any number of descriptors some service and characteristic values are used for administrative purposes for instance the model name and serial number can be read as standard characteristics within the generic access service services may also include other services as sub functions the main functions of the device are so called primary services and the auxiliary functions they refer to are secondary services identifiers edit services characteristics and descriptors are collectively referred to as attributes and identified by universally unique identifiers uuids any implementer may pick a random or pseudorandom uuid for proprietary uses but the bluetooth sig have reserved a range of uuids of the form xxxxxxxx 0000 1000 8000 00805f9b34fb 71 for standard attributes for efficiency these identifiers are represented as 16 bit or 32 bit values in the protocol rather than the 128 bits required for a full uuid for example the device information service has the short code 0x180a rather than 0000180a 0000 1000 the full list is kept in the bluetooth assigned numbers document online gatt operations edit the gatt protocol provides a number of commands for the client to discover information about the server these include discover uuids for all primary services find a service with a given uuid find secondary services for a given primary service discover all characteristics for a given service find characteristics matching a given uuid read all descriptors for a particular characteristic commands are also provided to read data transfer from server to client and write from client to server the values of characteristics a value may be read either by specifying the characteristic s uuid or by a handle value which is returned by the information discovery commands above write operations always identify the characteristic by handle but have a choice of whether or not a response from the server is required long read and long write operations can be used when the length of the characteristic s data exceeds the mtu of the radio link finally gatt offers notifications and indications the client may request a notification for a particular characteristic from the server the server can then send the value to the client whenever it becomes available for instance a temperature sensor server may notify its client every time it takes a measurement this avoids the need for the client to poll the server which would require the server s radio circuitry to be constantly operational an indication is similar to a notification except that it requires a response from the client as confirmation that it has received the message battery impact edit bluetooth low energy chipset power consumption when acting as a beacon as per the hitchhikers guide to ibeacon hardware by aislelabs 72 bluetooth low energy is designed to enable devices to have very low power consumption several chipmakers including cambridge silicon radio dialog semiconductor nordic semiconductor stmicroelectronics cypress semiconductor silicon labs and texas instruments had introduced bluetooth low energy optimized chipsets by 2014 devices with peripheral and central roles have different power requirements a study by beacon software company aislelabs reported that peripherals such as proximity beacons usually function for 1 2 years powered by a 1 000 mah coin cell battery 73 this is possible because of the power efficiency of bluetooth low energy protocol which only transmits small packets as compared to bluetooth classic which is also suitable for audio and high bandwidth data in contrast a continuous scan for the same beacons in central role can consume 1 000 mah in a few hours android and ios devices also have very different battery impact depending on type of scans and the number of bluetooth low energy devices in the vicinity 74 with newer chipsets and advances in software by 2014 both android and ios phones had negligible power consumption in real life bluetooth low energy use 75 2m phy edit bluetooth 5 has introduced a new transmission mode with a doubled symbol rate bluetooth le has been traditionally transmitting 1 bit per symbol so that theoretically the data...
