Abstract
The main topic of discussion in this chapter is short range radio protocols for wireless personal area network. Bluetooth is a radio based communication protocol which was initially conceived as a cable replacement technology for personal computers. It has also been increasingly used for data access and peer to peer ad hoc network connectivity. Yet, its primary use is in the domain of person centric communication such as mobile headphones, and other wearable accessories. Infrared, on the other hand, is a limited range optical wireless communication technology which provides interference free line of sight communication within a short range. IR has been used for robust connectivity between high precision equipment in avionics, medical and military hardware. The chapter provides protocol level details of both IR and Bluetooth.
