WAEA Discussions Jeffrey Schiffer Intel Corporation 11/5/99
Agenda • Program Overview • Implementation Details • Regulatory Discussion • Next Steps
Bluetooth Overview • Started as Ericsson Product Called MC-Link • SIG formed Oct. 1997, Ericsson, Nokia, Intel, IBM, Toshiba • Official Announcement May 20, 1998 • Presently over 1100 Adopters of the Technology • First Products Available 1H’00
Harald Blaatand (“Bluetooth”) II • King of Denmark 940-981 • Son of Gorm the Old • Introduced Christianity to Viking World • United all of Denmark and Norway • This is one of two Runic stones he erected in his capitol city of Jellings (central Jutland) • This is the front of the stone depicting the chivalry of Harald. • The stone’s inscription say: • Harald christianized the Danes • Harald controlled Denmark and Norway • Harald thinks notebooks and cellular phones should be seamlessly connected
Bluetooth Program • Bluetooth is a cable replacement with seamless interoperability between devices • Goes where users go (global use, 2.4 GHz ISM Band) • Short range, low cost, low power • Huge interest/acceptance of Bluetooth with > 1100 adopters of the technology today • IP open space specification • IBM, Toshiba, Ericsson, Nokia, Motorola, Qualcomm, HP, 3Com, Dell, Compaq, Sony, Saab, NTT DoCoMo • Everyone feels that they can play, with huge potential volumes
Bluetooth is a Cable Replacement • Problem Bluetooth Solves: • Too many wires and connectors • Portable devices don’t work well together • No “anywhere” seamless connectivity
Bluetooth Vision Landline Personal Ad-hoc Networks Cable Replacement Data/Voice Access Points
Bluetooth Radio Characteristics • Fast Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum System • 1600 Hops per second • Hops over 79 MHz bandwidth (2.402-2.480 GHz) • 1 MHz Channel Width • 1 MS/s Air Data Rate • Asymmetrical 720K bps, 56K bps • Symmetrical 432K bps each direction
Program Status • The Bluetooth SIG published revision 1.0 of the Specification in July • Product announcements will began at Telecom ’99 • Consumer products available 1H’00 • Many different product types will be available at product introduction
Frequency Harmonization • Three main focus geographies: US, Europe, Japan • US – FCC – Concept approved, waiting for formal submittals • Europe – R&TTE – Rules in effect 4/00. The Bluetooth SIG will file in individual countries • Japan – MPT/JATE – Proposal before Diet, laws changing to allow Bluetooth operation • Other countries around the world will be contacted starting in August
Airline Regulatory Activities • Key Messages • Globalization • EMI Analysis • Bluetooth Regulatory Testing • Avionics Compatibility Plans
Key Messages • The Bluetooth SIG is working with regulatory bodies (FAA, JAA) and airlines worldwide to develop a compliant solution. • The RTCA report RTCA/DO-233 will be used as a basis for EMI testing, and EMC analysis. • Intend to work with airline industry to perform ground based and in-flight aircraft testing of Bluetooth systems.
Globalization • Initial regulatory activities focused on the following geographies: • North America (FAA [RTCA], FCC [part 15, …]) • EU (ETSI, [EN300-440, ETS 300-342, 300-328, …]) • Japan (MPT/JATE) • Bluetooth SIG has engaged a multi-national certification company to address/define country specific regulations. (Data on 110 countries)
EMI Analysis • Bluetooth SIG has hired a former RTCA and PED committee member as a consultant to: • Develop a Bluetooth EMI profile model. • Evaluate the EMI profile against the RTCA developed models, to identify possible areas of further investigation. • Evaluate Bluetooth’s interaction with specific aircraft subsystems (i.e. GPS, navigation). • Develop aircraft compatibility Test procedures.
Bluetooth Regulatory Testing • The Bluetooth SIG will have complete EMI data taken on Bluetooth modules in accordance with the RTCA DO-233 methods. Done - August ‘99 • Multiple certification test companies will take independent data to ensure comprehensive testing has occurred • FCC, and ETSI certificates will be provided for each module user.
Avionics Compatibility Plans • The Bluetooth SIG is working closely with the Aviation and Airline Industry to test/evaluate Bluetooth Systems on ground and in-flight based aircraft. • Test methodology will provide empirical validation of safety margins. • Results will allow extrapolation to other aircraft types and other aircraft systems.
Work with the FAA • Presently working with the FAA to evaluate propagation characteristics at 2.4GHz on aircraft • Study Includes: In-Cabin propagation and baggage to cabin path loss data • Report to be published on the Bluetooth Web Site
Objectives of FAA Test • Assess Propagation Loss at 2.45 GHz • Assess Polarization Loss • Assess Multipath Fading • Use results to evaluate Bluetooth performance in Aircraft • Use results to compare Bluetooth with PEDs
Bluetooth Performance • Losses comparable to free space • Minimal screening by cabin furniture • Cabin wide communications at 0 dBm • 80% of hops unfaded
Summary • Bluetooth SIG is working proactively with regulatory agencies worldwide • Working with the FAA/JAA to ensure compatibility and safe coexistence with avionics systems • Modeling Bluetooth EMI profile • Testing to RTCA methodology • Working with airlines to perform ground and in-flight based aircraft testing of Bluetooth Systems • We want you to participate
