IEEE 802.15.1 OVERVIEW

The new IEEE Std 802.15.1™-2002 standard is an additional resource for those who implement Bluetooth devices.  The following 802.15.1 abstract provides more info:

Abstract: The lower transport layers (L2CAP, LMP, Baseband, and radio) of the Bluetooth™ wireless technology are defined. Bluetooth is an industry specification for short-range RF-based connectivity for portable personal devices. The IEEE has reviewed and provided a standard adaptation of the Bluetooth Specification v1.1 Foundation MAC (L2CAP, LMP, and Baseband) and PHY (Radio). Also specified is a clause on SAPs which includes a LLC/MAC interface for the ISO/IEC 8802-2 LLC. Also specified is an normative annex which provides a Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma. Also specified is a informative high level behavioral ITU-T Z.100 Specification and description language (SDL) model for an integrated Bluetooth MAC Sublayer.
