Broadband Wireless and Bluetooth

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses the current state of wireless computing by analyzing access techniques, frequency spectrums and architectural considerations. The paper also highlights how there are entirely new, high bandwidth applications on the horizon that will make it possible to send and receive digital content including streaming video in real-time before the end of the decade.

Executive Summary
Fundamentals of Broadband Wireless and Bluetooth

From the Paper:

"In analyzing both broadband wireless and Bluetooth technologies, it's important to anchor the analysis first by the current state of wireless computing, analyzing market characteristics according to three dominant functional areas including access techniques, frequency spectrum and system architecture attributes and components of a given system. These three factors comprise the current foundation of the both broadband wireless and the adoption of Bluetooth globally (Diegel, Bright, Potgieter, 170 - 174).
"Broadband wireless and Bluetooth technologies share a common series of access techniques that encompass four dominant multiplexing standards forms the foundation of wireless computing platforms (Fantacci, Vannuccini, Vestri, 20 - 24). These include code-division multiplexing (CDM), frequency-division multiplexing (FDM), space-division multiplexing (SDM) and time-division multiplexing (TDM). Broadband wireless and Bluetooth technologies each support these four access techniques, yet Bluetooth differs from broadband wireless in its approach to defining a highly unique packet architecture which is specifically designed to allow for more efficient network traffic."
