(AM_ADDR) address and occasionally listen to the traffic of the master to
resynchronize and check on broadcast messages. This mode has the lowest
duty cycle (power efficiency) of the three power-saving modes (sniff, hold,
and park).
PDU
Acronym for Protocol Data Unit (that is, a message).
Physical Channel
Synchronized RF hopping in a piconet.
Physical Link
Connection between devices.
Piconet
A wireless network formed by two or more Bluetooth devices.
POLL Packet
Similar to the NULL packet, except it requires a confirmation from the
destination. Upon reception of a POLL packet, the slave must respond with a
packet.
Profile
Application that a Bluetooth device facilitates. For one device to communi-
cate with another, the two devices must have a shared profile. For example,
to transfer files from one computer to another, both computers must feature
the file transfer profile.
Protocol Stack
Allows devices to locate, connect to, and exchange data with each other and
to execute interoperable, interactive applications against each other. The
stack is logically partitioned into three groups: transport protocol, middle-
ware protocol, and application group.
RFCOMM
Serial Cable Emulation Protocol based on ETSI TS 07.10. (European
Telecommunications Standards Institute).
RX
Abbreviation for receive.
Scatternet
Multiple independent and nonsynchronized piconets form a scatternet.
SDP (Service Discovery Protocol)
SDP is a Bluetooth-defined protocol provided for or available through a
Bluetooth device. This protocol essentially is a means for applications to
discover which services are available and to determine the characteristics of
those available services.
