49-6 Industrial Communication Systems
master.device..e.master.device.is.used.as.the.reference.for.communication.between.all.the.piconets,.
while.any.device.can.belong.to.multiple.piconets..A.piconet.oers.the.same.frequency-hopping.channel.
to.the.connected.devices.
49.2.8.2
Scatternet
Once
.a.device.belongs.to.multiple.piconets,.the.master.devices.of.the.corresponding.piconets.need.to.be.
connected.among.themselves.in.order.to.make.this.access.available,.which.ultimately.forms.a.scatternet..
e.frequency.distribution.is.simple.and.can.work.without.interfering.with.others,.as.each.piconet.is.
responsible.for.the.distribution.to.its.connected.devices.(Figure.49.2).
49.2.9 Bluetooth Security
ere.are.three.modes.of.security.for.Bluetooth.access.between.two.devices.
•
. Security.Mode.1:.Nonsecure
•
. Security.Mode.2:.Service-level.enforced.security
•
. Security.Mode.3:.Link-level.enforced.security
It
.is.the.responsibility.of.the.vendor.to.implement.the.security.mode..e.devices.have.a.two-level.
security.consisting.of.“trusted.devices”.and.“un-trusted.devices.”.e.trusted.device.can.pair.with.any.
of.the.devices.and.has.unrestricted.access.to.the.services.
ere
.are.dierent.levels.of.security.in.services.as.well,.such.as
•
. Services.that.require.authorization.and.authentication
•
. Services.that.require.authentication.only
•
. Services.that.are.open.to.all.devices
In
.general,.a.personal.identication.number.(PIN).is.selected.by.the.user,.which.must.be.a.48.bit.
number..Additionally,.a.private.link.key.(128.bit.random.numbers).and.a.private.encryption.key.(8–128.
bit).are.used.as.a.security.measure.for.data.transfer.
49.3 Bluetooth Protocol Stack
A.protocol.stack.(oen.referred.to.as.a.communications.stack).designates.a.soware.implementation.
of.a.computer.networking.protocol.suite..e.modularization.within.the.denition.(suite).of.protocols.
enhances.design.and.evaluation..ese.protocols.are.commonly.described.as.layers.in.a.stack.of.proto-
cols,
.the.lowest.protocol.always.being.the.low-level,.physical.interaction.of.the.hardware,.all.the.way.to.
