baseband protocol (Bluetooth)

The Baseband Protocol belongs to the Bluetooth core protocols and is located in the Bluetooth protocol stack below the Link Manager layer with the Link Manager Protocol( LMP).

The baseband protocol of this manager layer realizes the RF connections in a piconet. The packet-switched RF transmission operates according to the frequency hopping system( FHSS) with defined time slots. Bluetooth distinguishes between asynchronous connectionless transmission, Asynchronous Connectionless Link( ACL), and synchronous connection-oriented transmission, Synchronous Connection Oriented Link( SCO).
