Audio/Video Remote Control
Profile (AVRCP)
Allows the device to control A/V equipment to which a user has
access. It may be used in concert with A2DP.
Personal Area Network (PAN) Allows the use of Bluetooth Network Encapsulation Protocol to
provide L3 networking capabilities over a Bluetooth link. Only PANU
role is supported.
Human Interface Device Profile
(HID)
Allows Bluetooth keyboards, pointing devices, gaming devices and
remote monitoring devices to connect to the device.
Headset Profile (HSP) Allows a hands-free device, such as a Bluetooth headset, to place
and receive calls on the device.
Hands-Free Profile (HFP) Allows car hands-free kits to communicate with the device in the car.
Phone Book Access Profile
(PBAP)
Allows exchange of Phone Book Objects between a car kit and a
mobile device to allow the car kit to display the name of the incoming
caller; allow the car kit to download the phone book so the user can
initiate a call from the car display.
Out of Band (OOB) Allows exchange of information used in the pairing process. Pairing
is completed using the Bluetooth radio, but requires information from
the OOB mechanism. Using OOB with NFC enables pairing when
devices simply get close, rather than requiring a lengthy discovery
process.
Symbol Serial Interface (SSI) Allows for communication with Bluetooth Imager.
File Transfer Profile (FTP) Provides the capability to browse, manipulate and transfer files in
file system of another system. Uses GOEP as a basis.
Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) Provides profile discovery and description services for Bluetooth
Low Energy protocol. It defines how attributes are grouped together
into sets to form services.
HID Over GATT Profile (HOGP) Defines the procedures and features used by Bluetooth low energy
HID Devices using GATT and Bluetooth HID Hosts using GATT.
Scan Parameters Profile (ScPP) Provides devices with information to assist them in managing their
connection idle timeout and advertising parameters to optimize for
power consumption and/or reconnection latency.
Message Access Profile (MAP) Defines the features and procedures used by devices that exchange
message objects.
Dial Up Networking (DUN) Provides a standard to access the Internet and other dial-up
services over Bluetooth.
Generic Access Profile (GAP) Use for device discovery and authentication.
OBject EXchange (OBEX) Facilitates the exchange of binary objects between devices.
Generic Object Exchange Profile
(GOEP)
Provides a basis for other data profiles. Based on OBEX.
Generic Audio/Video Distribution
Profile (GAVDP)
Provides the basis for A2DP and VDP, the basis of the systems
designed for distributing video and audio streams using Bluetooth
technology.
