Bluetooth Power States
The Bluetooth radio is off by default:
• Suspend - When the device goes into suspend mode, the Bluetooth radio stays on.
• Airplane Mode - When the device is placed in Airplane Mode, the Bluetooth radio turns off. When Airplane
mode is disabled, the Bluetooth radio returns to the prior state. When in Airplane Mode, the Bluetooth radio
can be turned back on if desired.
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.
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.
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.
