Communication and Connection
The advent of Bluetooth in the mobile or cellphone industry has made the spread of quick and very effective communication possible. Communication and connection through the network of Bluetooth is very easy and after the advent of bluetooth as a very useful component used in the computer hardware, communication and connection between the different devices like from cellphone to laptop or from Personal computer to laptop has become easier than ever. This network connecting a group of eight devices has been termed as Piconet.
Successful use of Piconet communicational network in the computer network by the help of Bluetooth technology is very important. The idea of master device and slave device is associated with Bluetooth technology. Using the Bluetooth technology one master device can connect with seven other slave devices. This communication is made possible by the use of three-bit MAC address. By the use of this technology a total number of 255 different slave devices can be made active by the slave device. Master device can change the status of the slave devices by making them active any time.

Communication and connection by the use of Piconet has become very effective as a Piconet has a range of 10meter within which this wonderful system can work. The rate of transfer of data transferred between the different devices is within the range of 400 to 700kbit/s. This rate of transfer depends on the type of connection used in the communication and connection process. There are 2 kinds of connections used in this communication and connection process. One is synchronous communication and connection process and another is asynchronous communication and connection process.

By using the communication and connection process data can be transferred from one master computer to another slave computer very quickly. Though its is true that the computers or other devices can very quickly change their roles. The master device can quickly take the shape of the slave computer and the slave can start to make other devices control and thus become a master device.

Communication and connection using Bluetooth often uses another very useful technology Scatternet. This is the technology which makes the combined work of a few devices connected with Piconets possible. In this system of Scatternet some devices can work as both master devices and also slave devices. This unique device used in the communication and connection of Bluetooth wireless technology started in the year 2007.

Many kinds of Bluetooth universal serial bass are available in the market to be used as adapter. Among the Bluetooth adapters IrDA adfapters are also effective as a mean of communication. Infrared Data Association is a kind of Bluetooth which makes the exchange of data from one device to another possible by the exchange of inrared waves. Previously the Bluetooth adapters could offer only a very few services. Communication and connection done by older version of Bluetooth mainly include less-effective Bluetooth radio incarnation and Bluetooth enumerator. Communication and connection made by the earlier version of Bluetooth was not so effective as the Bluetooth of the current version.
