Abstract

This paper describes the Bluetooth radio technology as an enabling platform to wirelessly stream audio content from hotspots to small form factor mobile devices over short ranges. The paper has been derived from my Mphil thesis based on streaming voice over Internet protocol over Bluetooth links. One can imagine a scenario of a person with a Bluetooth enabled mobile telephone streaming Moving Picture Expert Group-1 Layer 3 (MP3) music files to their mobile from a nearby access point in a cafe, bus, pub, taxi, train et al. Each file uploaded would be stored in the mobile phone limited by storage. Prior to downloading a MP3 file a micro payment could be made to purchase the track. The individual could also listen to music without making any payment and make voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) voice calls at a fraction of the cost of carrier networks.
