In this study, we evaluate the reliability of using bluetooth wireless communication method, the industrial, scientific, and medical standards for local wireless communications, in the medical environment. For the study, an ECG measurement system using bluetooth is developed and used in various conditions of medical environment. It is found that the bluetooth communication method has shown a reliable data transmission capability when both transmitter and receiver are positioned in the same room. However, the increase of transmission distance and the existence of a wall prevent the retailable data transmission. Therefore, it is necessary to make sure if reliable data transmission is achieved for individual environments, before we use this technology.

According to a diversification of surveillance camera function, they have got to control the surveillance camera utilizing the controller or personal computer. The Method of solution is wired communications and wireless communications. But wired communications are a weak point because that need to use another cable and in case of communication system utilizing the Bluetooth universalized, there is the difficulty in the utility because electricity consumption is big. But the wireless communication utilizing the zigbee protocol is that electiricity consumption is more small than Bluetooth and reliability of data transmission is better. Therefore I designed system for control of surveillance camera with Zigbee protocol.

Communication antennas used at sea have been developed remarkably. However, the speed of this development is insufficient when compared with user demands. Therefore, we developed an antenna for UWB/Bluetooth that operates on 3 [GHz] and 5.72 [GHz] bands in order to use the high-speed communication network system which improved antenna miniaturization, gain and radiation patterns. To improve bandwidth, a microstrip patch antenna was selected and CST Microwave Studio 2014 program was used. Through the program, we calculated the slot width, length, transmission line width, etc. using a theoretical formula at each step. These figures were checked through simulation to see if they meet production standards. UWB for high-speed wireless communication for short-range communication at sea, Bluetooth for exchanging information at a short distance by connecting each device, and corresponding technology can be easily utilized.

This paper presents a Bluetooth and pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR)-based indoor fusion localization approach (BtPDR) using smartphones. A Bluetooth and PDR-based indoor fusion localization approach can localize the initial position of a smartphone with the received signal strength (RSS) of Bluetooth. While a smartphone is moving, BtPDR can track its position by fusing the localization results of PDR and Bluetooth RSS. In addition, BtPDR can adaptively modify the parameters of PDR. The contributions of BtPDR include: a Bluetooth RSS-based Probabilistic Voting (BRPV) localization mechanism, a probabilistic voting-based Bluetooth RSS and PDR fusion method, and a heuristic search approach for reducing the complexity of BRPV. The experiment results in a real scene show that the average positioning error is < 2m, which is considered adequate for indoor location-based service applications. Moreover, compared to the traditional PDR method, BtPDR improves the location accuracy by 42.6%, on average. Compared to state-of-the-art Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) fingerprint + PDR-based fusion indoor localization approaches, BtPDR has better positioning accuracy and does not need the same offline workload as a fingerprint algorithm.

The Bluetooth technology represents an attractive approach to enable short distance wireless connectivity. The Bluetooth standard operates at the 2.4 GHz ISM band and offers the advantage of establishing ad hoc networks, called piconet and scatternet. The spread of Bluetooth implementation in consumer products opens up a new short range wireless networking applications. Bluetooth MAC avoids packet collision within a piconet by simple time multiplexing. But lack of synchronization among independent neighboring piconets introduces packet overlapping within a time slot. In this paper, the wireless network throughput of Bluetooth packet transmission system applying the pure-ALOHA and slotted-ALOHA MAC is investigated according to the impact of channel environment. From the obtained results, the throughput of the Bluetooth MAC protocol shown to offer good performance in wireless channel, and the results are useful for the implementation of Bluetooth networks.

The Bluetooth Low Energy profile has the advantage of continuing wireless communication with very little power consumption compared to the existing Bluetooth, so it is widely applied to smart devices. Most of them are applied to Point-to-Point (1:1) communication between Central (Master) and Peripheral (Slave), but can be applied to Point-to-Multiple (1:N) wireless communication through the use of multiple threads and timers. Therefore, in this paper, a precise timer was designed in the BLE profile to devise an image segmentation transmission/reception structure based on multiple access, and a smart image block device applied to it was designed and verified.

There are various researches on MPEG techniques. MPEG technique is used to digital TV(DTV) and internet image communication. Connection method between server and client is usually using wire. Applications may be expanded, if wireless technology is used between server and client system. In this paper, Bluetooth is used for connection method between server and client. Bluetooth offers fast and reliable transmissions of both voice and data over the globally available 2.4GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. One of the major application purposes of Bluetooth is the cable replacement for mobile and peripheral devices. Bluetooth has the advantage of small size, low power and low cost. It has the disadvantage of limited bandwidth and limited range. In order to transfer effectively image Information between server and client using Bluetooth, we apply MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 image compression techniques and the results are compared with each other.

An LED lighting control system was developed to combine information technology and LED lights for efficient management and energy savings. The system can monitor and control the status of an LED luminaire using Bluetooth wireless communication, sensor technology, and smart phones. An LED lighting control circuit was designed using a temperature sensor, illumination sensor, and Bluetooth module with a fuzzy constant-current control circuit. We extended the lifetime and prevented damage to the LED by optimizing the supply current of the LED luminaire based on the heat-generation temperature of $70^{\circ}C$ of an LED heat sink. We also automatically adjusted the ON/OFF time depending on the ambient illumination of the LED luminaire. By allowing easy control of the LED luminaires on a smartphone, we improved the efficiency and achieved energy savings. The control system was validated through experiments for normal operation.
