The IEEE earns their revenue from publishing. This is seven (7) Layer Protocol Pocket Book not a MAC/PHY Pocket Book.] Purpose:[The IEEE has expressed interest in publishing a Bluetooth Protocol IEEE Pocket Guide. This roadmap is provided to the IEEE as an IEEE P802.15 MC contribution for their review. Additionally, this roadmap is being forwarded to the Bluetooth Marketing Working Group for their review as well.] Notice:This document has been prepared to assist the IEEE P802.15. It is offered as a basis for discussion and is not binding on the contributing individual(s) or organization(s). The material in this document is subject to change in form and content after further study. The contributor(s) reserve(s) the right to add, amend or withdraw material contained herein. Release:The contributor acknowledges and accepts that this contribution becomes the property of IEEE and may be made publicly available by P802.15.

4. doc.: IEEE 802.15-00/057r0 Submission March 2000 Ian Gifford, M/A-COM, Inc.Slide 4 Summary Publish an IEEE Pocket Guide on the Bluetooth Protocol by June 2000. Focus deliverable on the entire Bluetooth Version 1.0 Specification Foundation Core And the Generic Access Profile Bluetooth Version 1.0 Specification Foundation Profiles The Bluetooth SIG has existing source materials e.g., Specifications, White Papers, etc. that can provide 80-90% of the content for a IEEE Pocket Guide. The IEEE will need to provide Technical Editors to finish the Guide 10-20%. We can do this!

5. doc.: IEEE 802.15-00/057r0 Submission March 2000 Ian Gifford, M/A-COM, Inc.Slide 5 Assumptions IEEE has a Pocket Guide format or outline that provides readers easier access to specifications & standards e.g., “Bluetooth For Dummies”, etc. IEEE has Technical Editors and Program Management resources to apply to this project Bluetooth SIG will allow access to copyright text and confidential documents Bluetooth SIG will provide enough information on the planning of Specification revisions such that the Pocket Book is accurate and can be easily updated The exiting Bluetooth-IEEE Copyright License Agreement will extend to cover Bluetooth documents beyond the Core & Profiles documents. Is this true?

Dan Sönnerstam’s “Comprehensive Decription of the Bluetooth System is out of date but I think the Pocket Guide could utilize this White Paper as well as the Specifications, et. al. to generate the baseline text for the draft Pocket Guide. There is a disclaimer and Copyright notice on the bottom of page 2. We will need to resolve this.
