Abstract

Wireless Internet access based on wireless LAN or Bluetooth networks will become popular within the next years. New services will be offered that especially make use of location and personal profile to filter Internet access. Moreover "push" services will allow the unsolicited event based information transfer depending on user configurations. We have introduced such services "The Mobile Fairguide" during CeBIT 2001 in a Bluetooth network that covered a full hall of 25000 m/sup 2/ with 130 base-stations. The content was generated from the official CeBIT database. We were able to show that Bluetooth is a usable technology for such applications especially if PDA are used as terminal devices. Moreover we tested our architecture in a real live scenario especially with respect to scalability and mobility. The additional services like guiding, alarming and broadcasting were offered and appreciated by the visitor. The remaining problems resulting from missing protocols and faults in the base-band implementation of the selected chip-set have been fixed in the meantime.

基于蓝牙的室内热点无线互联网应用:在CeBIT 2001期间的成功实验经验

基于无线局域网或蓝牙网络的无线互联网接入将在未来几年内普及。新的服务将提供，特别是利用位置和个人资料来过滤互联网访问。此外，“推送”服务将根据用户配置允许基于非请求事件的信息传输。在CeBIT 2001期间，我们在一个覆盖整个大厅25000米/平方英尺的蓝牙网络中引入了“移动Fairguide”服务，其中有130个基站。内容来自CeBIT官方数据库。我们能够证明蓝牙技术在这些应用中是一种有用的技术，特别是当PDA被用作终端设备时。此外，我们在一个真实的场景中测试了我们的架构，特别是在可伸缩性和移动性方面。导游、报警、广播等附加服务得到了游客的好评。同时，所选芯片组的基带实现中由于协议缺失和故障导致的遗留问题也得到了修复。
