Abstract

A method for enhancing the Bluetooth transmission speed and robustness of an emitting end and a receiving end is provided. The method is utilized in a system having an emitting end and a receiving end, wherein at least one of the emitting and receiving ends is provided with BlueSPEED-PSK or BlueSPEED-DELTA-PSK (adapted Gray coded D16PSK) modulation with optional FEC.

receiving the data packets at the receiving end; and

de-modulating the data packets at the receiving end, which includes the steps of:

reading the respective phase information in the data packet,

searching and obtaining the 4-bit symbols corresponding to the respective phase information according to BlueSPEED-PSK or BlueSPEED-DELTA-PSK,

interpreting the 4 bits contained in the respective 4-bits symbols, and

identifying BlueSPEED-PSK and BlueSPEED-DELTA-PSK transmission using (4-bits) CRC (cyclic redundancy check) applied to blocks of bits formed by every 4th bit in the bit stream.
