Abstract

Bluetooth is a short range operating technology that helps in the exchange of data. Faster and efficient communications using a Bluetooth device is mandatory, since it has resource limitations. Service discovery delays pose a major problem when considering the Bluetooth devices. Our paper provides a comparative study that discusses efficient mechanisms to reduce these delays by providing a better service discovery process. Further, we also discuss mechanisms that help improve the power consumption.
