Abstract
Simply stated, Bluetooth is a wireless communication protocol. As such, you would use Bluetooth to communicate to two or more other Bluetooth-capable devices. In this sense, Bluetooth is like any other communication protocol that you may use every day like HTTP, FTP, SMTP, or IMAP. Bluetooth is also like these protocols in that it has a client-server architecture. In Bluetooth, the one who initiates the connection (the client) is the master, and the one who receives the connection (the server) is the slave.
