10. ENHANCED DATA RATE
EDR has been introduced to provide 2x and optionally 3x data rates with minimal
disruption to higher layers of the Bluetooth stack. CSR supports both of the new data
rates, with WT32. WT32 is compliant with revision v2.0.E.2 of the specification.
10.1 Enhanced Data Rate Baseband
At the baseband level, EDR uses the same 1.6kHz slot rate as basic data rate and
therefore the packets can be 1, 3, or 5 slots long as per the basic data rate. Where EDR
differs from the basic data rate is that in the same 1MHz symbol rate, 2 or 3 bits are used
per symbol, compared to 1bit per symbol used by the basic data rate. To achieve the
increase in number of bits symbol, two new modulation schemes have been introduced as
summarized in Table 24 presented below and the modulation schemes are explained in the
further sections.
Scheme Bits per symbol Modulation
Basic data rate 1 GFSK
Enhanced data rate 2 P/4 DQPSK
Enhanced data r ate 3 8DPSK (optional)
Table 24: Data rate schemes
Although the EDR uses new packets, link establishment and management are unchanged
and still use Basic Rate packets.
10.2 Enhanced Data Rate ∏/4 DQPSK
4-state Differential Phase Shift Keying
2 bits determine phase shift between consecutive symbols
2 bits determine phase shift between consecutive symbols
∏ /4 rotation avoids phase shift of ∏ , which would cause large amplitude variation
Raised Cosine pulse shaping filter to further reduce side band emissions
