Bluetooth Link Manager Protocol (LMP) structure
General description
The Link Manager Protocol (LMP) controls and coordinates all aspects of the operation of the Bluetooth® connection between two devices. This includes setting up and controlling logical transmission and logical link and physical link control. The link manager protocol carry protocol is used for communication between the link manager (LM) of two devices connected through ACL logical transmission.
General rules
LMP information is exchanged through the ACL-C logical link, and this logical link is transmitted through the default ACL logical transmission (see Bluetooth specification baseband section 4.4 for details). The difference between ACL-C logical link and ACL-U (transmitting L2CAP and user data) lies in the logical link identifier (LLID) field transmitted in the payload header of a variable-length packet. ACL-C has a higher priority than other communications.
The LMP information is carried through the ACL-C logical link, which does not guarantee delivery or inform the time when the data packet has been received. The LMP program takes this issue into account when synchronizing the status changes of the two devices. For example, the formulated standard specifies that a reusable logical transfer address (LT_ADDR) appears due to the device leaving the piconet or entering the dormant state. Other LMP programs (such as standby and role switching) list the Bluetooth clock as a parameter to define a fixed synchronization point. Switching in or out of sniffing mode is protected by switching mode.
LMP operates according to transactions. Transaction refers to a collection of coherent information exchanges that achieve a specific purpose.
Equipment function
All functions added after the 1.1 version specification have corresponding LMP function bits. Supporting these functions in the qualification process may become "mandatory", but LM will still make these functions optional because it must interoperate with older devices that do not support these functions.
These functions are represented by bit masks when transmitting LMP information. Any version of the link manager will read the LMP function mask and use the lowest common function subset to interpret.
