藍芽是一種用來形成個人無線區域網路的新興通訊技術，已經被運用包含在Internet Protocol (IP)、或者非IP協定的各種用途上。然而對於藍芽微網上主裝置（master）與從屬裝置（slave）間的連線，現有的媒體存取控制（Medium Access Control）層只能提供儘力傳送（best-effort）的服務。因為藍芽的媒體存取控制是以主裝置為中心的分時多工運作，所以要如何提供服務品質將會是一個問題。而且藍芽標準中並未提到如何來達到對服務品質的需求。之前有相關的研究嘗試去解決這樣的問題，但他們提出的方法必須修改既有的藍芽標準及硬體裝置。針對上述之情形，吾人認為如果要解決此一問題，至少應具備：(1)能實際運用在既有的藍芽硬體裝置上，毋須修改藍芽標準 (2)對不同協定能提供不同程度的服務品質 (3)能夠不更動從屬裝置，以便容易佈署。
　　在這篇論文中，我們提出一個在主裝置的Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol層中的政策性資源管理機制，此機制在不修改既有的藍芽標準及藍芽硬體裝置之情形下，對於各種用途的協定，提供不同等級的服務品質。雛型已經在Linux平台上實作並測試。實驗結果顯示我們的機制能調節特定類別的協定，使其流量不超過設定的上限值，提供予其他協定更多的頻寬，同時總頻寬損失不超過5%。

　　Bluetooth is a promising wireless technology to form the personal area network and is being applied in versatile areas including both IP and non-IP protocol services. The current existing Medium Access Control (MAC) scheduling scheme only provides best-effort for all master-slave connections. Because the feature of master driven Time Division Duplex (TDD), it is a challenge to provide Quality of Service (QoS) in the Bluetooth piconet. Besides, the Bluetooth standard doesn’t address how to meet the QoS requirements. Previous studies have been addressed this issue, however all woks of these approaches require to modify the existing Bluetooth specification and devices. To solve the problem, some requirements must be met: (1) practicability for the existing Bluetooth specification and devices, (2) differential treatment in accordance with protocol services, (3) easy deployment without any changes to slaves.
　　In this thesis, a policy-based resource management scheme is proposed in the Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol (L2CAP) layer of master to provide QoS for both IP and non-IP packets on existing devices without any modification of Bluetooth specification. The prototype is implemented and tested in Linux platform. Experimental results show that our scheme regulates the traffic of specific protocol services under the predefined constrained rate and offers more bandwidth for others in Bluetooth piconet. Meanwhile, the tradeoff of total bandwidth utilization is less than 5%.
