Introduction
>>> 1.1 MP54GBT3 (MS-6855C) - Wireless 11g +
Bluetooth Combo MiniPCI Card
MSI MP54GBT3, the Wireless 11g + Bluetooth Combo miniPCI Card, is a Type IIIB card, which can be used to integrate with such systems as notebook, mini-barebone, PDA, portable PC. With MSI MP54GBT3 embedded inside, a system could pro­vide users with the ability and flexibility to connect up to Internet wirelessly via 802.11g with speed up to 54Mbps, and to link with peripherals wirelessly through BluetoothTM v2.0 and ad­vanced EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) technology. Bluetooth v2.0 technology increases the data rate of BluetoothTM v1.1/1.2 from 1.0Mbps to 2.1Mbps.
MSI MP54GBT3 is taking advantage of leading technologies from Ralink and CSR. It addresses the co-existence issues in PAN (Personal Area Network) and WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) markets by providing true simultaneous connectivity while deploying IEEE 802.11g and Bluetooth v2.0 Along with this combo solution, a system installed with a single card is able to offer dual mode capability of WiFi and BluetoothTM. It will benefit system vendors in miniaturization of system dimension and BOM cost reduction, as well as also make users happy with the all-in-one functionality.

>>> 1.2 How MP54GBT3 Works
In WLAN Environment1.2.1 Ad-hoc Mode : An Ad-hoc network is a local area network or
other small network, especially one with wireless or temporary plug-in connections, in which some of the network devices are part of the network only for the duration of a communications session. Users in the network can share files, print to a shared printer, and access the Internet with a shared modem. In this kind of network, new devices can be quickly added; however, users can only communicate with other wireless LAN comput­ers that are in this wireless LAN workgroup, and are within range.

Infrastructure Mode : The difference between Infrastructure network and Ad-hoc network is that the former one includes an Access Point. In an Infrastructure network, the Access Point can manage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth utilization. Addi­tionally, the Access Point enables users on a wireless LAN to access an existing wired network, allowing wireless users to take advantage of the wired networks resources, such as Internet, email, file transfer, and printer sharing. The scale and range of the Infrastructure networking are larger and wider than that of the Ad-hoc networking.

In Bluetooth Connection
1.2.2
The term Bluetooth refers to a worldwide standard for the wireless exchange of data between two devices. In order to ex­change data, two Bluetooth devices must establish a connection. Before a connection is established, one device must request a connection with another. The second device accepts (or rejects) the connection. The originator of the request is known as the client. The device that accepts (or rejects) the request is known as the server. Many Bluetooth devices can act as both client and server. Every Bluetooth device that provides a service must be prepared to respond to a connection request. Bluetooth soft­ware is always running in the background on the server, ready to respond to connection requests.
