Which wireless protocol is associated with Bluetooth technology?

802.11b
802.15
802.11n
802.11g

The correct answer is: 802.15

The choice associated with Bluetooth technology is indeed linked to the 802.15 specification. This standard outlines the protocols for short-range wireless connectivity and is designed for personal area networks (PAN). Bluetooth operates within this standard, allowing various devices to communicate wirelessly over short distances, typically within a range of about 10 meters. In contrast, the other options pertain to wireless local area networks (WLAN) and are part of the 802.11 family of protocols. These are primarily used for networking and internet access over broader distances, focusing on higher data rates and connectivity capabilities compared to the short-range approach of Bluetooth. Specifically, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n address different generations and improvements in wireless LAN technology, but none are suitable for Bluetooth functionality.
