TL;DR: The use of ASN.1 + ECN was shown to be fully capable of specifying the bits-on-the-line required by the approved Bluetooth specification, and some areas where the current Bluetooth specification lacks precision were identified --- noticeably in areas concerned with "extensibility".
Abstract: This paper describes the work undertaken, and evaluates the results produced, in a project that applied ASN.1 and its newly developed Encoding Control Notation to the Bluetooth Service Discovery Protocol. The use of ASN.1 + ECN was shown to be fully capable of specifying the bits-on-the-line required by the approved Bluetooth specification, and identified some areas where the current Bluetooth specification lacks precision --- noticeably in areas concerned with "extensibility".
TL;DR: A number of the problems associated with the definition of transfer syntax are described and a possible solution to these issues involving the development of an advanced encoding control notation is discussed.
Abstract: At present although the abstract structure of a protocol message can be formally defined, the actual format of the bits transmitted on the line or through the air cannot be formally specified The small number of standardised encoding rules available are only defined in informal text and in many application domains such as radio interfaces, they do not satisfy today’s requirements for very efficient transmission of information This paper describes a number of the problems associated with the definition of transfer syntax and then discusses a possible solution to these issues involving the development of an advanced encoding control notation
