to communicate with dragons, as Sauron was a servant of Morgoth and Morgoth used many dragons in his battles.
If Sauron or Morgoth are able to forge magical rings and devices such as Palantirs, there's no doubt they can forge other devices not obligatory revealed to the knowledge of passers-by, including Tolkien's readers 
In the movie, PJ shows that Smaug has more than a hint of the possession of the Ring by Bilbo, and he introduces a discussion between Bilbo and Smaug where Smaug explicitely considers the interest of letting Thorin get the Arkenstone and turn mad.
Considering the Ring itself Smaug may also deliberately chose to let Bilbo keep it during his inquiry, for the bearer of such Ring may become or be a creature in the hands of Sauron. That's why Smaug needs to seek further about Bilbo, his intentions and capacities : don't forget that Smaug bows to no one, including Sauron.
An interesting hypothesis would be to explore the Will of the Ring itself. Why in the first place did it 'decide' to leave Gollum as soon as another Hobbit approached ? Bilbo bearing the Ring which helped him to save the dwarves almost eaten by the spiders could be instrumental... for the Ring to subtly approach Smaug (giving Bilbo the 'courage' to do so) and provoke his attack against Laketown.
Only the death of Smaug, killed by Bard, couldn't be anticipated by Sauron... unless Sauron decided to attack whatever the outcome of Smaug's attack, since other dragons had been killed before by the hands of human heroes.
