Using Bluetooth
Introduction
Bluetooth-equipped devices can communicate without wires, using frequency-hopping spread spectrum
(FHSS) radio frequency (RF) to transmit and receive data in the 2.4 GHz Industry Scientific and Medical (ISM)
band (802.15.1). Bluetooth wireless technology is specifically designed for short-range (30 feet/10 meters)
communication and low power consumption.
EDAs with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information (e.g., files, appointments, and tasks) with other
Bluetooth enabled devices such as phones, printers, access points, and other mobile computers. To use the
Bluetooth phone as a modem, create a dial-up modem connection between the Bluetooth mobile computer
and a Bluetooth enabled phone.
Symbol mobile computers with Bluetooth technology use the StoneStreet Bluetooth stack. To program
Bluetooth within the EDA refer to the Microsoft Embedded Visual C++ help.
Adaptive Frequency Hopping
Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) is a method of avoiding fixed frequency interferers, and can be used with
Bluetooth voice. All devices in the piconet (Bluetooth network) must be AFH-capable in order for AFH to work.
There is no AFH when connecting and discovering devices. Avoid making Bluetooth connections and
discoveries during critical 802.11b communications. AFH for Bluetooth consists of four main sections:
•
Channel Classification - A method of detecting an interference on a channel-by-channel basis, or
pre-defined channel mask.
•
Link Management - Coordinates and distributes the AFH information to the rest of the Bluetooth network.
•
Hop Sequence Modification - Avoids interference by selectively reducing the number of hopping
channels.
•
Channel Maintenance - A method for periodically re-evaluating the channels.
When AFH is enabled, the Bluetooth radio “hops around” (instead of through) the 802.11b high-rate channels.
AFH coexistence allows Symbol mobile computers to operate in any infrastructure.
The Bluetooth radio in this EDA operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output power is
2.5mW and the expected range is 32.8 feet (10 meters). A definition of ranges based on power class is difficult
to obtain due to power and device differences, and whether one measures open space or closed office space.
NOTE It is not recommended to perform Bluetooth wireless technology inquiry when high rate 802.11b operation
is required.

Security
The current Bluetooth specification defines security at the link level. Application-level security is not specified.
This allows application developers to define security mechanisms tailored to their specific need. Link-level
security occurs between devices, not users, while application-level security can be implemented on a per-user
basis. The Bluetooth specification defines security algorithms and procedures needed to authenticate devices,
and if needed, encrypt the data flowing on the link between the devices. Device authentication is a mandatory
feature of Bluetooth while link encryption is optional.
Pairing of Bluetooth devices is accomplished by creating an initialization key that is used to authenticate the
devices and create a link key for them. Entering a common PIN number in the devices being paired generates
the initialization key. The PIN number is never sent over the air. By default, the Bluetooth stack responds with
no key when a key is requested (it is up to user to respond to the key request event). Authentication of
Bluetooth devices is based-upon a challenge-response transaction. Bluetooth allows for a PIN number or
passkey that is used to create other 128-bit keys used for security and encryption. The encryption key is
derived from the link key used to authenticate the pairing devices. Also worthy of note is the limited range and
fast frequency hopping of the Bluetooth radios that makes long-distance eavesdropping difficult.
Recommendations are:
•
Perform pairing in a secure environment
•
Keep PIN codes private and don't store the PIN codes in the mobile computer
•
Implement application-level security.
Turning the Bluetooth Radio Mode On and Off
Turn off the Bluetooth radio to save power or if entering an area with radio restrictions (e.g., an airplane). When
the radio is off, other Bluetooth devices cannot see or connect to the EDA. Turn on the Bluetooth radio to
exchange information with other Bluetooth devices (within range). Communicate only with Bluetooth radios in
close proximity.
NOTE To achieve the best battery life in EDAs with multiple radios, turn off radios not in use.
