Using Bluetooth
Introduction
Bluetooth-equipped devices can communicate without wires, using frequency-hopping spread spectrum
(FHSS) 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) communications and
low power consumption.
Mobile computers 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. In
addition, a dial-up modem connection can be created between the Bluetooth mobile computer and a Bluetooth
enabled phone. The Bluetooth phone can then be used as a modem.
Symbol mobile computers with Bluetooth technology use the StoneStreet One Bluetooth stack. To program
Bluetooth within the mobile computer refer to the StoneStreet One SDK.
Adaptive Frequency Hopping
Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) is a method of avoiding fixed frequency interferers. AFH 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 can be broken-down into 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 the 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. AFH is always enabled in
the MC909X.
The Bluetooth radio in this mobile computer operates as a Class 2 device power class. The maximum output
power is 2.5mW and the expected range is up to 32.8 feet (10 meters). A definitive definition of ranges based
