Piconet A collection of devices connected via Bluetooth wireless technology in
an ad hoc fashion. A piconet starts with two connected devices, such as a portable
PC and an Access Point, and may expand to eight connected devices. All Bluetooth
devices are peer units and have identical implementations. However, when
establishing a piconet, one unit will act as a master and the other(s) as slave(s) for
the duration of the piconet connection. All devices have the same physical channel
utilizing the same Frequency-hopping sequence, defined by the master device
clock and the Bluetooth Device Address.

Radio Signal Strength Bluetooth operates on the 2.4G ISM band. The radio
signal is stronger when the remote device is closer or the remote device has a
higher radio output. The radio signal is weak when the remote device is distant or
the remote device has a weak radio output. The strength of the remote device's
radio signal affects the quality of the communication of the two Bluetooth devices.
When the radio signal is weak, the Bluetooth data transfer speed is slow. However,
if the two devices are too close and the radio signal is too strong, the Bluetooth
data transfer speed is also slow because the "sound" is too loud to "hear". The radio
signal strength is always referred to as RSSI in Bluetooth.
Remote Bluetooth Device My Bluetooth device sees all other Bluetooth
enabled devices as remote Bluetooth devices. For example, a Bluetooth modem,
Bluetooth mobiles or a Bluetooth PDA .
Start Bluetooth Service Start the selected Bluetooth service. Only after the
service is started, can other devices browse the service and connect to it.
Stop Bluetooth Service Stop the selected Bluetooth service. After the service
is stopped, other devices cannot browse the service or connect to it. The existing
connection will be disconnected.
