Bluetooth MAC Protocol
n Error correction:
1/3 rate forward error correction code (FEC)
n for SCO only
2/3 rate forward error correction code FEC
Automatic repeat request (ARQ) scheme for data
n data transmitted in one slot is directly acknowledged by the recipient
in the next slot.
n  Authentication and Privacy
one-way, two-way, or no authentication possible
use stream cipher based on secret keys (0, 40, 64 bits)
key management left to higher layer software
if stronger protection (longer key is needed), use better encryption
at network and/or application level
