[ad_1] The system can protect against selective jamming. For example, explained the University, Bluetooth LE has per-packet hopping across 80 1MHz channels, hopping every 612μs “but attackers can locate the channel during the first 1μs and then jam the packet”, allowing them to over-write the data in the remainder of packet”. Also, with BLE modulation,Read more about Frequency hopping once per bit foils hackers[…]
