I'd anticipate that, at least for Bluetooth, the devices also have a
unique identifier.  The pairing process registers the devices so they
recognise each other and the signal packets include the address so
that other devices signals can be ignored - a protocol approach.  This
will be rather more sophisticated than the remote control toys idea
which operate on different frequencies.=20=20
