Can you just use a
Bluetooth PAN profile for this, then implement everything using TCP/IP? I have little experience with Bluetooth, but I figure once you have a PAN set up, any of the server/client type programs should work no problem.
I just tried this out with a simple http server on a laptop and connected to my Galaxy S5 and it seemed to work just fine. I've read that the protocol is limit to 8 devices and 3Mbps, but that should be more than enough for simple scouting data.
