In-Device Coexistence Interference

چکیده
An emerging trend in mobile communications is the parallel usage of multiple radio technologies in mobile devices, tablets and other communications modules. In order to support this parallel operation, the devices are equipped with multiple radio transceivers, which are located extremely close to each other. When the different radio technologies operate simultaneously these transceivers interfere with each other resulting in in-device coexistence (IDC) interference. This article describes the IDC interference problem involving LTE (Band 7) and WLAN (2.4 GHz) technology and evaluates the performance of two different mitigation techniques used to reduce the interference effect.

Wireless communication platforms in small enclosures are susceptible to in-device RF interference. Difficult interference cases emerge in the next-generation 4G smartphones using certain LTE bands, and support in MAC and higher protocol layers is required for efficient interference avoidance. Interference and the avoidance mechanisms create coupling between the radios complicating the interacti...

Millimeter-wave (mm-wave) device-to-device (D2D) communication is considered one of the most promising enabling technologies to meet the demanding requirements of future networks. Previous works on mm-wave D2D network analysis mostly considered the case that all devices were equipped with exactly the same number of antennas, whereas real networks are more complicated due to the coexistence of d...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of Coexistence Interference in Multi-Radio 802.11 Platforms
We study coexistence interference that arises between multiple collocated radio interfaces on 802.11 based multi-radio platforms used for mesh networks. We show that such interference can be so severe that it prevents concurrent successful operation of collocated interfaces even when they use channels from widely different frequency bands. We propose the use of antenna polarization to mitigate ...
