چکیده

Orthogonal-frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) based wireless local-area-networks (WLANs) will be implemented in the 2.4 GHz Industrial-Scientific -Medical (ISM) band. The advantages of OFDM WLANs are very high data rates, resilience to multipath and extended operating range. However, they will encounter interference from Bluetooth (BT) devices. In this paper, the co-existence issue of OFDM WLANs with BT devices is examined and the use of symbol erasures to ameliorate this interference source is proposed. Simulation results show that the combination of data rate reduction and symbol erasures helps to prevent irreducible packet error rate (PER) when the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) is low. However, depending on the data rate, there is a threshold for the number of erasures beyond which further improvements in system performance is not obtained.

An Investigation of the Impact of Bluetooth Interference on the Performance of 802.11g Wireless Local Area Networks

In recent years there has been considerable interest in the development of standards for Wireless Local Area Networks. In particular, IEEE’s 802.11 standard has now been extended to a family of WLAN standards. 802.11a and 802.11g both employ COFDM but operate in different frequency bands. The 802.11g physical layer standard specifies a link adaptive COFDM scheme for operation in the 2.4GHz ISM ...

Packet Error Rate Performance of IEEE802.11g under Bluetooth Interface

This paper approaches the issues concerning the coexistence of the IEEE 802.11g wireless networks and the ad-hoc Bluetooth networks that operate within the same 2.4 GHz band. The performance of 802.11g is evaluated by simulating the PER (Packet Error Rate) parameter and coverage area. The simulation experiments are based on the worst case scenario presumption, which entails the transmission of ...
