Coexistence Analysis of Co-Located BLE and IEEE 802.15.4 TSCH Networks

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and IEEE 802.15.4 Time-Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) are widely used low-power standard technologies developed for short-range communications in the internet-of-things. In many applications, BLE TSCH networks may be deployed vicinity of one another, which lead to Cross Technology Interference (CTI) influencing each other's performance. Both utilize channel hopping alleviate impact external interferences. However, having a model quantitatively estimate performance coexisting analyze role networks' configuration settings is still an open problem. To address this, we provide probabilistic analysis collision-free communication networks. Moreover, fast coexistence simulation that computes ratio transmissions. This investigate how deviate from results analysis. It gives designers proper estimation worst case degradation due such coexistence. shown severity BLE-TSCH on another depends setup configurations relative timing two The show these can coexist well with ratios more than 92.58% 96.29% tested BLE, respectively.
