چکیده

Spectrum scarcity is known to be main obstacle to scaling of wireless network capacity. Spectrum sharing is a solution to this problem. The unlicensed ISM band is getting crowded by WLAN and WPAN users and devices. Spectrum sharing within the devices of same network is not a problem. But coexistence of WLAN and WPAN (eg: WiFi and ZigBee) is a challenging problem. Spectrum sharing among these networks will surely improve spectrum utilization .WiFi and ZigBee uses 2.4 GHz ISM band. Different methods had been adopted to improve the coexistence of ZigBee and WiFi .Some methods are discussed here. Each of them has some disadvantages .To tackle these challenges a new system called WiseBee is used which help in the coexistence of ZigBee and WiFi. It uses a single antenna sink without changing WiFi and ZigBee design .The sink works in following steps: The signal from the RF front end will be processed firstly .If the WiFi interference is detected, system will process the WiFi decoding and use decoded data for accurate channel coefficient estimation .After that, the WiFi signal is removed by interference cancellation module, where the residual signal can be used for ZigBee decoding. Then we find out a channel for ZigBee transmission.

A Review on Techniques for Establishing Coexistence between WiFi and Zigbee

The ISM spectrum is becoming increasingly populated by emerging wireless networks. Spectrum sharing among the same network of devices can be arbitrated by MAC protocols (e.g., CSMA), but the coexistence between heterogeneous networks remains a challenge. The disparate power levels, asynchronous time slots, and incompatible PHY layers of heterogeneous networks severely degrade the effectiveness ...

Improving ZigBee Networks Robustness with Multi-channel Capability

Based on IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee is developed for low-power and low-data-rate wireless communication and it is building up remarkable position for wireless sensor network (WSN). As ZigBee is using the 2.4GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) unlicensed frequency band, coexistence issues arise as there are also other wireless technologies sharing the same band, such as 802.11b/g WiFi, Blue...

Coexistence Among Wireless Networks Operating at Different Power Levels

Unlicensed wireless access is becoming increasingly popular because of its low cost. However, different wireless applications have different requirements in terms of range and power, which makes them difficult to coexist in the same unlicensed spectrum. One such example is Zigbee and WiFi coexistence where low-power Zigbee nodes are frequently starved by WiFi nodes. Recent standardization of se...
