Influence of Interference on Performance of 802.11b Equipment

چکیده
In this paper effects of two most likely interference sources: narrow-band (adjacent WLAN channels) and intra-system (Bluetooth-WLAN) interference on range and performance of IEEE 802.11b WLAN equipment were studied. Three main sets of measurements were performed: the first as “free space”, the second with narrowband interference and the third with wideband interference. The results of the first set were used as a reference for other sets. The third set was accompanied by a fourth set, in which adjacent channel interference was measured. All measurements were performed at the Microwave Laboratory, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing in Zagreb, Croatia.

Empirical Study of 802.11b Wireless Networks in the Presence of Bluetooth Interference
Two complementary wireless networking standards, Bluetooth and 802.11b, operate in the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band. Although they use different methods to modulate and transmit data, significant interference can occur. Under certain conditions, a Bluetooth-enabled device can render an 802.11b connection almost useless. This paper presents measurement results from a st...
