Wireless technologies sharing the same frequency band and operating in the same environment often interfere with each other, causing severe decrease in performance. In this paper, we propose two coexistence mechanisms based on traffic scheduling techniques that mitigate interference between different wireless systems operating in the 2.4-GHz industrial, medical, and scientific band. In particul...

Electromagnetic disturbances emitted from microwave ovens may cause serious interference with Bluetooth systems in the 2.4 GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. In this paper, the bit error rate (BER) performance of Bluetooth systems interfered by microwave oven noises is analyzed using a microwave oven noise model which consists of FM periodic tone-bursts. Employing Bennett’s meth...

Production of iron through BF route is still a dominant route and coke is a major raw material and energy source for the blast furnaces. The process of coal carbonization in slot ovens is one of the major sources of atmospheric pollution in an Integrated Steel Plant. Coke making process involves coal preparation, carbonization and coke handling operations. To meet the demand of Blast Furnaces o...
