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 firs...

As a first step, we group these factors into four factor spaces and propose a mapping of them i...
