Performance of IEEE 802.11 WLANs in a Bluetooth Environment

Overview This paper focuses on WLANs based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and a short-range radio system based on Bluetooth specifications, which operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band. It presents a model of the interference that IEEE 802.11 WLANs may experience either because of a voice or a data Bluetooth link. It derives results showing that by applying simple traffic shaping techniques, interference can be significantly reduced.

Faster Wi-Fi hot spots get green light

There may not be an immediate need for public WLANs running 802.11a, some experts have claimed, as the maximum surfing speeds available will be restricted by the speed of the connection from the hot spot to the Internet.

Beyond Wi-Fi - the future of wireless networks

The 2.4 GHz area of the spectrum is also fairly crowded, with mobile phones, Bluetooth devices and others possible sources of interference which can be as mundane as microwave ovens, though this user has been running a domestic 802.11b WLAN for...
