Bluetooth Adaptive Techniques to Mitigate Interference

Overview Recently, there has been a growing number of industry led activities focused on the coexistence of wireless devices in the 2.4 GHz band. Both, the IEEE 802.15.2 Coexistence Task Group and the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) are looking at similar techniques for alleviating the impact of interference. This paper studies using adaptive frequency hopping for Bluetooth devices when operating in close proximity to WLAN systems. The paper presents the details of an AFH algorithm and compared its performance to BIAS, a delay transmission method aimed at interference mitigation.

Heavyweights back wireless communications

Bluetooth will use a 2.4GHz radio frequency, an unlicensed band which is already used by wireless LANs and microwave ovens - although Siberg denied there will be significant interference problems. The companies have unveiled a technology - called...

Ovum View: BT in pole position for wireless LAN

Due to problems with interference in the frequency bands employed by WLAN and other technologies, only a very limited number of WLAN service providers are likely to be able, or permitted, to operate in any given locale.

Bluetooth shatters milestone

Another important improvement is the addition of adaptive frequency hopping (AFH), which is designed to reduce interference with other devices that use the same 2.4GHz wireless spectrum -- including some cordless phones and increasingly-popular Wi...

Then there is the potential problem of frequency interference with Bluetooth. Over recent years, phones have become dual band, tri-band and even quad-band to cover an ever larger frequency range of countries with GSM networks.

Radioactive: Bluetooth - survival of the fastest

The term 'ultra-wide band' was first coined by the US Department of Defence in 1989 which was using it for ground-penetrating radar. This increases the signal's range by reducing interference. Essentially this means that all future high-speed...

Bluetooth SIG gets some wireless chums

Bluetooth and wi-fi rely on the same frequency band and, as a result, Bluetooth uses Adaptive Frequency Hopping to eliminate interference. Each of these standards have been making a lot of headway as separate efforts, despite interference issues...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
