Abstract

Wireless personal area networks (WPAN) are becoming more and more popular for use by mobile professionals in areas like airports, hotels, or convention centers. The demand for wireless networks is expected to undergo an explosive growth as Bluetooth(TM) capable devices become more and more popular. In such a scenario, it is imperative that designer are aware of the performance characteristics of several Bluetooth(TM) networks operating within the same area. There are several issues that need consideration like security, self-interference and adjacent network interference. The objective of this research is to evaluate the performance of a Bluetooth(TM) network in the presence of self-interference which included adjacent and co-channel interference from neighboring Bluetooth(TM) networks. Specific to the above topics of interest, the following research tasks are performed: (1) The magnitude of self-interference problem in Bluetooth(TM) networks. (2) The system throughput is evaluated by varying duty cycles of the various networks. (3) The pathloss difference is measured between the desired and the interfering device.
