Coexistence in Wireless Networks: Challenges and System-Level Solutions in the Unlicensed Bands
內容描述
Description
The increasing popularity of wireless networks makes interference and
cross-talk between multiple systems inevitable. This book describes techniques
for quantifying this, and the effects on the performance of wireless networks
operating in the unlicensed bands. It also presents a variety of system-level
solutions, obviating the need for new hardware implementations. The book
starts with basic concepts and wireless protocols before moving on to
interference performance evaluation, interference modeling, coexistence
solutions, and concluding with common misconceptions and pitfalls. The theory
is illustrated by reference to real-world systems such as Bluetooth and WiFi.
With a number of case studies and many illustrations, this book will be of
interest to graduate students in electrical engineering and computer science,
to practitioners designing new WLAN and WPAN systems or developing new
techniques for interference supression, and to general users of merging
wireless technologies.
• The book provides a wide-range of tools for quantifying interference
and its impact on performance • It develops a catalogue of coexistence
techniques that could be applied in various environments and for different
technologies • There are numerous case studies to provide illustrative
examples of conceptual discussion
