Interference of bluetooth and IEEE 802.11

The emergence of several radio technologies such as Bluetooth, and IEEE 802.11 operating in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed ISM frequency band may lead to signal interference and result in significant performance degradation when devices are co-located in the same environment. The main goal of this paper is to present a simulation environment for modeling interference based on detailed MAC and PHY models. This framework is then used to evaluate the impact of interference on the performance of Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11. We use several simulation scenarios and measure performance in terms of packet loss, residual number of errors, and access delay.
