Abstract This paper develops an analytical model for characterizing the coexistence interference in the unlicensed industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) bands, based on radio frequency measurement results in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. The modeling approach presented here offers a simple methodology for profiling the interference from devices occupying a common spectrum. Outage performance using the interference model is exemplified through the analysis for a hybrid direct‐sequence frequency‐hopping spread‐spectrum signal. The work presented in this paper looks to provide insight by means of quantitative evaluation of signal outage in a coexistence environment that can be used for engineering design of applications for unlicensed bands as well as function as a tool in the development process for future spectrum management policy models.
