Both 802.11b and Bluetooth operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and both these standards are expected to become prevalent in the near future. Thus, interference poses a major problem. The IEEE 802.15 wireless personal area networks (WPAN) group has done extensive mathematical modeling and simulation on this subject, but very little work has been done with actual Bluetooth and 802.11b radios with respect to actual office usage. This paper deals with actual radio interference experiments conducted in a typical office environment.
