| Abstract: | In the unlicensed 2.4GHz ISM band,there is not only IEEE 802.11 wireless systems being used,but also some other devices,such as residential microwave oven,Bluetooth devices,and cordless phone.All these devices that are not used for the data communications cause unintentional interference that will degrade the WI-FI system.In this paper,the transmission powers for common RF devices are measured and the SIR(signal-to-interference ratio)of different interferers to Wi-Fi is also studied.With this information,the effect of different interlerence on WI-FI signal can hence be quantified.Furthermore,the ability of the interference avoidance protocols,which is built into the AP,to address interference problems caused by that device is determined. |
