Resumen

Bluetooth, with its short range and low power requirements, shows great promise in enabling the deployment of personal area networks. The ubiquity of other networking technologies such as IEEE 802.11 Local Area Networks means that wireless, short-range communication technologies such as Bluetooth will have to coexist with these 802.11 networks. We describe the design, implementation, and evaluation of a dynamic approach that improves Bluetooth performance in the presence of IEEE 802.11 traffic interference. Our approach improves Bluetooth performance in the presence of 802.11 interference traffic by almost 100% (for raw data throughput) and by 51-85% for real user applications such as file transfers.
