Abstract

Co-channel interference (CCI) has become an important problem with the increasing deployment of wireless networks in the unlicensed frequency band. The existing Bluetooth scheme avoids collisions by modifying its hop sequences in the presence of WLAN. We propose a frequency diversity technique, namely dual channel transmission (DCT), which reduces packet error rate (PER) due to CCI when multiple Bluetooth piconets coexist with or without WLAN interference. The idea of DCT is to transmit the same packet on two distinct frequency hopped channels simultaneously and the power used in each channel is half of what would be used in single channel transmission (SCT). Since a packet is successfully received if at least one channel survives, the PER is reduced even when multiple piconets coexist. Further, the two channels of DCT are separated by at least 22 MHz to ensure robustness to WLAN interference. Theoretic analysis and numerical simulations on key metrics - PER, throughput, and transmission time are presented to validate the proposed approach and quantify its advantages. Comparisons to other coexistence mechanisms also demonstrate the effectiveness of DCT.
