Minimum Interference in UWB and WiFi Networks

Abstract:

Due to the key property of UWB communications: short transmission range, the communication between different UWB devices sometimes needs the help of relay devices. We studied a hybrid wireless network including UWB devices and WiFi devices together. We analyzed the interference of the network and introduced a new reasonable interference definition in the hybrid environment. We proposed an optimal algorithm to reduce the interference of network. Extensive simulations have been conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithms. The simulation results show that the new proposed algorithm make the interference of the network minimum and improve the throughput of the network.
