Abstract—Bluetooth is a radio technology for Wireless Personal Area Networks
operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. Since both Bluetooth and IEEE
802.11 devices use the same frequency band and may likely come together in
a laptop or may be close together at a desktop, interference may lead to significant
performance degradation. The main goal of this paper is to propose
solutions to the interference problem consisting of power control adjustments
and scheduling policies to be implemented by the Bluetooth device. Simulation
results are given for selected scenarios and configurations of interest.
Keywords—Bluetooth, Interference, Power Control, MAC scheduling
