Abstract
Recently many short-range transceiver systems, such as ZigBee, Bluetooth and RFID(Radio Frequency Identification), have been developed. These systems are mostly low-power transceivers. In the near future many more low-power transceivers are appeared for WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Network) and interference mitigation technologies are necessary to the low-power transceivers for using frequency resources efficiently. In this paper we consider two methods for sharing frequency resources. The first case is that a frequency band previously assigned fer a certain system is shared and the second case is that the white frequency band is shared. We study the method and conditions for sharing frequency resources in the above two cases. When a frequency band is shared with ZigBee, RFID, DCP (Digital Cordless Phone) and Bluetooth as an example for the first case, the sharing conditions are investigated and the results are presented. We propose a balancing factor to maintain an equal transmitting conditions between systems having a different interference mitigation technique. In the interference simulation we use FH(Frequency Hopping) as a reference system and 0.9 of a balancing factor for LBT(Listen Before Talk) and 0.8 for DS(Direct Spreading). From the simulation results we know that a balancing factor reduces interference probability therefore many more systems can be operated in the same frequency bands compared with the case without using a balancing factor.
