This paper proposes a novel CTC technology, CB-sense. The CB-sense guarantees a dedicated period for the CTC that results in low duty cycle of the receiver device. In addition, it send a lot of information explosively during the dedicated CTC period. Thus, it can achieve high throughput. The CB-sense uses Clear to Send (CTS) packets to transmit information bits to the heterogeneous wireless technologies. The CTS packets block the neighboring node transmissions, so it reduces co-channel interference. In experiment results, CB-sense represents 20 times more throughput than FreeBee and below 5% symbol error rate in the interference environment.

Mutual Interference scenarios between Wireless Broadband (WiBro) and Wireless LAN (WLAN) in DTV bands are assumed. Co-channel interference and adjacent channel interference are respectively evaluated in terms of carrier to interference ratio (C/I) by using Spectrum Engineering Advanced Monte Carlo Analysis Tool (SEAMCAT) based on the Monte-Carlo simulation method. For the simulation, three frequencies such as 185 MHz, 481 MHz and 687 MHz are chosen. Analysis results indicate that interference situation of using frequency of 185 MHz is the worst case, which requires longer protection distance between WiBro MS and WLAN User Equipment (UE), lower transmit power of WiBro Mobile Station (MS) and WiBro Base Station (BS) and WLAN UE and larger guard band. Comparing to cases of using frequency of 185 MHz and 481 MHz, interference situation of using frequency of 687 MHz is slighter. Therefore, using frequency of 687 MHz is easier for coexistence between WiBro and WLAN. Analysis results can be used as reference and guideline when planning the deployment of WiBro and WLAN in DTV bands.

As a communications system and using the wireless devices is increased at the world, the interference among devices at 2.4GHz band become issue. New complex content technology as education, concert, broadcast, thema-park are developed between Virtual Reality technology and tradition. That is expect an annual growth rate of more than 14%. Almost Virtual Reality devices use motion sense or a wireless joystick. Therefore it is necessarily to analyze the coexistence between Virtual Reality devices and Wi-Fi in the ISM band. The interference scenario and propagation of the Extended Hata Model was established to analyze the interference from WLAN into Virtual Reality devices. Through simulation results based on Monte-Carlo principle, separation frequency was obtained to protect WLAN interference from Virtual Reality devices.

The number of channels specified in IEEE 802.15.4 Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks(LRWPANs) is too few to operate many applications of WPANs in the same area. To overcome this limit, we introduce Virtual Channel, a novel concept to increase the number of available channels when various WPAN applications coexist. Basically, a virtual channel is a newly-created channel via superframe scheduling within the inactive period of a logical channel preoccupied by other WPANs. To maximize the coexistence capability of WPANs using virtual channels, we propose Least Collision superframe scheduler(LC-scheduler), its less complex heuristics both for a given single channel, and Virtual Channel Selector(VCS) to efficiently manage multiple available logical channels. In addition, a simple but practical synchronization method is developed to compensate different time drifts among coexisting WPANs. The simulation results demonstrate that a remarkable improvement on the coexistence capability of the 802.15.4 can be achieved through the proposed schemes.

In this paper, we consider a channel selection method for the coexistence of heterogeneous systems in the TV white space (TVWS). First, we define the target heterogeneous system structure. Then, under the defined system structure, we discuss how the heterogeneous systems share the TVWS channels. Specifically, the heterogeneous systems having different bandwidths cannot use the TVWS channels due to the lack of wideband channels when only narrowband channels are remained. Hence, in order to minimize the blocking from the different bandwidth problem, we propose a channel selection method for the narrowband systems to firstly occupy the narrowband channels rather than the wideband channels. The proposed narrowband-first channel selection is shown to enhance the spectral efficiency of the TVWS, especially in the IEEE 802.19.1 wireless coexistence system.

In bluetooth system, there are two kinds of interference. One is the frequency static interference, for example 802.11 direct sequence, the interferer uses fixed frequency band. Another is frequency dynamic interference, for example other piconets or 802.11 frequency hopping, the interferer uses dynamic frequency channel and cant be estimated. In this paper we introduce a novel solution of hybrid method of Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) and Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) to address the coexistence of bluetooth and Direct Sequence of wireless local area network (WLAN). Before any bluetooth packet transmission, in the turn around time of the current slot, both the sender and receiver sense the channel whether there is any transmission going on or not. If the channel is busy, packet transmission is withdrawn until another chance. This is the LBT in Bluetooth. Because of asymmetry sense ability of WLAN and bluetooth, AFH is introduced to combat the left front-edge packet collisions. In monitor period of AFH, LBT is performed to label the channels with static interference. Then, all the labeled noisy channels are not used in the followed bluetooth frequency hopping. In this way, both the frequency dynamic and frequency static interference are effectively mitigated. We evaluate the solution through packet collision analysis and a detail realistic simulation with IP traffic. It turns out that the hybrid method can combat both the frequency dynamic and frequency static interference. The packet collision analysis shows it almost doubles the maximal system aggregate throughput. The realistic simulation shows it has the least packet loss.

In order to increase the spectrum efficiency, recently, there is the number of studies for CR technology. For instance, IEEE 802.22 WRAN(Wireless Regional Area Network) WG considered the CR technology as a solution of WRAN system to serve the high speed internet service(1.5 Mbps down stream and 384 kbps up stream) in 100 km overall coverage and 54 MHz-746 MHz band. Basically, in MAC point of view, the WRAN system have been standardizing based on the IEEE 802.16 MAC layer features such as Data transmission method, QoS provision and Bandwidth request schemes. Additionally, the WRAN system further include CR nature functions such as incumbent user protection, self coexistence which would be importantly considered. Also, the inherent WRAN functions are added such as channel bonding and fractional bandwidth usage. This paper mainly explained frame structure, IU protection, self coexistence which are key functions of WRAN system. Finally, in this paper, we expressed a prospect of IEEE 802.22 WRAN standardization.

With explosion of wireless traffic it is required to further investigate the technologies on acquiring available spectrum resources and on sharing frequency with existing users. In 3GPP, it is started to study on feasibility and functional requirement of LTE standard in order to extend cellular services offered on only licensed band to 5 GHz unlicensed band. Operating scenario on LTE in unlicensed band is focused on carrier aggregation with licensed band, and the coexistence with Wi-Fi services in 5 GHz band is concerned as a major requirement. For a single global solution framework for licensed assisted access to unlicensed spectrum, listen-before-talk(LBT) mechanism of European regulation for fair access to channel under the coexistence environments is currently examined in 3GPP. In this paper, we evaluate two types of LBT, frame based equipment and load based equipment, with considering LTE carrier aggregation feature and performances of file transferred time and throughput.

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN), standardized as IEEE 802.15.6, enable digital devices on/around the human body to communicate with one another. WBAN is essentially a person's piconet consisting of a master (mobile) device and several slave devices, which follows his/her mobility pattern, and hence, occasionally collides with another piconet as people meet or pass by. As such, a mechanism to detect collision and avoid interference is needed for intra-piconet communications. In this paper, we focus on this notorious problem of piconet collision and propose Distributed Time Division Piconet Coexistence (DTDPC) using local time offset exchange as a simple, attractive solution. The proposed DTDPC provides different level of services for various applications. Besides our simulation results have shown that the proposed solution outperforms the conventional CSMA protocols.
