Abstract

The performance in terms of the mean packet error probability (PEP) in a Rayleigh fading channel with thermal noise is analytically derived for a Bluetooth transmission interfered by IEEE 802.11b. The methodology proposed carefully takes PHY as well MAC aspects into account. Simulations are used to verify methodology assumptions. Moreover, we derive the coexistence domain, in terms of relative distances between the two systems, for a fixed quality of service, i.e., a target mean PEP.
