Improved Channel Classification and Scheduling for Non-collaborative Bluetooth/ WLAN Coexistence

In this paper, we propose two new techniques to enhance the existing Bluetooth and WLAN coexistence mechanisms. The first one is channel clustering, which is used to classify the channel status more accurately. The second one is called probabilistic channel visiting, which is used to more reasonably allocate the channel resources between WLAN and BT devices. Both techniques are beneficial in improving the performance of the existing coexistence mechanisms. The effectiveness of these techniques is quantified by simulations
