The performance of Bluetooth system in the presence of WLAN interference in an office environment

This paper presents measured performance of the Bluetooth link in a presence of WLAN interference in an office environment. The investigation was done using three different measurement scenarios. In the first scenario the corresponding devices were connected to the same computer. In the second one the receivers were separated and finally the transmitters were separated from each other as well. The results show that with a little planning both systems can truly coexist and the experienced performance degradations can be kept in a reasonable level.
