Performance analysis of wireless network using Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11 devices

There are many applications where wireless connections of various PDA devices are required. There is a demand for the mutual work of the IEEE 802.11 WLAN and Bluetooth devices. As they work on the same operating frequency of the 2.4 GHz ISM band, interference affect must be exposed on each other. In this work we investigate performance degradation due to interference effects. The performance is analyzed according the simulation that is based on network model. The results are presented in the terms of the probability of bit errors and throughput in the dependence of the signal strength.
