Poster abstract: Multi-channel interference in wireless sensor networks

One solution for increasing the network throughput of a WSN is to use multiple orthogonal channels for transmission instead of a single channel. Multiple transmissions can take place on these orthogonal channels to increase the spectral efficiency. Typical WSN devices are equipped with a single transceiver with channel switching capabilities. These devices provide support for the use of multiple channels operating at different frequencies e.g., CC2420 radios used for MicaZ and Telos motes can use 16 different channels in the 2.4 GHz band.
