An Analysis of the QoS in the Transmission in 802.11g Networks in the Presence of Bluetooth Interference

This paper analyzes the impact of Bluetooth interference on IEEE 802.11g data transmissions in a home environment. The test scenario was composed by two wireless computers associated to an access point and by two cell phones with Bluetooth enabled. Three parameters are analyzed: transmission time, average data transmission rate and number of lost packets. The results obtained showed that Bluetooth transmission affected the IEEE 802.11g one.
