Analysis of Interference in Wireless Networks

As wireless systems grow rapidly worldwide, one of the most important things, wireless systems designers and service providers faces is interference. Interference decreases coverage, capacity [1], and limits the effectiveness of both new and existing systems. It is very difficult to avoid because wireless communications systems must exist together in extremely complex signal environments. These environments are consisting of multiple operating wireless networks [2]. At the same instant, new technologies and signal sources in Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) and digital video broadcasting are jeopardized to wireless communications service. This article provides a survey and analysis of interference in Wireless Network and provides a taxonomy.
