Abstract

The paper presents a new algorithm IBLUEREA, which enables reconfiguration of Bluetooth (BT) scatternet to reduce mutual interferences between BT and Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b) networks operating on the same area. IBLUEREA makes use of proposed procedure for modeling ISM environment around a given BT scatternet. The mechanism is based on estimation of the probabilities of successful (unsuccessful) frame transmissions. This determination is useful to take a decision concerning co-existence of technologies which operate in the same ISM band (here Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11b).
