Because of their exclusive features, millimeter wave directive mesh networks can be considered for small cell backhaul support in urban environments. For this purpose, a network of closely spaced stations has been considered with very directive line-of-sight links operating in the 60-GHz band. An attempt is made to evaluate channel response and interference behavior in such a network, taking into account the effect of building blockage. A simple grid of building blocks is considered as the propagation environment, and wave propagation is simulated using 2.5-dimensional (2.5D) ray tracing (2D with ground effect) to calculate the received signal at different nodes in the network. The results are compared with free space predictions and used to evaluate interference at all nodes in the channel and describe certain characteristics of links, such as the delay profile and the correlation length.

In-band full-duplex (IFD) communication has recently attracted a great deal of interest because it potentially provides a two-fold spectral efficiency increase over half-duplex communications. In this paper, we propose a novel digital self-interference cancelation (DSIC) algorithm for an IFD communication system in which two nodes exchange orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. The proposed DSIC algorithm is based on the least-squares estimation of a self-interference (SI) channel with block processing of multiple OFDM symbols, in order to eliminate the fundamental and harmonic components of SI induced through the practical radio frequency devices of an IFD transceiver. In addition, the proposed DSIC algorithm adopts discrete Fourier transform processing of the estimated SI channel to further enhance its cancelation performance. We provide a minimum number of training symbols to estimate the SI channel effectively. The evaluation results show that our proposed DSIC algorithm outperforms a conventional algorithm.

In order for unlicensed devices to co-exist on the same frequency band, the frequency interference mitigation policy is necessary. Because the effects of frequency interference between unlicensed devices may vary depending on the analysis layer, exact interference analysis must be proceeded before making any related spectrum policy. In this paper, a frequency interference between WLAN and WPAN systems that operate at 2.4 GHz ISM band were analyzed in the physical layer and MAC layer, respectively. From the results, we confirmed that the interference analysis in MAC layer is closer to the measured results. Based on these investigations, we suggest a new co-existence criterion for unlicensed devices in MAC layer.

The conventional channel selection method for a ZigBee communication network basically detects the energy values in all channels. In the ISM band, no license is required to use channels in this band, so there may exist various interference factors in this band. It is well known that WLAN is the major interference factor degrading the performance of ZigBee in the ISM band. In this paper, we propose an efficient channel selection algorithm which uses the pattern of WLAN channel uses as the a priori information. By using the proposed algorithm, we may save the time required to select channels for the ZigBee communications.

LR-WPAN(Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Network) hewn as IEEE 802.15.4 is considered as one of the most suitable specifications published until now to accomplish USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network). In this paper we simulate interference effects to other systems if LR-WPAN will be used in 900MHz. In considering the current usage situation of 900MHz frequency band, we can think LR-WPAN shares the frequency band of $908.5{\sim}914MHz$ assigned for RFID/USN. The simulation results of the case of LR-WPAN and RFID/USN sharing the frequency band show that the probability of interference of LR-WPAN to CT1 and RFID is 2.5% and 2.1%, respectively. In order to avoid interference effects to public communications, simulations results show that the protection distance of about loom is needed.

In order for heterogeneous unlicensed devices to co-exist on the same frequency band, the frequency interference avoidance mechanism is necessary. In this paper, a frequency interference between WLAN and WPAN systems that operate at 2.4 GHz ISM band was analyzed in the MAC layer. We observed that WPAN systems suffer from severe interference from WLAN systems. To avoid this interference problem, we propose a new channel shift algorithm for WPAN systems. We showed that the proposed channel shift algorithm is better than the traditional WPAN system which uses a fixed channel in terms of throughput.

In this paper, we present narrowband interference (NBI) cancelling algorithm applied to wideband spread spectrum system. We introduce multi-carrier transmission technique to overcome hardware inplementation difficulty of wideband spreading above 40MHz and to enhance NBI performance. A direct-sequence spread spectrum receiver using both decision-feedback and two sided LMS filters for combating narrowband interference is applied. We show that performance of this receiver outperforms conventional NBI rejection systems in tone jamming, partial band jamming, and impulsive channel through the bit error ratio evaluation. In addition, we propose a new technique to improve the performance of time domain NBI rejection algorithm sensitive to impulsive channel.

In this paper, we propose a single antenna SSD(simultaneous single band duplex) system using turbo equalizer. The proposed system communicates simultaneously on single band. That is the proposed system is full-duplex system. The proposed system uses balanced feed network circuit to improve isolation in single antenna structure. Also, the proposed system uses RF(radio frequency) cancellation and digital cancellation to cancel self-interference. Additionally, the proposed system uses turbo equalizer to equalize ISI(inter-symbol interference) by harsh multipath fading and to collect bit errors by residual self-interference signals. By using turbo equalizer, the proposed system guarantees QoS(quality of service). In this paper, we uses Simulink simulation program to analyze performance of the proposed system. The simulation results confirm that proposed system can communicate simultaneously by using balanced feed network, RF cancellation, digital cancellation and turbo equalizer in harsh multipath channel on single band.

In this paper, we proposed the methodology of interference analysis based on monte-carlo method for effective use of Industrial, Scientific, Medical (ISM) band. The interference scenario is divided according to the distance and density. The simulation of interference analysis evaluates the interference probability according to distribution density of Interfering Transmitters (It) in the Secure Interference Area (SIA). The SIA is gained from the Interference Efficiency Range that satisfied to Interference Permissible Range of Victim Receiver (Vr). Simulation result that apply the proposed interference scenario to the WLAN and bluetooth, Interference Permissible Range was 60~400m. And the WLAN was acceptable within interference permissible range to six bluetooth that exist in the SIA. In the same condition, when applied Listen Before Talk (LBT) based on Cognitive Radio (CR) to the bluetooth using Frequency Hopping (FH), interference probability was decreased sharply. The Spectrum Engineering Advanced Monte Carlo Analysis Tool (SEAMCAT) that has been developed based on the monte-carlo method by European Radio-communications Office (ERO) were used to the interference simulation.

This paper analyzes the interference effect of WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) service on WiBro(Wireless Broadband) service in adjacent frequency band by using Monte Carlo method. For the analysis, we make scenario that WLAN service operates on frequency band of 2401 MHz ~ 2423 MHz and WiBro service operates on frequency band of 698 MHz ~ 704 MHz. In case of WiBro receiver is close to WLAN AP(Access Point), the interference will be increased. So, we calculate the protection distance between WiBro receiver and WLAN AP to meet interference probability of 5 % below and required interference power of WLAN AP to meet interference probability of 5 % below in the case of fixed protection distance. As a result, the protection distance of 60 m and -9.5 dBm of required interference power of WLAN AP at 10 m of the fixed protection distance are analyzed.
