Introduction/Background

• ISM band is getting more and more crowded. Expanding use of this band by various systems such as Bluetooth,

ZigBee, and other systems as well as WLAN. Recent movement of "smart" system will boost this tendency.

• High traffic-load situation may be caused frequently in future, which degrades the efficiency of the overall communications due to inter-system interference among co-existing wireless systems.

• In addition, wireless devices will be more widely used in future even in system/machine control applications that request very high reliability.

We present here

• Demonstration to visualize how current different systems in the 2.4GHz band behave in a congested (high traffic-load) situation.

• Co-existence of WLAN and Bluetooth (BT) as a typical example

• Trying to utilize spectrum resources as much as possible

• A proposal to start discussions of advanced technologies to enhance the efficiency of 2.4GHz communication and reliability.

• The use of DSA, the dynamic spectrum sensing technology

Demonstration of high-traffic situation with WLAN and BT

• We measured how spectrum is utilized in a situation where several radio systems are operated autonomously with high traffic loads.

– Four pairs of WLAN(11b) operated with ch. 1, 5, 9, and 13

– One pair of Bluetooth– Execute long file transfer with FTP.

Setup Configuration• Measurement system is setup in anechoic chamber (22.5m

x 14.5m x 12m).

• Scenario– Case1: All WLAN Link are same TX power

– Case2: On of WLAN link is low TX power

Measurement results (Case1)• Optimum situation is assumed.

• Each AP transmits same power.• WLAN and BT shearing spectrum resources

• Still remain unused spectrum

Measurement results (Case2)• Rather realistic situation is assumed.

– Transmission power of AP at ch. 13 reduced 10dB.• Bluetooth takes position of WLAN’s channel and thus makes rather

wide whitespace.– It makes many residual and useless radio resources and degrades spectral

efficiency

Short summary• As is demonstrated, each system tries to utilizes its assigned

spectrum resources in 2.4GHz band, however it resultantly makes resources unused and uselessly left more than expected under high traffic-load situations.

• In order to enhance the efficiency of spectrum use and reliability of communication, we feel the necessity of new technology for future WPAN.

DSA, the dynamic spectrum access

• DSA has been introduced into IEEE 802.22 and IEEE 802.11 TGaf.

• We has been also studying DSA and detailed MAC protocols suitable for WPAN, based on our concerns as shown in the demonstration.

• In near future we may face with high traffic-load situation in 2.4GHz band. In preparation to this, we wish to propose here to kick the discussions of better use of spectrum resources shared by different systems in their own manners.

• As a promising technology we presented here the use of DSA for WPAN.
