FAST AND RELIABLE CHANNEL CLASSIFICATION ALGORITHMS IN BLUETOOTH NETWORKS TO DETECT AND AVOID 2.4 GHZ INTERFERERS

摘要

A method for frequency selection in a wireless communication system, includes performing in a wireless device, receiving at least one signal at a current frequency; processing at least one data packet received via the received at least one signal to determine the presence of bit errors; characterizing the received at least one signal received at the current frequency based on the processing of the at least one data packet; classifying the current frequency based on at least the characterization of the received at least one signal; and selecting the current frequency based on the classification. At least one signal strength measurement may be performed on the received at least one signal, and the processing of the at least one data packet may be performed within a current channel classification update interval.
