Summary:
In recent years, a plethora of wireless applications such as Bluetooth and Ultra-wide band (UWB) radio have emerged. This drastic increase has overly congested the spectrum. So, new networks such as cognitive radios that can solve the spectrum congestion have emerged. But in such networks, interference is introduced at the physical layer. We study and develop an interference model capable of capturing the intrinsic characteristics of the coexistence of such wireless applications. We investigate the effect of interference using device isolation probability or outage probability in presence Rayleigh and Nakagami-m fading at the physical layer and the impact of lognormal shadowing. We assume that the devices are either deterministically placed or randomly distributed according to a Poisson point process. We derive explicit expressions for the isolation probability and outage probability that give insight into how these channel impairments affect communication in these applications. We use computer simulations to validate our analytical results.
