The continuous development of mobile communications and the reduce of the costs in achieving data services has led to an increasing number of users and associated services that can improve professional and day by day activities. An increasing number of devices are using the 802.11 Wi-Fi standard to communicate which often leads to a busy spectrum with delays and low throughput caused by the interference of adjacent channels and Bluetooth transmissions. My contribution is related to a different approach in identifying sources of interference in Wi-Fi communications and also other sources based on communication standards that are using the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band (2.4 GHz). This approach focuses on generating traffic on different networks using commercial hardware in the presence of single and multiple interference sources. The study demonstrates the influence of the interference factor which appears when ordinary devices are sharing the same band although they are not using the same communication standard everytime. |
