Case Study #1: 2.45 GHz ISM Band
100 MHz Wide
Spread Spectrum Techniques
Lightly Regulated, Signals Not Explicitly Coordinated
WLAN (typically dominant occupant), Bluetooth, Cordless Phones
• And 1 kW+ microwave ovens!
• And almost anything else!
Very Dynamic
• Content not known at any specific point in time
• Often very low occupancy
Lots of Collision Tolerance Needed
Potential "Cliff Effect" at Some Degree of Crowding
