Abstract

We turn now to an important aspect of wireless communication systems, the possible disturbance of the service quality by too much noise in the system, caused by too many signals being transmitted in a vicinity. This problem, called interference problem , is ubiquitous in ad-hoc systems and cannot be easily neglected. In words, this phenomenon can be roughly described as follows. We imagine that from each of the locations of the devices in the system a signal is emitted. The superposition of all these signals at a given site x is called interference at x. If the interference is too large, then the transmission of a given signal to x can be unsuccessful.
