| What have been envisaged and focused in the research as deliberated in this dissertation, refer to certain state-of-the-art perspectives of modern wireless telecommunications. Specifically, the objectives and scope of the research efforts carried out include systematic analyses of two major wireless technologies, namely, the Bluetooth™ and the CDPD system. The relevant tasks undertaken refer to analytical modeling, experimental studies and simulations pertinent to the performance considerations of the test systems subjected to EMI/RFI influences. The following can be enumerated as the specific research endeavors pursued and completed: (1) Identification of performance implications in the Bluetooth™ and CDPD wireless transmissions subjected to EMI/RFI ambients. (2) A comprehensive presentation on the system description, performance requirements, protocol issues and operational environments of the two wireless technologies under study. (3) Development of analytically tractable models, which describe the extent of EMI/RFI on the Bluetooth™ operations and provide expressions to compute the transmission impairments involved in terms of the associated packet losses. (4) Modeling of CDPD performance and deducing the statistics of data packets seizing the free AMPS channels. The associated results offer compatible simulations to deduce the data packet blocking probability. The enhancement of such blocking caused by any impulse-like noise invading the system is also modeled. (5) Proposals for methods towards EMI solutions through adopting novel shielding in the wireless systems.; The aforesaid efforts are comprehensively addressed supplemented with appropriate background details and literature survey. In conclusion, the scope of the present study is discussed and possible open-questions for future study are identified. |
