Abstract
In the last decade, the advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) has caused unlicensed radio spectrum, especially the 2.4 GHz ISM band, to be immensely crowded with smart wireless devices that are used in a wide range of application domains. Due to their diversity in radio resource use and channel access techniques, when collocated, these wireless devices create interference with each other, known as Cross-Technology Interference (CTI), which can lead to increased packet losses and energy consumption. CTI is a significant problem for low-power wireless networks, such as IEEE 802.15.4, as it decreases the overall dependability of the wireless network. To improve the performance of low-power wireless networks under CTI conditions, we propose a data-driven proactive receiver-aware MAC protocol, LUCID, based on interference estimation and white space prediction. We leverage statistical…
