The Impact of Bluetooth Low Energy Interference and MU-MIMO Technology on Wi-Fi 5 Network Performance

The mutual influence of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Wi-Fi 5 technologies in the 2.4 GHz band was investigated, along with an assessment of MU-MIMO technology effectiveness under such interaction. Experimental measurements of key network performance indicators, such as TCP throughput and connection stability, were conducted for various wireless channel configurations. It was established that BLE activity predominantly negatively affects Wi-Fi parameters. The dependency of interference levels on Wi-Fi channel selection and channel width was analyzed.

Improving the efficiency of SCTP network software

The work presents a software system for demonstrating the operation of the SCTP transport protocol in comparison with its better-known analogues – TCP and UDP. To reproduce the operation of the chosen protocol, a socket API was created that describes the operation of SCTP, based on RFC 6458. It  also describes the transport protocols that are similar to the  protocol  that  was chosen to improve  performance,  namely  TCP and UDP, their  strengths and weaknesses,  and what has been improved in SCTP.
