Abstract


The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm, popularized the use of wireless devices in the most diverse environments, creating the concept of Smart Environments (SE). SEs can be anything from a factory floor to our homes and are equipped with intelligent devices that automate most human activities. These devices suffer from the coexistence problem, as they often use the 2.4 GHz ISM band to communicate. In this context, this article presents the CASE algorithm to minimize interference in those environments through the proper allocation of wireless channels. The results suggest that the proposed algorithm reduces total interference as well as maximizes packet delivery when compared to existing approaches.

Keywords: Internet of Things, Smart Environments, Wireless Channels, Cross Technology Interference
