In a recent SIGCOMM paper [9], a research team led by Ramakrishna Gummadi asked a simple question: what is the impact of RF interference on the increasingly crowded unlicensed bands of the radio spectrum? They setup an 802.11 access point and connected a laptop client. They then introduced several common sources of radio interference, includ- ∗This work has been support in part by Cisco-Lehman CUNY A New MAC-Layer Paradigm for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks, AFOSR Award Number FA9550-08-1-0159, NSF Award Number CCF-0726514, and NSF Award Number CNS-0715397. †Contact Author: cnewport@mit.edu

N2 - Much of the future of wireless networking will unfold in the unlicensed bands of the radio spectrum. These bands are increasingly crowded and vulnerable. Designers of protocols in this setting must take into account a variety of interference sources, including selfish devices, malicious jammers, and incidental electromagnetic radiation (radar, microwaves, etc.). This paper surveys results from our recent research that models this adversarial interference and aims to answer fundamental questions about what can be solved reliably (and efficiently) in this increasingly relevant yet difficult environment.
