Receiver Blocking
Receiver blocking is a result of limited dynamic range of power
amplifier and A/D converter.

Solutions:
Channel & Antenna separation
Use channels from different bands (e.g., Dhananjay et. al.
SIGCOMM09).
Chereddi2007, Nachtigall2008:
For 40cm antenna separation, channel separation should be 4.
Only 3 channels can be used in the first sub-band of 5GHz band.
With two channel separation, 320cm separation between
antennas is required!
Introduction
Our Goals
Goals:
Ease antenna and channel separation constraints.
