The temporal correlation of interference is a key performance factor of several technologies and protocols for wireless communications. A comprehensive understanding of interference correlation is especially important in the design of diversity schemes, whose performance can severely degrade in case of highly-correlated interference. Taking into account three sources of correlation -- node locations, channel, and traffic -- and using common modeling assumptions -- random homogeneous node positions, Rayleigh block fading, and slotted ALOHA traffic -- we derive closed-form expressions and calculation rules for the correlation coefficient of the overall interference power received at a certain point in space. Plots give an intuitive understanding as to how model parameters influence the interference correlation.
