Measured performance of a wireless LAN

چکیده
We have studied the performance of a high-speed commercial spread-spectrum wireless LAN that uses the CSMA/CA multiple-access strategy. Employing synthetic workloads, we measured packet capture success more so than signal propagation characteristics. Specifically , we measured throughput, packet loss rates, range, and patterns of errors within packets. We conclude that CSMA/CA is quite successful in allocating band-width under stress, but that packet capture rate degrades very quickly once the LAN's eeective range is exceeded. Hence, network maintainers should plan the layout of wireless networks at least as carefully as they plan wired networks.

In addition to these computers, products of Lucent Technologies have been used as the wireless communication adapters. Our metric that is the criteria used to evaluate the performance of our W...
متن کاملImpact of Implementing VPN to Secure Wireless LAN
Many corporations are seriously concerned about security of networks and therefore, their network supervisors are still reluctant to install WLANs. In this regards, the IEEE802.11i standard was developed to address the security problems, even though the mistrust of the wireless LAN technology is still existing. The thought was that the best security solutions could be found in open standards ba...
متن کاملAn architecture for wireless LAN/WAN integration
To allow a seamless integration between wireless LANs and Wireless WANs, we developed a full stack adaptation model and a simple subnet architecture that superimposes Mobile-IP on cellular-type wireless LANs. The idea is to use Mobile IP as an integrative layer atop different LAN/WAN networks. While Mobile-IP is widely used in wireless WANs, it is not known how well it performs under a wireless...
