Measured Performance of the IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN

چکیده
In this study, the capabilities of an IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN are measured. For the test phases, three wireless laptop computers, a wireless and wired desktop computers and an access point (AP) are used. 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 Wireless LAN in this study is throughput [9]. The factors that are changed in the experiment are “signal to noise ratio (SNR)”, “file size (large file size (LFS) and small file size (SFS))”, “number of simultaneous users (SU) ” and the direction of the file transfer (from mobile station to mobile station (MS-MS) and from mobile station to wired station (MS-WS)) in the wireless system. We have conducted range, coverage, throughput and multiuser tests. At the end of the experiments, we investigated the effects of the factors to throughput, which is our metric.

Wireless LAN (WLAN) is set of protocols defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in the IEEE 802.11 standard[2]. This standard is itself made up of a number of substandards, allowing different speeds and technologies. Overall, most of the sub-standards of IEEE 802.11, including WLAN, use the same systems for security with only the latest revisions having any substantial ...
متن کاملAn SSCOP-based link layer protocol for wireless LANs
The IEEE 802.11 standard provides fast recovery from frame losses using a rapid link level positive acknowledgment scheme. However, the adoption of positive acknowledgment leads to inefficient frame transmission. To improve efficiency of the acknowledgments mechanism in IEEE 802.11, we propose a novel link layer protocol for wireless LANs. The proposed protocol is an adaptation of an ATM-based...
