Empirical Study of UDPuploss in IEEE802.11b/G WLAN System

Abstract

A data link performance in terms of throughput based on the signal to
noise ratio (SNR) observed were measured and recorded for a radio
environment in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). This
environment was taken into consideration due to the fact that WLAN
are likely going to be used in real-life. User Datagram Protocol
(UDP) upstream loss (uploss) and Received Signal Strength Level
(RSSL) were measured from a WLANs in IEEE802.11b/g supported
network using Tamosoft Throughput Test and inSSIDer software
tools. Signal to noise ratio (SNR) was computed from the measured
RSSL. A wide variety of quality of service (QoS) traffic having
different levels of network priority and all corresponding to different
Wi-fi Multimedia (WMM) access categories were used in this
research. Empirical data was statistically generated and tested for
performance.
