Apostolopoulos, Theodore, Oikonomou, George, Chatzivasdekis, Nikolaos. Statistical Analysis of the Performance of IEEE 802.11 LANs. In Proc. IASTED International Conference on Communication Systems and Networks (CSN 2003). pages 151-156, Benalmadena, Spain, September 2003.
Wireless LAN technology is relatively new and rapidly developing. The performance of such networks is of great importance and deep understanding is required in order to take advantage of their full potential. In our work, we installed an infrastructure IEEE 802.11b compliant Wireless LAN in the Computer and Communication Systems Laboratory, measured its performance and analyzed it, using statistical methods. Our ultimate goal was to study the impact of various operational parameters on the aforementioned performance.
