A tested for heterogeneous 802.11A/B/G/N wireless mesh network: mobility models, implementation and open issues

Abstract

In recent years, more and more people use wireless technology, for example Wi- Fi to link and browse to the Internet. Because of technological advances and many benefits for the wireless network connection, the number of devices which built in with the function of wireless network connection more and more over the years. So, the standard of IEEE 802.11 was established to consolidate the wireless LAN (WLAN). The standard will upgrade and change regularly to cope with the larger data flow over the wireless network. The wireless network is a centralized network management and can provide a lot of advantage for the users, for example mobility, easy accessible, easy to set up, high data rates, efficiency and manageable. Nowadays, the researches on wireless network is considered as not detailed enough. So it required a lot of meticulous analysis and evaluation on the network performance, faulty tolerance, signal transmission, signal strength, packet loss and throughput. Consideration of several works in this experiment are based on real environment. The investigations are necessitate to carry out research methodology in experiment included configuration, planning, mathematical modeling, simulation for validation and verification on experiment. To examine and address the issues on various type of network topology scenarios using standalone access point and wireless mesh network will proceed in this experiment.
