Performance Measurements in Wireless 802 : 11g Multi-Hop Networks
Stefan Achleitner, Wolfgang Seiss · Hogskolan Ihalmstad (Halmstad University) · 2006
This paper deals with performance measurements in 802.11g Wireless Multi-Hop Net- works at different locations. After an introduction to 802.11g Wireless LANs and Wireless Multi-Hop Networks, the testing environment consisting of hardware, soft- ware, configuration, and three different locations is described. Before test series for the actual measurements are defined, carried out reference tests provide reference perfor- mance data and prove that the used hardware is suitable for testing Wireless Multi-Hop Networks. Then the results of the measurements are discussed which show the influ- ence of multiple hops on throughput and latency for single and multi channel Multi-Hop Networks in indoor, outdoor, and urban environment. Finally, an outlook to further tests and improvements of Wireless Multi-Hop Networks is given.
