Study of 802.11 Network Performance and Wireless Multicasting
Biju Issac · 2009
IEEE 802.11 proposed a number of standards and each one had a specific goal. They can be configured in infrastructure mode or ad hoc mode. In the study of infrastructure mode, the focus was on 802.11 b/g co-existence along with other single mode operations to analyze the throughput and traffic drop through simulation. In the study of ad hoc mode, the focus was to analyze the behavior of ad hoc networks with demand driven ad hoc routing protocols like - Ad-Hoc On-demand Distance Vector Routing, Dynamic Source Routing and Temporally-Ordered Routing Algorithm in terms of throughput. Finally an investigation is done to study wireless multicasting and its behavior.
