End-Host Wireless Network Data Collection System for Wireless Network Quality Enhancement
Surat Somsanguan, Komchawal Chaipah · 2018
Wi-Fi has been largely deployed to provide wireless connection to Internet services. However, by using radio waves, there are many obstacles affecting Wi-Fi quality in many places. Often, network administrators do not have enough information on their side to help users with their Wi-Fi problems. In this study, we developed a system to collect network information on end-users periodically and right when problems occur. The system then sends the information to a network administrator to assist them in troubleshooting Wi-Fi problems. We analyzed primary data obtained from tested users, and found that the information collected from our system had potentials to help a network administrator diagnose problems for users.
