CEN6930: Wireless Experiments Background Wireless Measurements: Shao-Cheng Wang ( shaochew@ufl.edu ) Instructor: Dr. Helmy
Part I: Wireless MeasurementsAgenda • Introduction • Wireless measurement fundamentals • Tools/Procedures • Reference
http://www.ittc.ku.edu/wlan/images.shtml How does a coverage map look like?
Wireless fundamentals: SNR v.s. Performance SNR v.s. Delivery ratio (emulator) SNR v.s. Delivery ratio (real measurement) SNR v.s. TCP Tput (real measurement)
Tools (cont’d) • HP iPAQ: WiFiFoFum
Tools • Site-surveyer: Netstumbler (www.netstumbler.com) • Signal (in –dbm), SNR • AP MAC, SSID
Wireless coverage experiments Indoor measurements Outdoor measurements
Logistics • Exp: starts this week (?) • Form groups: 4~5 ppl • Equipment checkout: CSE401 • Bring your ID • 11am~6pm, no overnight checkout • Preparations • Materials • link: http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~sw0/cen6930/ • Software • Wififofum: pocket pc wifi scanner http://www.aspecto-software.com/rw/applications/wififofum/ • Knsgem: convert wifi scanner output to google earth kml • Google earth
Potential experiment topics • Coverage Map: • Create a coverage map of your choice: • SNR (enhanced with levels, dbm #’s) • SNR variations (weather, day/night) • Performance map • Find holes, additions, tech heterogeneity (11a/b/g/e/n) etc. (please coordinate between groups for the area of interest) • Reason about your choice and the implications of practicability • Observations/Surprises? • AP Hunting/Coverage/Handover • Locate APs in some specific areas/buildings • Create an AP-specific coverage map • AP-coverage/handover map for routes on campus • Observations and discussions about the AP planning (evaluation of planning, tradeoffs, applications, etc.)
