Specific questions from iLab
Guidelines
* Answer each of the following questions using the sequence and data from the iLab instructions. Answer all questions in full college-level sentences.
1. In your opinion, what is the purpose of our dropping the transmit power to such a low level?
My opinion would have to go with only having 1 node as shown or just a few nodes would be accessing this access point. With dropping the power output will help increase stability if there is a lot of interference with outside noise. This node might not need the extra performance or the extra distance a higher transmit power would generate.
2. What do access point connectivity statistics collected for the roaming station show?
It looks like to me within the statistics that the 1st line stays connected for 10seconds, the 2nd line drops for 2 seconds then up for 8 seconds, the 3rd line same thing with drops for 2 seconds then up for 8 seconds. I would have to say that there seems to be some interference with the start of the 2nd & 3rd line but it still looks constant overall as staying connected.

3. What do you think the Wireless LAN control traffic received by the roaming 11b node when it is in the engineering building is composed of?
It looks like from the picture that it is composed of bits/second.

4. How much did our roaming node reduce the total throughput in our heavily loaded WLAN?
It looks like the results start at around 23,000,000 to 25,000,000 bits/second from 1 second to 11.2 seconds. Then when the roaming node came into the room at 11.2 seconds the rate went from 24,000,000 to 9,500,000 bits/second from 11.2 seconds to 21 seconds. At 21 seconds the rate went from 9,500,000 back up to 25,000,000 bits/second. This continued from 21 seconds till 30 seconds or the end of the test.

5. What caused this

    Don't expect a revolution or a vast change in the way you use wireless. The IEEE 802.11ac standard, set to be in draft form by 2011, will mainly work with the current technology powering 802.11a. The new standard will continue to work on the 5.0Ghz band, but will provide larger channels for data throughput. Whereas current technology uses 20Mhz-wide channels, 802.11ac will be using either 40Mhz or 80Mhz-wide (and possibly 160Mhz) channels to deliver data. It's the equivalent of adding a wide-mouth tab to your beer can, so your files will be able to flow more freely on your home network come 2012.…

    I. I NTRODUCTION Since wireless networks often are used for nomadic access to the Internet from a laptop, it is important to study how methods for actively measuring available bandwidth behave when wireless links are part of the end-to-end path. If endto-end available bandwidth measurement methods are to be widely accepted as performance measurement tools, it is important to ensure that they report correct values in wireless networks as well. End-to-end available bandwidth methods relying on selfinduced congestion that exist today are for example ABget [1], Pathchirp [2], Pathload [3], Spruce [4] and TOPP [5]. The principle is to inject so called probe packets,…
