| Abstract: | Many studies on measurement and characterization of wireless LANs
have been performed recently. Most of these measurements have been
conducted from the wired portion of the network based on wired
monitoring or SNMP statistics. In this paper we argue that traffic
measurements from a wireless vantage point in the network are more
appropriate than wired measurements or SNMP statistics, to expose
the wireless medium characteristics and their impact on the
traffic patterns. While it is easier to make consistent
measurements in the wired part of a network, such measurements can
not observe the significant vagaries present in the wireless
medium itself. As a consequence constructing an accurate
measurement system from a wireless vantage point is important but
usually quite difficult due to the noisy wireless channel. In our
work we have explored the various issues in implementing such a
system to monitor traffic in an IEEE 802.11 based wireless
network. We show the effec... |
