Uplink Performance of TCP/UDPProtocol on IEEE 802.11/G Wireless Network Category: Networks

This paper studies wireless network performance in an outdoor environment. Experiments are conducted on an infrastructure mode of IEEE 802.11b/g wireless LAN, using a wireless-enabled server, and one wireless client, and a wireless network analyzer tool. The experiments focus on the TCP/UDP performance and network throughput achievable in the wireless outdoor environment. This paper discusses results of static performance of the wireless network, Received signal Strength (RSSI), response time and throughput values parameters. These parameters estimate the behavior and characteristics of the network. The two transport layer protocols, TCP and UDP are used in these measurements with IP as network layer protocol. The measurements are taken with the help of AMG WiFi Manager which is developed by the researcher and NetIQ Chariot tools.
