Abstract

The mobile revolution has brought us the possibility to enjoy our favorite applications anywhere and anytime, and mobile gaming has become an industry with rapid growing potential recent years. Mobile gaming, as a cheaper and more convenient way to pass free time than console or PC, has been very fascinating to university students. With the rising popularity and proliferation of mobile gaming among university students, how well can SFU wifi and LTE networks support the amount of traffic and data associated with mobile gaming? To answer this question, we would like to analyse the performance and reliability when it comes to mobile gaming using SFU Wifi and ISP provided LTE network. At the same time, we will be looking at the bit rates of the transfers, loss rate of packets, and latency performance for different networks.
