Abstract:
Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) is a wireless local area network (WLAN) technology that allows multiple users to connect to a network through radio waves. WiFi was introduced as the 802.11 standard by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Nowadays, many devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets can connect to a network environment through access points. With video streaming applications becoming more widely used than ever, we will attempt to simulate streaming performance in a home environment using various 802.11 specifications. This simulation will cover metrics such as packets received, jitter, and end-to-end delay with Riverbed Modeler.
