“…In [25], the ability of dual band access points (APs) to support heterogeneous client adapters and applications was studied. After real experimentation, the authors found that dual band routers can be useful as a way to reduce the negative effects of the heterogeneity in the network adapters of the clients.…”

“…Many works (e.g., [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]) study different characteristics of WiFi in practice, but still more practical tests and a larger set of experiments are needed. For example, most of the works are focused only on the 2.4 MHz band or only study a reduced set of aspects of the 5GHz band.…”

Abstract. In wireless community networks, backbone point-to-point links concentrate most of the traffic. Thus, these links are crucial for the overall performance of the network. Network managers have to constantly test and maintain these links to optimise their performance, but their decisions are often based upon rumours or a purely theoretical knowledge of the technologies being used. These sources of information can be very biased and can lead to incorrect decisions in such complex systems. In this work we provide the guidelines to help in wireless links optimization by covering the most common mistakes or questions, and by addressing the critical factors one by one using a real scenario. In our experiments we analyse critical characteristics such as the interference among links, the relation between channel bandwidth and throughput, the impact of output power, and the effect of antenna proximity. We are well aware that the efficiency of wireless networks is very variable and dynamic, therefore this work provides useful hints on how to better deploy an efficient wireless community network.

Going beyond the traditional coverage-oriented Wi-Fi network design, the recent Wi-Fi networks are designed for high traffic demand with high density deployments. A university campus environment is particularly unique in that a large number of users with multiple heterogeneous devices demand high capacity and performance from a wireless network over a wide geographical area. From a network management perspective, not only should the network support heterogeneous Wi-Fi protocols and devices, but high-density access points (APs) are needed to handle the high traffic demands. To meet the rising demands Wi-Fi AP upgrades are deployed incrementally over an extended period to cover the vast area found in a campus setting, which is different from a building-level Wi-Fi network. In this paper, we present a measurement study to bring forth wireless network management issues faced during incremental Wi-Fi deployment on a university campus network. We discuss various design considerations given to incremental deployments of Wi-Fi 802.11 (ac) including replacing older Wi-Fi versions, and addressing compatibility, data rate, coverage, and performance concerns. In addition, we perform pre-and-post upgrade evaluations using different network performance analysis tools. This study will shed light on heterogeneous large-scale Wi-Fi network management issues, as these will become applicable with the increasing prevalence of large metro area wireless networks.
