In IEEE 802.11 based wireless networks interference increases as more access points are
added. A metric helping to quantize this interference seems to be of high interest. In this …

Nodes, using CSMA/CA type medium access control (MAC) protocols (eg IEEE 802.11 e)
and omnidirectional antennas, in an ad-hoc network may not be able to transmit packets to …

This paper presents a performance study of the deafness effect caused by the use of
directional antenna in 802.11 networks. We show that different assumptions on antenna and …

Directional antennas have been introduced to improve the performance of 802.11 based
wireless networks. Station equipped with directional antennas can beamform data in a …

Radio frequency interference in wireless networks affects data packets which are transmitted
over WiFi networks and the data packets are lost due to poor signal strength during …

One of the key problems in 802.11 standard networks are interferences. It is not possible to
avoid the influence of other wireless systems. One can only minimize the power level of …

We present an outdoors 802.11 a testbed based on off-the-shelf components that we used
for multi-radio node experimentation. This is the first such testbed, to our knowledge …

Interference is a crucial factor that impacts the overall throughput performance of IEEE
802.11-based wireless networks. As such, understanding interference characteristics is …

This technical report documents tests conducted to measure the effects of wireless
interference on throughput. Our experiments consisted of 802.11 g wireless network …

Interference of links in wireless mesh networks has a great impact on the network
performance. Most of previous studies of this problem are based on unrealistic interference …
