Investigation on QoS of Campus-wide WiFi Networks

Abstract

WiFi is widely implemented in campus wide including administrative, teaching and student's accommodation. Wireless communications are associated with interconnect devices which includes cellular networks, infrared, bluetooth and WiFi enabled devices. It involves mobility and freedom of assessing information anytime and anywhere. A study on WiFi networks in a campus environment is presented in this paper. The aim of the research was to investigate the connectivity problems to WiFi networks. The study includes WiFi performance analysis as well as network auditing. Channel overlapping and saturation condition were some of the problems encountered. Different types of software were used for analyzing the results.
